The arch of her back was exquisite. The stark lighting and her skills as a model were a part of that mystery, but it struck me in that moment that she was a truly beautiful woman.<\/p>\n
I put my mind back into the moment and gently squeezed the shutter release; the strobes popped and started to whine as the re-charge phase kicked in.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou want me to hold this?\u201d<\/p>\n
She was looking back over her shoulder, smiling; I could not remotely understand how she held the pose in the first place, let alone throw me a look without losing her position.<\/p>\n
\u201cYeah, just for one more and then we\u2019ll step it up a notch. These heavy contrast spotlight shots are great for the book, but we\u2019re neither of us going to make any money on them, you know?\u201d<\/p>\n
She winked;<\/p>\n
\u201cDon\u2019t worry, mate. Knees so wide you\u2019d get a car between. I just need to go smoke a fag first.\u201d<\/p>\n
I laid the remote down on the camera and fixed her gaze;<\/p>\n
\u201cYou know that I\u2019m looking for something less brash than that, yeah?\u201d<\/p>\n
Her face softened and the smile came back;<\/p>\n
\u201cDon\u2019t worry, I know. Relax.\u201d<\/p>\n
