Satin glamour

I know the first thing many of you are going to mention is that this particular photo isn't terribly unique. Nor does it look anything like my usual work. But let me explain: This model (Nikki) was asked by Playboy to submit some shots and so we did up the traditional satin sheet set for a few images. The ones she sends in will be more processed than this (and overworked and airbrushed, in my opinion) but I thought I would share with you all that I am capable of this type of work; I just choose not to do it. Reason #1 is, I hate flash photography. But I used two softboxes and some 1000 watt strobes (soft diffused and reflected off a metallic ceiling) to get the overall lighting effect. (To see the rig I used, plus a picture of me taking this exact photo, check out my deviantID, as taken by ~SpikeyClover.) Anyhow, it is still a good photo, there's just nothing special about it, in my opinion.

Model: Nikki Jaden
