Get a dozen or so shop lights at home depot.

Get two king sized sheets. Hang one on the wall, the other in the floor. Get her nekkid. Put it on P (stands for professional). Put the camera on high frame rate.

Hold the shutter button.

You should be goods as long as you can see lots of nipple and vag.

I think I read somewhere that you should use ISO 100, f16 and 1/100 shutter. I read this in a nature magazine that said those settings are a good starting point!
