Cigar Smoking Lady

I was asked to shoot a local cigar tasting for a friend of mine who has owned her own tobacco, cigar and pipe shop for over 30 years - it's tough work as there is so much smoke. After the shoot. I literally have to scrub my camera and lens.

This lovely lady posed for me and confessed she really loves a good cigar. We agreed that I would add an "artistic" treatment to the portrait so she isn't too identifiable. I have no problem with that.

Now, I have to send all my clothes to the cleaners!
