Vicky Laursen in and out (Patreon)

These images are from 2014, where I was still finding out what I wanted to do when shooting nudes. At the time, Vicky was a well-published glamour model, and we agreed to split the set between a location part and a studio part and keep things implied.

I think the first image brilliantly illustrates that clothing can and often will make pictures sexy. Compare the first and sect image, and you know what I mean.

That aside, The background is just two large pieces plywood having been painted with a sponge to create an uneven surface, and then joined in a corner with a clamp. This is an easy way to create an environment as it gives dimension as opposed to a flat surface background.

Lighting is ambient daylight in the studio covered a bit from the left side to create a slight sidelight without too many shadows. I wanted soft light on the model's booty.

If you look at the last BTS image and compare it with the retouched real image in B&W, you should quickly see the value of understanding retouching (although I slightly overdid it on some photos back then). If you want to improve your retouch skill, look at my (right now discounted) retouch course. In just over 12 hours, you will learn everything you need to make excellent model retouching.
