Yes, that's pretty much what I said when she first took of her top.

Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken at a private home, a friend provided location as he had a pool available, this photo was towards end of shoot when she was changing.

Time

Photo was taken approximately about 4 PM

Lighting

This is a natural window light shot, mostly I placed a flash facing the opposite wall and angled upwards to strike the wall and bounce towards the front of her area, at 1/8 power just to open up shadows and lower contrast.

Equipment

Shot was taken with a Nikon 300 and a 24/105 f4 zoom lens, a Nikon flash on a small light stand

Inspiration

Towards the end of a outdoor pool shoot, we went inside to see if could find one last location to finish the day, while walking through the master bedroom I saw how the light from large double sliding glass door/wall was coming through illuminating most of the room, but the master bath attached was mostly in shadows except for two small windows that allowed some faint light to come through. You can see the rim light effect this window provided on her breasts just by placing the model in that threshold I thought it would create a striking image.

Editing

Did some very light skin retouching and converted to a light sepia tone image, lastly I added a vignette.

In my camera bag

Currently, depending on the type of shoot I am working on, I will have my medium format Hasselblad H4X with a Phase One digital back an older model {30+) model. Along with a couple of film backs for 120 medium format film photography that work with the Hasselblad. Will add my Canon EOS 1Ds Mark III and an 85mm prime and a 40mm prime for the Canon. At the time I took this image a few years back, I was using a Nikon D300 and just one lens a zoom with a fixed f4 aperture. Now I will add if needed a Godox AD200 , a folding 22" beauty dish and a couple of flashes for rim light or hair light if doing portraiture. Miscellaneous items like batteries for both cameras, SD cards and CF cards, blower for dust removal off lenses, flash meter, and grey card, bracket for both cameras along with a Really Right Stuff head for my tripod.

Feedback

Be open and ready to take advantage of anything that you may come up during a shoot, as in this case this was planned as an outdoor pool shoot, just to add variety and a different location we both went looking for an inside location and happen to come up with this particular lighting scene just from empty house as most everyone was outside. Sometimes the best images are captured after all the planning is done and you have to be flexible and looking for those opportunities.
