From the little book of beauty secrets. Rael Cohen demonstrates "How to wear a little black dress" -- for maximum effectiveness: over your shoulder.

Now that we're done staring at her butt... The lighting on this was a medium softbox to camera 45 degrees right, and a small softbox aimed at the backdrop. Notice how much crisper the lighting on this shot is, compared to the results that I usually get with my huge octodome!! I was shooting in Olaf's studio and decided that I'd get a little more dramatic with my lights, and went a bit too far. Remember - the size of the light doesn't effect its intensity, but affects the size of the reflection on the subject. Smaller lights like these make smaller, harder reflection-points on the model's skin as well as more-defined edges in the shadows. Also, instead of using a gridded spot to light the backdrop, since I used a softbox, you can see a bit of spill/light on her shadowed side. It's a subtle effect that a lot of photographers use to add depth to the scene by picking up a little bit of the edges of the subject. Normally, that's not how I do it.

Mesmerizing. You have a lot of Rael C pics, does she realize how great her backside is? Your image of her in a maid outfit is my favorite, any more of that set?

Butt!!??! Her legs! The Shoes rock her calves.
Black and white definitely makes this shot. I think the dress is a little short.....
