To: pml1@yahoogroups.com From: Mark Tomlonson Date: Fri, 16 May 2008 03:04:02 -0000 Subject: [PML1] CC: Heather Rene Smith In Heather Smith's centerfold (February 2007) we see some of the elements that can make a Playboy Centerfold the acme of glamour and erotic photography. First up, you need a gorgeous model. In Heather we've got that in spades. Natural breasts can look just like this. Since those are my favorite, I'll tell myself they are. Secondly, in the best of erotica and porn the model should look not only like she wants to be there, but she can't imagine being there without you. The expression on Heather's face is direct and intimate. The photographer, camera and lights aren't really here – it's just me and Heather. Once those two are accounted for the rest is a bonus. As hinted by the vintage valentine on the bed, this pose has been around a long time. Edwardian Era erotica looked a lot like this, especially the Valentine's theme. (Navel ring and landing strip excepted.) Heather's arching back both makes her bustline look great and reminds us of our desire to make her arch her back for another reason. The red tie across the top suggests a man of course, but it also adds a change of pace to the straightforward composition. Photographer: Arny Freytag Scoring: Pin-up: 4.0 Erotic: 4.0 Artistic: 3.0 Overall: 3.8 out of 4.0 (If this were film it would be a 4.0 centerfold) Cyber Club Portfolio Photo I like better than the Centerfold: none, but if she were looking at the camera #6 would make a great centerfold instead of a great picture. I do like the relatively large number of clothed shots in the portfolio. http://cyber.playboy.com/members/playmates/files/2007/02/centerfold-med.html http://cyber.playboy.com/members/playmates/files/2007/02/06-med.html Mark Tomlonson
