Night A ‘Mojo‘ by Rylsky
The subject of this Met Art erotic photo gallery wears a black, lace-up alligator leather corset for much of the series. And she also spends a good deal of time posing on furnishings upholstered in a copper colored alligator. But the exotic nature and rich patterns of those dramatic natural materials isn’t the skin I refer to in the title of this post. No, the skin that is one of the outstanding attractions of “Mojo” belongs to the model. Night A’s creamy, virtually flawless complexion is lighted to perfection and photographed with such skill and finesse that it seems to emit its own glow, and fairly begs to be touched.
But, even if one could reach into these images and stroke that seemingly soft skin, caution might be advised. Night A exhibits a lot of personality in these pictures, but isn’t what one would describe as sunny, warm, or particularly friendly. Although the first line of her bio finds her declaring “I am cheerful…” I find her personality much more complex. Indeed, for a “cheerful” girl, Night A barely cracks a smile in “Mojo,” and even in those couple of photos the smile is subtle, restrained (see #098 for an example). This is no bubbly, giddy girl — Night A is a thoughtful, moody, sophisticated, and somewhat mysterious young woman. An acquired taste, perhaps, but those dark eyes tell many tales, and I have no doubt they are well worth discovering.
As I mentioned, Rylsky has done an exceptional job in lighting and photographing Night A. In #021, an explicit rear view, the skin of her derrière glows with soft warmth while the dusky bits beckon from the shadows. Explicit shots are plentiful, and in many of these brazen poses Night A seems to be issuing a challenge. This isn’t a flip or casual offering — Night A may be saying “If you like what you see I’m going to make you work at getting it!” And yet, after examining the entire series, I have absolutely no doubt that effort would be well worth the rewards!
Among my favorite shots in “Mojo” are the following: in #025, seated, legs spread, and with plenty of enigmatic attitude on that inscrutable face; #031, among the most stylish and “prettiest” headshots in the collection, again with attitude; #071, #072, and #073, clever “graphic” headshots with Night’s face overlain with the laces of her corset; and #106, a lovely figure study that captures that supple, creamy, flawless skin she’s in with graceful style.
