| This was my studio - primitive I would guess by today's standards! All the following were created here and were all great sellers. This false window paid for itself a thousand times over! Note the kettle on the floor - used for the steamy effect. The model would kneel on the carpet (or on a cushion if she was short) so that her head appeared in the correct window "pane" |

| Another view... that bit of net curtain and that feather boa earned me literally thousands of $$$. I had a pretty good selection of lingerie on that rack that they could use for free... but I used to sell them the underwear (G strings) because so many of them came wearing great big ugly knickers! |

| Couldn't do this shot with many women... no Photoshop back then! |

|
| What is it about feathers? All women seem to love them! This turkey feather boa was great for hiding a lack of cleavage. White light shone on red paper created a perfect matching pink background. |

|
| Ahh yes, I still have this plastic mirror in my garage and there is a picture of Lynn in the same pose in our bedroom. The important thing here is to hide the edge of the mirror - another good use for the feathers! |

|
| I discovered that presenting this picture in a vertical oval frame boosted sales significantly! The model looks relaxed but is in fact arching her back as much as possible |
|
 |
|
| This "bed" was a sheet of styrofoam resting on 6 pop bottle crates. The headboard just rested against the pillows and it often fell over if the model moved too much! |

|
| I picked this chair up in a garage sale for about $10. It paid for itself a few thousand times! The amount of soft-focus I used back then now makes me wince! |

|
| That white gown in the corner provided separation between the background and dark lingerie and also hid the place where I stored props and equipment |
|
 |
|
| I never had a wide angle lens for my Bronica so for a shot like this I had to perch atop a step ladder with my head pressed up against the ceiling. I found that the angle of the model in the frame (corner to corner) was very important. If she was any more horizontal the viewer of the print would tilt their head to the right. |
