“Why make life harder for yourself?” Claire asked him as she was setting up the lighting for the next shoot. Indeed with a model like her, he could sit back, relax, enjoy her presence, her style, her very beautiful being, body, spirit, smile and all. He held his camera, the tool of his trade. This shoot would be part of their new book, the new, very expensive work. She would co-author this, with a splendid portrait, hers, on the cover.

“There is a market,” she continues, now sitting next to him,”and we are milking it, for all it’s worth. Really, you just have to shoot, I chose the poses, and you write your very clever comments, you know, the sort that makes all readers in the right mood!” We laughed. Indeed the formula worked, every time.
