That's an excellent result, and (in my opinion) a big improvement! Very nicely done

Thanks. Little by little. Hopefully, I'll be able to address more of this as I am shooting so I don't have to fix it in post. I'd rather the photos be as true as possible out of camera.

Hello
I do not know how to express myself well in English.
Beware of makeup, there are too many areas of brilliance. On the second image, the turned face causes too many wrinkles on the neck.
More in the eyes, appears too much white

Thanks for your critique. I agree about the reflections. Yes, the wrinkles in the neck were inevitable with this pose, but could be changed by having her take a different position. I've done a correction to the reflections that I think are an improvement. But, I may have gone a bit far with it. In any case, here's a corrected version.

It is diffused, but not enough. Thanks for the feedback.

Thanks! I'm pretty happy with them, especially since I had zero experience with taking this type of photograph before this and it was my first attempt at using artificial lighting. Since taking them, I've been playing with Lightroom more and am much more comfortable with the software. Practice, practice...
