The aim was to create soft but high-contrast but soft lighting that would emphasize Anya's charms both on herself and in the mirror, leaving the background in shadow.
The first picture shows the "normal" lighting with a light in the back, which should be reflected from the front, and a second light from the front. Here, both flashes are still set to roughly the same intensity, so that although you can see everything, there is no tension or contrast in the picture, which is why it looks like a boring snapshot.
In the second and third pictures, I increasingly reduced the light in the back (which also illuminated the background). The contrast with the now darker background already creates a much nicer mood. But Anya is far too dark in the mirror.
In the following pictures I have therefore moved the light from the front side a little more to the left so that Anya is illuminated more directly from the front and her beautiful pussy and thick fur are also visible without the focus being too much on these attractive details.
In image 7, the image in the mirror is actually good, but the white frame of the mirror is lit far too directly and outshines the entire image in its whiteness. In addition, her left thigh, her knee and her feet are too bright after I aimed the spotlight directly between her legs from the side.
In the eighth picture, the lighting on Anya and on the frame of the mirror is right and the mood is nice and juicy, but her lovely pussy now disappears in the dark, which would really be too bad when she is already showing herself so lustfully open :-) There is also a deep, hard shadow under her round, youthful breast, which disturbs me.
By moving the front flash a little further to the left, so that the light falls even more frontally on her front, I have finally found the setting that fulfills my intentions.
Time for a little (cigarette) break before we start the session...
