portraits: nude taken during a cigarette-pause in shooting ...

I like pictures of women smoking. Smoking imparts a sense of elegance and sophistication. I know. I know. It is a dirty, unhealthy and expensive habit. But damn! It produces some great pictures.

I recently gave up smoking cigarettes. Nevertheless, I had to include in several recent shoots cigarette smoking since my models wanted these pictures.

This is one of the best smoking pictures I have seen. The faint white smoke drifting upwards from your model's cigarette make this a wonderful image.

Thank you Carney.  The young lady smokes, but who are we to judge ...

that said, I often use cigarettes and a wine glass to emulate the feeling of the fifties, Humphrey Bogart, Lauren Bacall style atmosphere  .. : -)

Ah, the 1950s.

The last full flowering of elegance before the tidal onrush of "be yourself."

This is reminiscent of scenes from various Bogart movies. Kudos to you both.
