Actually the only two sessions I did in my short lived studio. Just before the big earthquake that hit Mexico City in 2017. After that and then the pandemic, I’ve never used it again.
I cannot give you professional technical advice, or critique about posing and lighting. That is above my paygrade and there are true professionals here that can provide that type of critique if necessary.
What I can do is give you a gut-reaction from someone who has seen a whole lot of portraits over the years and knows what he likes.
These are good. Very good.
They have a good style to them, and present very honestly. I love the processing. You have given us human beings not mannequins and it comes through.
Even though I *know* they are actors, I don't see "actors". I see people. There is light and life in their eyes-each one with a unique intensity that you have well captured in these images.
Your models come across down to earth and beautiful, without being cliché.

I echo the sentiments above. Not sure what it is but each one of these just grabs me. Maybe the simplicity, the honesty, the humanness, if that makes any sense. I love the structure of these and the subdued confidence in each of the poses and expressions. Nothing overdone. Excellent work.
