This is probably my 2nd portrait shoot, let me know what you guys think. It was getting dark on me fast and probably only had an hour in total with this model.

I like the shots. She seems inclined to cock her head at an odd angle though.

Nice tones, nice compostion, and beautiful model! I agree about the angle of her head in almost all fo them though- seems pretty extreme; especially in #3.

did you apply a lot of skin smoothing or does she naturally lack creases/lines on her face? #2 shows the smile lines a lot, but the others don't when she's not smiling.

There are some people who when being photographed, will ALWAYS tilt their head to one side, or more commonly, tilt their head back. Always. Tilting to the side is not a deal breaker for female subjects at least, it can look "flirty" or "coquettish", whatever. Tilting the head BACK even slightly, is a deal breaker for me though. Why? Because we end up seeing more of the nostrils than we should, and more importantly, the eyes don't open as wide as they should. Even a slight amount of tilting the head back will cause those things to happen, so watch for it. I see it here in every photo.

Having said that, I think the poses are good. I might have removed her shoes in the laying down shots, but you had the feet placed in a good spot, not growing out of her head. I love the shallow depth of field, the light is even on her face, her expressions are natural. I think you did a great job with these, they really do look terrific.

Is it just me or does it appear that her neck has a completely different skin texture than her face? If you're going to smooth it, smooth all of it :P
