But I remember showing this (and your other example of boudoir photography, the larger version of your avatar) to my daughter telling her how much I like your use of light and how fascinated I am with your overall subject. Hi there Corinna - thank you very much for your kind words and nice to be appreciated - I just love working with light in this style and most of the stuff I shoot is monochrome shots for private viewing ( Boudoir shots for WAGs etc - all very respectable of course LOL) but, unfortunately I can't really show or post most of the work I shoot for obvious privacy reasons which is sometimes is a pain but, one has to respect privacy.

The only other modification to the lighting was fill from a small silver reflector on the shadow side to give a slight lift.

I work on the minimalist principle of the least amount of light for the shots I shoot where possible - I often only use a single 40 watt household bulb for the lighting of the subject - It's surprising how little light is needed to get a decent shot and even though I have two sets of four monoblocs plus a load of modifiers, my favourite is still natural or very low light. I've perfected and used the pose and prop so many times since then I've lost count - but it's a firm favourite with the ladies ( and males too)!
