I haven't been doing many studio or location shoots lately since summer is underwater season for me. But it was unseasonably cool at the time we shot these. So, the water was too cold anyway.
Some of these might be pretty risqué compared to my typical images. Aside from the spiderman costume, I wasn't aware ahead of time what her wardrobe would consist of. As usual, I was trying to achieve a wide variety of looks in the shortest amount of time. CC always welcome.
Each one is very nice but the overall variety of image you took makes for a stunning collection. Probably looks great on your website where one might linger in a slideshow format (if you have such a thing). #3 and #4 are complete and pretty close to perfection, in my eyes. I like her central position among the complementary columns with her curves offering a contrasting asymmetry to the shot. She seems to be trying to maintain the slight covering of the blue garment with her twisted foot which is a nice touch (keeping the set not completely naughty). I just like the Spiderman motif in #4 which is a nice marriage of concept, model, and execution (that is a three way marriage).

Thanks for your in depth critique, which is appreciated.

Great shots. The lighting on these is phenomenal. It also doesn't hurt to have an attractive model.
May I ask, what lens was used for #1? That bokeh is dreamy.
Thank you. I used a 70-200/2.8 at 2.8 for that shot, taken at 200 mm. Typically I'd use a 200/2.0 in such a setting and I won't comment as to why it wasn't used in this case. But the 2.8 still sufficed.
A flash was used in a 48" octobox at a very low setting.
