Initially I wanted to place the model in a creek with lot of water around her. But unfortunately when we arrived we found out that the creek was dried out last summer. So we had to change our plan and so finally this picture was created. Normally the strong sunlight is the "natural enemy" of a photographer who want to shoot art nude outdoor. However, in this particular spot we were lucky because the sun was filtered by the leaves of some trees. So this spectacular "glow" occured on the model's skin. To balance the light I used a portable flashlight with a deep octa-box which was positioned some meters away on the half right side of the model. Just a little light to eliminate hard shadows without erasing the shadow on the rock on which the model sits.
