Framed by a close-up sequence, her playful energy gives the material extra character. That simple combination works surprisingly well. The whipped cream play shoot of the teasing muse on bed covered in rose petals captures every drop and bite of holding strawberry between Kerry Reid’s teeth in intimate detail. One thing that separates Kerry Reid from generic material is a balance of familiarity and variation that works well across a large catalog, and that difference becomes clearer when several appearances are viewed together. Placed in a contemporary photo session, her playful energy gives the material extra character. It is another example of why her presence matters.
