Lorena B ‘Mare’ by Luca Helios

Lorena B ‘Mare‘ by Luca Helios

Due to the appealing power of her personality — and also to the fact that I’ve critiqued so many of her offerings — sitting down to view Spanish beauty Lorena B in her latest pictorial feels like a welcome reunion with a cherished friend. This model exudes a natural warmth and charm that I find simply irresistible.

Like the another Luca Helios photo set I recently commented on, this one takes place on a scenic stretch of beach, but this time the lensman has his subject positioned in full sunshine, and the difference is dramatic. In “Mare” the rugged beauty of the setting and Lorena B are both fully and naturally illuminated, in a way that, as I mentioned at the time, would have benefited the other seaside series.

Lorena B is a seasoned professional. She is well practiced and confident when she’s in front of the camera. This is both an asset, and to a far lesser degree, a bit of a liability. There are some images in this collection that are a touch too “posey” for my liking. On the other hand, there are dozens of shots that are absolutely spontaneous and sincere, and these captured moments are almost infectiously enjoyable. Have a look at numbers 032, 077, 089, and 092, and see if you don’t agree.

And beautiful, bright, beaming smiles are not the only highlights here. In numbers 058 and 095 we find Lorena B in a somewhat more subdued, slightly mellower mood, and this results in two truly beautiful headshots. And, if I may mention another favorite, I have to single out #076 — I suspect this shot will be employed as a desktop image on countless computers, capturing as it does the natural splendor of the location with the beauty and high spirits of the model. In “Mare” the weather is beautiful, and the water is as warm and inviting as the model.
