Light and knowledge coming from the book of course :-)

I absolutely love books.

Love them for their content
Love them as objects
Love the smell of old books
Love the smell of new books
Love libraries
Love bookshops
Love to read chicklit
Love to read serious books
Love to own books
...

Mania? passion?

Lighting is a little harsh, but it's a cool effect having it come from the book like that.

Having done this myself recently, I really laughed out loud when I saw this! I wish your model (you?) were a little further into the frame and that the books had a touch more illumination. But, a fun shot as is!

Interesting concept. Reminds me of something I've seen before. If she had turned her body to her right, you'd be able to see the entire book she's holding, and she'd be looking into the frame.
