Zara Du Rose
A bit cheeky this Photo of the Day image. Zara was at my studio working for another photographer.
I was setting up lighting. I don’t normally take photos when someone else is hiring the studio and paying for the model, but on this occasion the photographer was brewing up while I did the lights. In the absence of the photographer I tested the lighting as best I could using ‘shirley’ the studio mannequin head, but as Zara’s outfit was latex I really needed to check the lighting with her in place so I could make sure we had the enough reflections to show the shiny latex off to it’s best. Because I am hoping to book Zara for some events at the studio I asked her permission and the photographer’s permission if I could just take a couple of shots while I set the lights this would enable me to confirm the lighting would give the reflections on the latex, and would mean I had some images to promote any events in the future for which I booked Zara.
Three shutter clicks later I had an image of Zara and had confirmed the lighting was spot on for the latex shoot.
You know at times, I hate being accurate with my lighting. If I had got it wrong I could have taken a lot more images of the amazing Zara while I sorted it out! [I am joking BTW]. Hopefully I will be able to book her for an event next year and I will be able to photographer her again.

Wow!
Love the shiny…. think I might have cloned out the zipper ring that’s hanging down…. hmmm :)
I was in two minds about cloning out the zipper tag. Normally I would, but apparently as this particular latex outfit is intended as a fetish outfit and the zipper going all the way underneath is part of the design. I think it is meant to be seen exactly where it is. I decided I wasn’t going to do anything with the pull tag. (!)
I see your point, but I think it looks a bit ‘off’ if you know what I mean. Just my thought….. I’d have lost it….
I can see your reason for leaving it, but I’m with Di on this one :) Fab photo.
