Mistress Have Mercy

I recently spent a couple of days with Wiana and The Endless Sinner in a spectacularly refurbished water tower, and as you will see ahead, the shoots turned smoking hot during our time there.

I mostly shoot nudes, but on this occasion, the girls got to play with a lot of accessories, leading to some steaming hot, and slightly more kinky images.

And I can safely say: You ain’t seen nothing yet!

Let me interject with a question:
Do you like this kind of image with accessories? I guess it makes them more sexy, less artsy, or timeless.

The light here is a medium-sized (ø105 cm) Balcar matte silver umbrella.

Then, using Select Background in Lightroom, I darkened the background and dampened the light on the left to create more focus on the models.
I then did it again in Photoshop Select background) to be able to refine the mask in areas that were not perfect, and did a little healing and cloning of texture in the regions gone wrong.

In retrospect, I should have stuck to Photoshop, as the Lightroom masks are often not good enough. It also annoys me that it's impossible to export the masks from Lightroom into Photoshop, or clean them up with proper tools.

This is the original in Lightroom.
That's not bad, but it's a bit light on the shoulder on the left, and the models could stand out more from the background.
