And a very lovely young lady as well!

As usual, these are stunning images. I especially like #4 though I think it might be even stronger had the wrap been on the near shoulder and uncovering the far shoulder - maybe?

Unless you are wanting to show the wrinkles of your background in the photos, you may want to consider putting a bit more distance between your model and the background. This would allow light falloff to turn that background a deeper and richer shade of gray/black.

I love the choice of the wrap in the last three. The color so well brings out her eyes and hair - like magic.

Oh, Scott!
I'd like to, but my room (studio is not the right word for it) is too small :-(

Great shots, Yuri! I enjoy piano music. I wish I could learn, but I have no way of doing so, (no piano classes around here and no room in the house for me to have one to teach myself). Maybe someday.

Piano, photography, and hi-fi home audio... my favorite hobbies. Best pianos to me are Bösendorfer, Fazioli, and Steinway. It takes seven years to get a Bösendorfer once one is ordered.May as well buy a used one.

Yuri, great imagery. I did notice that some of them look a bit under exposed, so I took the liberty of pulling it and adjusting the lighting, eyes, and hair. Just some food for thought. Sorry it took so long to get back to you. Thanks for Sharing.
