synopsis
In this adult-themed drama, Maria (Brandy Davis) is an aspiring photographer who is engaged to marry Dylan (Danny Pape). While she loves Dylan, Maria has never felt confident in her abilities as a lover, and is afraid to express herself sexually. Feeling she needs to find herself before she can be all she can be as a wife, Maria puts her relationship with Dylan on hold and moves into a small apartment, where she sets up a darkroom and begins to focus her energies on her photography. Maria meets Jakob (Anthony Skordi), a fellow photographer, and discovers he specializes in erotic portraiture of nude women. As Jakob coaches Maria in the finer points of the art of photographer, he begins tutoring her in the art of lovemaking as well.
