My First Lingerie Shoot

[Marko]

I don't think it's a good idea. It might be fun to try after doing this the regular way....but IMO results are too unpredictable with a high potential for disappointment.

I would shoot her using soft soft light. You want her to look sexy and have almost no control with Christmas lights. Weird shadows and casts are very likely so this would NOT be my main light source if this were my shoot. I'd use a softbox, umbrella, or bounced light as the main source.
Hope that helps

Yeah, last night I stuck a teddy bear out by the tree and tried to play with it. I think I need I need to go with the soft light. Probably have to shoot some double exposures though. One with the lights dimmed capturing the lights and then a second shot with her basically so I can merge the lights. I would do slow synch flashes but I don't really like the edges you get sometimes.
