This one light set up used a forty-eight inch, home made soft box, located just to camera right, only about ten degrees of axis to the right of the camera. The soft-box was positioned immediately above the model's head level as a simulation of existing bedroom light. Any additional light would have damaged the mood of the image.
The 35mm camera with an 85mm lens was placed low to help in giving the model the look of being in charge. This glamour-ish image isn't pure glamour, but borders on the erotic. While there is no nudity involved, the suggestion of emanate nudity is certainly there. Rather than being a single glamour photo, this type of image can imply a story. What (who) is the model looking at? Is she just getting our of bed, or is she about to get into bed? Is he thinking of a good night's sleep. or is she about to join someone in bed? This is the type of image which can generate significant sales.
