Rebecca C ‘Deseo‘ by Ingret
I have always thought Rebecca C was stunning. Now, I get to enjoy her once more, this time in an entirely different setting, and shot by a different artist.
The earlier set was shot outdoors, in a particularly scenic lakeside location. Here Ingret places Rebecca in an elaborately decorated sitting room. The model is only partially dressed as the series opens — she’s not wearing panties, but she is wearing old fashioned sheer hose, garters, a cream colored bustier trimmed in lace, and a chunky turquoise necklace. Although I’ve learned to ignore it, I’ve never been a fan of the bulky and/or brightly colored costume jewelry many MetArt photographers employ to give their work a bit of color. Here the color and style of the necklace is at odds with the luxurious but old fashioned style of the room. I consider it something of a distraction, but Rebecca C boasts numerous distractions of her own, so that’s where I put my full attention.
Because she’s bottomless from the beginning, and not at all reticent about revealing herself, “Deseo” includes many detailed, intimate views. One of my favorite of these images is #013. This is a close shot of Rebecca’s thighs and backside as she lounges on a green leather sofa. Her stocking-encased feet, slightly out of focus, occupy the foreground and the sheen of her nylons is nicely contrasted with the soft warmth of her skin — there’s an “old time” quality to the shot that is difficult to describe, but which I quite enjoy.
She may well be responding to her formal surroundings, but I find some of Rebecca’s posing her to be a bit over-styled. In a more spontaneous stance, in #045, she fits perfectly in the setting and allows Ingret to create one of the finer compositions in the collection. Another highlight, with the emphasis on “light,” occurs in #079 when Rebecca C tilts her head just so and regards the lens with those gleaming blue eyes. I’d hate to wait two more years to see more of that.
