This image is a homage to one of my favourite painters Jack Vettriano.
It was taken a while ago for a young woman that wanted a sensual portrait. The only problem was that she was very camera shy.
It didn't take long to organise this photo shoot. The pose was arranged to make it appear that she is day dreaming out of the window with the beautiful summer sun pouring in.
This is along the same lines as the "how to look good naked" scenario where women are often looking for a confidence boost but don't know how to pose or even if they dare!
I love the contrasting colours and the warm glow as the sun streams in through the open curtains. I posed her so that her shadow fell in the middle of the sunlight on the floor. Plus I reflected some of the sunlight back towards her to help light up her features from behind. This created the beautiful sheen on her stockings which really enhanced the shape of her legs.
Photo sessions like this make a fantastic present for a husband or wife.
