Yasmine A ‘Metaxi‘ by Ron Offlin
Despite her glammed-up hair style and the elaborate and luxurious furnishings of the bedroom she’s presented in, Yasmine A has a girl next door quality with a subtle hint of tomboy flavor. And she projects a teasing, come-and-get it sexuality that is unmistakable. One also gets the sense that this compact little kitten can give as good as she gets, and this quality tints even the tamest images in this MetArt photo series an aura of eroticism.
Photographer Ron Offlin happily occupies the more explicitly erotic end of the stylistic spectrum and working with a model with Yasmine’s attitude and attributes plays directly to his strengths. I might quibble about a certain lack of polish in the presentation of the model, but there’s no doubt that this team generates a good deal of sexual steam over the course of their collaboration.
The set decoration is a bit busy and complicated, however. The burgundy satin sheets of the bed contrast quite nicely with Yasmine’s complexion, but the gaudy black, gold, and white headboard, with its swoopy, demi-deco curves and the varied, complex patterns of the wall treatment create a type of visual chaos that’s difficult to attenuate. Those shots that frame the model solely against the rich, red bedding are among the most harmonious and effective here — see #078 for one exceptional example.
Other interesting images in “Metaxi” include #002, which captures the over-the-top set along with a helping of Yasmine’s attitude; #032, a cute tease shot with emphasis on her ripe, round, rump; and #046, a playful, explicit, and unmistakable invitation.
