Another Nettie

Here's another image of Nettie Harris, perhaps the most significant American Nude model since Charis Wilson. 

I've now seen dozens of images of her taken by different photographers, and while I would never ever discount the talent of those photographers, it's clear that Nettie, as the model, brings her own personality, presence, and art to whatever image she is in. In 50 years or so, we'll look back and realize her place in American Photography. 

Consider this image. Only two props: a mirror, a cigarette. It's exquisite. 

This beautiful photo is by NY photographer and model, Rebecca Lawrence.
