Presenting Aza by Alex Iskan
I love it when a new model appears in her very first Met Art erotic photo gallery. Of course I also love established models, I have more favourites than I can count, but there’s something special about a girl’s first time. And I imagine that photographers feel the same way. Working with an experienced model, one that you’ve established a rapport with, surely has its virtues and value. But shooting a new girl, for the first time — the thrill of discovery, the untapped potential — must have the same magic for the artist as it does for the audience.
And this particular new model, Aza, doesn’t disappoint! This girl doesn’t need any time to warm up or get in the mood — she displays sultry sizzle from the very first shot, and she proceeds to get hotter and hotter as the series progresses. Whether she’s “fully dressed” in her black bra and panties, or totally nude and explicitly posed, Aza radiates searing sexuality. Self-possessed, sincere, natural, and supremely confident — these are excellent traits in a model, and Aza has them all. And her physical charms are every bit as enticing as her steamy attitude.
Alex Iskan, quite wisely, keeps the set design simple and the execution stylish. A single lamp and a chair, both in shades of cream, stand on a mottled plank floor against a whitewashed brick wall. The lighting imparts a high fashion gloss and Aza provides the rest. The simple treatment results in some truly beautiful images of this worthy and talented subject.
“Presenting” offers range and variety — with rare exceptions Aza is a skilled poser, and Iskan provides headshots, details, figure studies, and enough explicit images to satisfy most appetites. Although her eyes are a major source of Aza’s allure, and they are beautifully captured throughout the set, even when they’re are closed she still exudes erotic heat. An impressive debut and a most welcome addition to the Metart talent pool.
As to the Easter egg I mention in the title. In a single shot — I’ll leave it to sharp-eyed members to find it — Aza is seated in the chair and something that is absent in the remainder of the set is clearly visible. So with “Presenting,” Alex Iskan proves he isn’t just a talented image creator, he’s also quite an adept image editor.
