Sloane lights up whilst “bathing” in the tub. I think my goal was to depict some kind of debauchery – as if she’d fallen into the tub half-clothed at a party?

Of course I have other images out of this session showing smoke, etc., but I do also like this one of her firing up the lighter.
Shot with my twin-rig Mamiya 6, on Fuji RAP Astia film, a half second exposure to capture the lighter’s flame, and a strobe flash to capture everything else:
