Playboy Gallery: Irini
April, 1998
''I love the composition of this picture,'' says photographer Guido Argentini. ''It reminds me of a beautiful moment in my life.'' He is referring to 1995, when he met the model, Irini, in Miami Beach. ''She is from Russia, and a fantastic pianist. She performed Rachmaninoff's Concerto No. 2--one of my favorites--in St. Petersburg when she was just 16.'' Guido plans to include this image in his forthcoming book. We can understand why: It has us bent out of shape too.
