April 1994. Unpublished.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"lead\"\u003eAn unpublished image from Becky DeLossantos's April 1994 Playmate session, The Player turns the body into pure composition: sun, sand, tanned skin, suede fringe, and a crop so tight that the face disappears entirely.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003ePhotographed by Arny Freytag, one of Playboy's most prolific and exacting contributors, the image comes from a location shoot in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. Freytag brought a fine-art eye to the magazine's glamour language, treating the body not only as subject, but as line, shape, rhythm, and design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eFreytag described the logic of this kind of image plainly:\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cblockquote class=\"pullquote\"\u003eI don't think you always need to see a face. It is sometimes more sexy. It becomes more intimate for the viewer if they can't.\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eIn The Player, the frame closes in on sand-dusted skin and a fringed suede garment, with the model's hands resting near the waist and the surrounding body cropped into a study of warmth and texture. The image is direct but carefully composed, intimate without becoming portraiture, its anonymity part of its charge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003ePhotographed by Freytag, modeled by DeLossantos, and preserved within the Playboy Legacy Collection, the work is part of the forty-eight-print archival edition released for Playboy's 50th anniversary.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003ch3\u003eCollection Note\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eThe Playboy Legacy Collection was released in 2007 for the magazine's 50th anniversary as a forty-eight-print archival edition curated under the direction of Hugh Hefner.
