Lighting
It was a beautiful spring day with the sun and a good strong light outside, it was still a little cold so it was decided to shot indoor anyway. In this shot the model is taken in backlight (you can see a window behind the subject), find a well balanced exposure is not simple but thanks of preview on my mirrorless camera and a little help of post-production you can get results like this photo. Pay attention: usually the risk, in this kind of shots, is to find itself with a underexposure result on the side of the model and/or a overexposure in the side of the window, to avoid a bad result you should set your camera (digital or film) in manual mode.
The focus is on the expression face, I deliberately put the body a little bit out of focus because it doesn't want to be a nude photo, my intent is to tell femininity through the gaze. There is no fear, there is no shame she is at ease.
Post-production
I developed the digital negative with Capture One, adjusting lights/shadows and improving contrast and micro-contrast then, with Photoshop, I corrected some small defects (pimples, hair, stuffing, etc.), without altering in any way the physiognomy of the subject. There were no other defects to correct on the scene.
