Shruti Booty (Patreon)

I do have an affinity for darker-skinned models.

Light reacts differently with darker skin, creating a different dispersion of the highlights that makes the body appear more round.

I had Shruti apply some (massage) oil to amplify the reflections and, by extension, make the shadows deeper.

Reflective “objects” always have a larger apparent contrast, which is why oil helps.

Following yesterday's post, oil makes the highlights reflect more light (A mirror reflects more than a piece of paper), allowing you to stop the camera and expose it darker.

Which again gives you even darker shadows.
