Location
This photo was taken in a home studio. The model was on a day bed near a large window which provided soft light around her.Time
I took the photo early in the morning around 9am. The windows in the studio faced east and the sunlight bathed the apartment in glorious soft light.Lighting
I used the sunlight coming in through the windows and reflecting off the white walls to wrap the model in soft light. I just love white walls for the light opportunities they provideEquipment
This was taken on a Pentax 645Z, hand-held. A large reflector was placed on the camera left to provide some fill light.Inspiration

The key to a great model photo is communication. Talk to the model on what you are after and what look you are aiming for.
