Just a good black and white print in a darkroom. I ran a cellophane cigarette pack wrapper under the enlarger lens for part of the exposure to partially blur the blacks. That, combined with the shallow depth of field smoothed the skin on the model so no retouching was done.In my camera bag
Canon eos 6D and a selection of fast primes and zooms.Feedback
Make your subject as comfortable as possible. Never ask your talent to look or be sexy. The clothing and the scenario should signal that, and if they are comfortable they'll go in that direction.
