I believe this is the best photo you've taken of your wife. As much as I love your glamour photography of the lovely miss Sharon, I find this to be the most beautiful and sensitive. Something about it captures her beauty in ways the nudes cannot. By the way, I was surfing your gallery and the shot you sold at the Valentine's exihibit is extraordinary. THAT has to be the most sensual of your images.

Hi Jim,

Thanks.

Sharon wasn't wearing any makeup at all in this photo. This wasn't even a planned shot really. We were at my nephew's house shooting some maternity photos of his girlfriend when it was suggested to take a shot of Sharon at this location.

The lighting is pure, even, available light from the window to her left. It is much different than my other studio work because with the cramped home studio I use, it is hard to get even lighting from head to toe. (can't get the lights far enough away to get even coverage).

Hhahaah... Roger I wish. I will be getting a new toy next month. The 30D is looking better and netter to me.

Hey Ray, congrats. Looks like someone purchased a new toy. Looking forward to see what Sharon looks like with that. Or are you borrowing her new toy?
