Stunning model photographed in a way that certainly captures her appeal. I like #8 the best here. I like the bold color palette (without all the backlighting of the earlier pics). You show off the beauty of her eyes to full effect. While I feel the shallow dof detracts from #6, I think the dof is handled perfectly here. I love the clarity in her face and the blur just softens her lower half in a natural way.
One of the things I struggle with the most in portraiture of women is flyaway hair. The first thing I noticed in your first two photos was the model's hair. I'm not criticizing in any way these photos; in fact I like them a lot (along with the all the rest). But it does raise in me the question I struggle with: what is your philosophy in dealing with flyaway hair? Do you always ignore it? Or do you try to manage it in some way, either before the shoot, in camera, or in post? Any insights would be welcome.
Love the photos. Great model with interesting poses.
But, a hair and MUA would go a long way to taking these to the next level. Her hair, in particular is quite distracting in several of these. Her lipstick is also poorly applied.

You did a fine job with the photos. Her hairstyle is not flattering and the red lipstick is over-done. Consequently, the best shot is the last one where both those elements are natural.
Steve Wylie, mitchel674 , You know, I really like flying hair on photo. It's something alive - to show the beauty of a woman enjoying the sun. Perhaps, without a strong styling - because it's live street photos, not fashion photos for the magazine. That day there was a strong wind and a slightly drunken mood for me and a model, but I thought that since we are slightly careless, why can's we leave it as it is. I agree about the accuracy of the model hair - it's really important. But, perhaps, having paid too much attention to the details of the hair, I would have lost something naruralt that I felt this moment Thanks for the opinion and for the interest in the work) Any criticism is very important for my work)
