Smoking Model

Thanks for all the replies. This was a portfolio shot for the model, with the theme being the 60. We did a number of 60s style scenes including a murder scene.
We ended the day with the smoking shot, which was not posed. I just asked the model to smoke and feel relaxed, as this was one of the shots I wanted, rather then a shoot the model asked for. Her being a smoker was a big bonus.
The photo has not been cropped and as a result of this image, I have gone on to look out for more images of smokers, models and non models.

The model has a very seventies look ...I would suggest may be worth converting this shot to B&W... see how it goes the smoke drift might add something to atmosphere of shot.
