This is an attempt to reproduce someone some shots that appeared in Esquire magazine September 2009. That is trying to get the lighting down. Not trying to reproduce the 'sexiness' of the models (this model happens to be me so be kind). Anyways my interest was in the light and mood of the shot and I am looking for any type of feedback - good and bad. Here is a link to some of the original shots from the magazine:
