Veronica on a bed
this pose is the inspiration of the moment. a lamp was hanging just above
Veronica’s head, as you can see by the way the light diminishes. the pose
creates an almost metaphysical connection with the light coming from above.


An unexpected advantage
Water pipes had spoiled the setting where i had intended to shoot, but
i decided to turn the problem into an advantage. at first i tried the shot from the
other side, but shooting against the light gave me this beautifully graphic image.

A simple prop
it’s amazing how one seemingly
insignificant prop can form the basis
for a whole variety of pictures. this
little table was sitting unnoticed in
the corner of the room until my model
began to pose with it. soon she was
dancing and moving around on her
mini stage and i got a nice set of
sensual images.
