    I like all the compositions and your model is lovely indeed.
    On #1 I'd like to see the lighting balanced out to eliminate shadows and perhaps a little less contrast. The blacks have no detail.
    #2 and 3 I'd like to see the skin tones toned down a bit, she appears to be orange, especially on #2
    Nice work!

    Thanks, I agree....I actually did tone it down a little and airbrushed it a little as well. She is just really really tan, and the lighting made it appear a little orange. I figured too much editing would look over processed. Thanks for the tips though. I'm still learning about lighting and shadows! =]

    I was wondering if she was super tanned.
    I'm new to strobe work as well and I recently photographed a young lady whose makeup was an off color to the rest of her skin. Quite the challenge to make look decent.
    I'll post some of mine for C&C in another thread.
    What type of lighting are you using?

    Sorry, I'm a newbie. What is strobe work? I use the 3 studio lighting with umbrellas, and fill flash.

    There are two ways that people like to shoot studio work, either with continuous lighting or with strobe (flash) units or both in some cases.

    In the case of strobes the units are triggered either by wireless transmitter or infrared via your camera.

    Continuous lighting lights are always on :-)
