It would have been very easy to ask Swarna's friend to put on nail paint and clone out some of the stretch marks but I wanted them to be seen as real life women. I am doubly thankful to both of them as it was indeed difficult/awkward for them to pose considering that they had not even seen each other nude before this... (No guys, they are not lovers :P )
On the technical side - I am not a fan of square crops but someone suggested it would work. The blue tone works for me, the set was lit with 2 lights placed at 3 and 9 O'clock positions
