Great with that dim light and just a hint of sex/intimacy - Alfred Hitchcock would like this :) I'm not sure if the tattoo disturbs or adds to the story, I think I settle for the last option.

Location
This photo was taken in my basement.Time
It was around 3:00 PM, We almost cancelled the shoot due to snow. I went and picked Ashely up and brought her to and from the shoot.Lighting
I used a strip modifier to whisk the light over Ashley, I wanted the shot to be about shape and shadow.Equipment
I made the photo with a Nikon D810 and AB Einstein.Inspiration
I ordered a box of ties from eBay a year or so ago. I asked Ashley to pick one and put it on.Editing
All post of this shot was done in Light Room.In my camera bag
I usually carry the D810 and a couple of lenses each time I go out. Even when in the studio I try to pick a couple of lenses for the mood I am going for and stick to them. I feel too many people keep switching gear instead of working for the shot that they want to make. The right gear can make a difference, but in my opinion the angle and lighting make the biggest difference.Feedback
For any one attempting something similar, find a beautiful model, hand her a tie and ask her to put it on, and take a picture. The mood of the shoot is created by having the strip modifier almost touching the subject on the opposite side I am shooting from. Whenever I shoot I work my way around the model, this one thing changes the mood of a shoot more than anything else that I know of.
