Going through downtown Oklahoma City looking for a potential studio, we came upon this lovely, empty house. The lighting was superior and that huge window beckoned. Much to my husband's horror, I simply could not stop myself. Really, it was as though my clothes came off on their own and I was transported to the window without awareness.

These things happen when classic nudes are begging to be made.

Here I am in living color. The next shot is of me in black and white.

I like them both.

    Beautiful!!! I like them both, too, but I love the color outside the window in this one. Beautiful lighting in both, and of course, gorgeous model!

    This photo works great either way Laura. Nice job! Was Jake watching for a realtor while you were cavorting about?

    Thanks for posting both versions, they are both beautiful with a remarkably different "feel"

    Beautiful shot, great balance of light from interior to exterior. Very subtle and very well done.

    Amazing the difference between two identical images in color and B&W. This one clearly works best in color. Your husband must be a saint. Hope the real estate lady was ok after they revived her. ;)

    I love both versions! I tend to lean to the color version as my favorite. The pose, composition, lighting, and you are perfect!
