Priviet, dear friends - DGiners.
Sometimes though I talk a lot during photosession its hard to get different emotions on model's face. Like this time...
What to do? Of course - try different postprocessing... and try to prepare (Oh, how?) better for the next time...
This session was with unknown to me girl with worderful Russian name - Aleftina...
We also had only one hour... In spite of all my 'secrets' of talk... :-)

What's your thoughts?
Maybe 'tricks'?
Spasibo,
Yuri

    Yuri,

    The last image is so strong and yet extremely feminine. The beautiful eyes are exaggerated by the strong angle. Her face is very wide so I would normally recommend some kind of short light, maybe even a Rembrandt lighting, but the last image defies all the normal rules and works splendidly.

    Thanks,

    Isn't it amazing what a tilt of the head and drop of the chin can do? I agree with everyone else that #6 is extra special. She seems so determined and almost defiant (esp. #1 and #4). Though the gaze is still very strong in #6, it just changes the message and makes her a little vulnerable and less unreachable. Not sure I'm conveying what I'm seeing here. I think maybe your 'talking' reached her a little by #6!!!
