I've been working on my photography lately and was asked by a lady to photograph her in just a sheet or towel.  Wanting the experience I said yes and ran over some ideas with her.  She would like to see other's work also so if you have anything please post.  The more ideas, the better the shoot.  Thanks.

I prefer to wear a little bit more than a sheet or towel when photographing.  What will she be wearing??

Y'know, being from Georgia and all... I hope she doesn't mean "wearing a sheet" like this:

Be sure to get her up off the floor with something. A mattress, a box, anything that gives you better access to all her angles. Color choice is important in this sort of thing, too. What is going to be behind the model and how does it mix with her skin and the color of the towel? Are you mixing amber hot lights with blue sunlight? Lots of things to consider.
