Simply Tara
06 August 2020
Tara King greets the camera with a radiant smile beside a weathered wooden door, its peeling paint and aged panels adding rustic charm to a backyard setting. She wears a peach bandeau crop top with delicate frilled edges and glossy black leggings that shimmer in the outdoor light, her feet slipped into clear perspex-heeled sandals. Her long chestnut hair cascades in loose waves well past her waist, catching warm highlights as it moves, and her bright hazel eyes sparkle with a natural sweetness that no amount of styling could manufacture. She settles on the paving stones beneath a broad tree trunk, legs stretched out, the peach fabric riding up just enough to show off her flat stomach, looking every bit the girl next door who just happens to be impossibly photogenic.
The peach bandeau rolls down and Tara slips between two gnarled tree trunks, glancing back over her shoulder with a grin as the fabric gathers at her waist and a pair of dark knickers comes into view. The green metal fence and dappled daylight behind her keep the scene grounded and intimate, miles from a studio but all the better for it. Simply Tara is the perfect title: no elaborate set, no dramatic lighting, just a beautiful young woman peeling away one casual layer at a time. Her arms lift overhead and her small, pert breasts catch the soft light as she leans into the bark of the tree, still smiling, still entirely herself. There is a quiet joy in every frame, and it is impossible not to smile right back.
