Nika Kolosova Topless Paradise (by the Desk Lamp Light)

I've seen paradise by the desk lamp light, and it looks an awful lot like Nika Kolosova topless! I use the music analogy because Nika looks like the magical offspring of a torrid, angsty love affair between Tori Amos and Regina Spektor. In other words, a gift from the music gods above.

When I saw that desk lamp being used to light Nika Kolosova's breasts, that legendary Jim Steinman/Meat Loaf classic just rang in my head because I knew that I had seen paradise at last. Perhaps I was having a stroke, too, it sounds like very similar circumstances, but I'll get that looked at later. I've got other things to do right now, like imagining Nika Kolosova naked, straddling a piano bench like Tori, and singing Regina's song "Ne Me Quitte Pas." I've lost my train of thought once again. Nika's naked body does strange things to a man.

If I have any complaint at all to register, it's the lack of lighting on this shoot. If I were faced with having to photograph Nika Kolosova naked, I would hit her with as much light as I could. I suppose it's a testament to just how radiant Nika is when nude... She literally lights up the place.
