    Nice. I particularly like #1. You got some beautiful shaping to her face with such a simple setup. I think her arm is too bright though. I know you were trying to feature her tat, but it's still too bright IMO. I also wish the light had been positioned just a bit higher. The shadow from her nose seems to be angling up.

    +1 And, I would have you look at her hand in number one...be careful when you hide part of a hand. In number one, it looks like she has a lobster claw for a hand.
    Remember, no one may want you to take pictures, but they all want to see them.

    Very pretty young lady, the light looks nice.
    These are nice portraits, as mentioned the light is to low.
    Think of your light source as the sun and try to have the main light come from a "sunlike" angle, generally.

    Always tell them to "fake touch" and show an example by smashing your own face into your hand. Barely touching to give the illusion of resting your head photographs better with most people with that area of the face. For women that don't get it just have them slide that hand back behind the jaw and under the ear
