Nicely done and a very lovely model. These exemplify the power of a single light source, beautiful.

I would like to see a bit more iris definition on shots #3 & #4, love the B&W toning.

1 and 4 resonate me the most.

She absolutely radiates with the mono treatment!!

I agree about more tonality in the eyes - from #1 they seem very pretty.

All very dramatic lighting shots. For #3 the focus is so sharp that the model's skin pores show. Maybe you could soften that?

Beautiful model and lighting!

She needs to be instructed on hand position, though. For some (2) and (4), but in (1) and (3) looks very awkward and forced.

Even in (4) which is epic, I *so* wish her nails were done because it would take this nice image to a whole 'nother level.

Thank you for the comments JBPhotog and beavens. I will try to enhance the iris in PP.

Thank you dalite! I will try to soften a bit. I think I tried to soften too much and reverted it back to this level.

In the photos #2 and 3# with her head turned, you can see different focus on each eye. Shooting at a smaller aperture would help (unless you deliberately wanted that) - the backgrounds so dark I don't think bringing it a little more in focus would hurt.

Very nice!

They are all nice, but the last is my favorite! I would have liked to see just a hint of a rim light to separate the shadow side of the face from the background. Knowing internet compression, I'm betting that the original image has more detail and separation than we are seeing.

Thank you. Yes, I wanted to focus only on one eye - In fact, I was missing my 1.4 lens and had to shoot with 2.8!

i see what you are attempting. i would have used a set of barn doors or a customized snoot to highlight the eyes. often i will make a snoot out off black foil and shape it very thin with strims to achieve an eye highlighter. just saying.....

by the way nice set.

no, i won't show a before or after shot. however, you can research the topic of light modifiers, barn doors and snoots in particular. oh, don't forget to look at grids as well. after you have educated one's self in the use of of light modification applicable to studio portraiture and invoke your imagination, the statement should become obvious in your mind's eye.
