Very professional feel. Perhaps that hand obscures a bit too much face, but that's being very picky. I couldn't do this sort of thing.
Best wishes,

Andrew

I really like that, but agree with Andrew about the hand!

Stuart, I like the pose and the eye contact is very nice, but have to agree with the other two points about the hand, but this is being picky and regardless the image works well and i am sure she and you like the image, which is the important bit.

A lovely young lady, well lit and posed.

Stewart, I know paste-on fingernails are popular, but they can be a problem in a shot like this and look claw-like. Her right hand in this particular instance.

Hope to see more from this shoot?

A lovely model but I have to agree with the others , the hand does look a little like a claw with the nails, I have done some shots like this and always tried to cover the nails up, I know they are popular.
Saying all that she is very beautiful and the lighting is superb

I'm fairly new to studio model shooting. So all these comments are very useful, thank you. Got to say I would never have thought about the nails... Cheers. I'm having another shoot with Jazz in a few weeks. So hopefully I'l then try and correct some of my mistakes....

Stunning model and portrait. Have to agree about the nails though, the hand on the face adds the thoughtful look IMO

I know nothing about studio shots preferring natural light portraits, but this is lovely especially as you're new to it, well done.
