As I chose a room with mostly white interior decor, and as the series would be in black and white, I asked the models to wear the darkest possible lingerie and clothes for the shoot, in order to obtain more contrast. After several calls and E-mails to explain to the models exactly what I wanted to do, we decided to proceed with the shoot. The room was big, and above all, it was high, and the high windows were on the south side. For this shoot I used a studio flash with a softbox. Unfortunately I forgot the wireless receiver for activating this flash at home, so I had to improvise, and used my system flash, mounted on a tripod, as a master to release the big flash with the softbox. This smaller system flash which is normally mounted on the camera was useful to expose parts of the room.
