Hopefully, you're all well this Wednesday. I'm likely on an 8-mile walk in training for my next adventure, one of the UK's National Trails in September. Anything to keep the spirits up after Monday's news…

Anyway, we have gorgeous images to pore over today. These are from one of the handful of shoots Nicole and I had whilst she was still in the UK and studying at uni.

Mix simple low-key lighting, classic, simple clothing, a prop and of course the talents of an expressive Italian model and well, the results are a delight.

Shot on a Nikon D7200 and a Sigma ART 50mm f/1.4 lens. Lighting was my go to, diffused soft box over the model with rim lightimg from a gridded strip soft box to Nicole's left and rear.
