“Men seldom make passes at girls who wear glasses.”
Dorothy Parker

I wonder how many men would agree with Mrs Parker?

I personally think that some women’s features are greatly enhanced by a pair of glasses. Some women, or men for that matter, just look so ‘right’ when wearing glasses.

The use of glasses as an aid to seduction is well known in glamour photography. Many men will no doubt identify with the ‘femme fatale’ letting her hair down whilst giving a knowing look over the top of her glasses.

Here’s a seductive set with Laura, lit very simply with just one studio flash fitted with a shoot-thru umbrella (setup diagram below). The room we were working in wasn’t very large, so not much space for additional lighting.

Thanks for reading.
