Here’s another set of photographs from my last studio shoot with professional glamour model Rachelle. The high heels combine with stockings and suspenders for a sultry mood, aided by Rachelle’s ability to hit just the right note in front of the camera.

The lighting was very simple, just one studio flash fitted with a strip softbox and raised on a boom above and off to one side of the bed. See the lighting diagram below.

Camera settings:
Shutter speed: 1/160
Aperture: f/5.0
ISO: 100

I used a 70-200 f/2.8 lens. In editing I’ve added some slight cross-processing, as I felt it suited the mood.

    Nice work Paul. You’ve created some really lovely soft light here, almost like morning light, with some very natural catchlights in the model’s eyes too. I always loved a simple lighting setup like this. Great job!
