light. The angle and lack of fill light put her near side in shadow, giving us
the beautiful semi-silhouette.
Red Satin. There’s something really sexy about a woman in red. Look-
ing at Morgan’s image (bottom), I’m sure you’ll agree. The set is really quite
simple. We started out with a black seamless background, gelled red with
just a puff of smoke for texture. Under Morgan is a large red satin sheet. We
used the radio as a prop because of her job, and selected this pose because
she is known for her great legs. We added the blinds for the voyeuristic, teas-
ing effect they create. Morgan was lit with a large softbox to camera left and
a large strip light directly above and slightly behind her. This was angled
slightly ahead to put a subtle highlight on her body.In this type of image, it’s important to pose the
subject’s legs so you can see light between her
knees. Otherwise, they will form a solid mass
and look heavy.
I created this image of Morgan, a sexy morn-
ing DJ, for a local “Women of Radio” charity
fundraising calendar. The committee rejected
her bare breasts as too hot for the calendar,
but Morgan and I love it. In fact, we sent it to
Playboyon pure speculation.
