I love this photo. Thank you for entering it into my Bright and Colorful photo challenge. I have it marked in my favorites to choose winners from. Just a suggestion, since nothing is really showing, I wouldn't mark it as adult content. A lot of people won't look at the adult content photos so they get less votes than they could. But this image, I believe deserves recognition.

Location
I took this photo in my bathroom tub!Time
It was taken in the middle of the day.Lighting
There is a frosted window by the tub and there was not enough coming in so I added one cheap soft box with constant LED lights.Equipment
I was using a Canon 6D with a Sigma 35 mm Art lens. My settings where f/4, 1/160 sec, ISO 400 and holding it manually. A cheap Soft box with constant LED Lights.Inspiration
I just had moved into this house that had a large tub next to a widow and been wanting to shoot in since I moved in. Before, for any water or milk bath I've been using a baby pool outside! The model Angelique Gonzalez is the my go to for new things and I have lots of work with her!Editing
I always do the same work on all my pictures. I take everything in RAW and same a copy to my external hard drive and run them though Lightroom first. There I delete what I do not like, sharpen, fix white balance, crop and make them dark or lighter as needed. I save them all as Tiff files to external drive and then run them though Photoshop. There I will hand color them with actions like Greater Than Gatsby. I will also no mater how good the skin is, I will use Portrait Pro to brighten eyes or in this case change up the makeup to make brighter. After that I may run it though Alien Skin. Then save as a Tiff and a Jpeg.In my camera bag
I have a Canon 6D, 60D, Canon 24-105 mm f/4.0, Canon 85 mm 1.2, Sigma 50 mm 1.4, Sigma 35 mm 1.4, 2 Canon Speedlights 430EX II, Phottix Strato TTL Transmitter and 2 Receivers to use with my Westcott Rapid Box 2 Light Kit with Deflector Plate, Hoodman Loupe and Eneloop pro rechargeable batteries.Feedback
On most of my lighting I was self taught. I add a light source to almost anything I shoot. It was a game changer when I added lights to my work. No matter what kind. The key is to experiment and practice and do so some more. I feel our job is to learn and improve all the time even if you are a pro. All you can do try and learn. Fake it till you make it.
