Thanks in advance!! (Oh and I'm aware of the bangle, its been bothering me ever since I finished the image....grr Hindsight sucks)

I am drawn to her left hand / pinky finger is so bright. Her eyes are looking too far off to her left. Would like to see them looking more at ME, I mean the camera.

Thanks for the input. I will focus more on the other images where she is looking towards the camera, and my softbox was closest to her finger so I will try to lower the exposure a bit on that side

I think this is one of the best five you have on the site. There are three very good B&W ones, and another two color ones that are all about equally good. In my honest opinion, as a guy, and a photographer, I think there are some 2013-year stuff that is bringing the portfolio down, mostly for what looks like realllllly heavy,heavy noise reduction and offbeat processing. The first two images are more or less dupes.

I would say you've become better since 2013, and I would not show the above images.

Would be much more impactful if she was looking at the camera. The eyes are what sell "sexy".

Not necessarily. Psychologically, when a person in a photo does NOT make eye contact with the camera, the viewer feels free to look intently at the subject of the photo free of guilt...NOT making eye contact with the camera/viewer brings a voyeuristic/observer point of view into the equation, and that's why the top glamour shooters at Playboy,etc.. have mixed it up, for decades now....some shots with eye contact, others with a line of gaze that focuses on something else within the scene, or even outside the scene...

I hear what you are saying but I think the playing with hair looking coy shot only works with eye contact. Other poses certainly work with no eye contact.

Well, for me, her not looking at me makes my eyes go to the cleavage, over and over and over...and then I wanter to the high heels and crossed ankles seen against the window's curtains... and that French maid outfit...and I just kinda don't look at the hair-playing, or anything else except how bosomy this gal is... My Lord, we men are such primitive creatures...I fear I've objectified this young lady...

I agree that this particular pose and facial expression requires eye contact with the camera. Her right hand is awkwardly slack and she's staring directly at the tip of her hair. She doesn't look like she's coyly playing with a lock of hair; she looks like she's checking for split ends while waiting for you to set up the 'real' shot.

This. Exactly. There is definitely no need to always have the model looking at the camera, especially for boudoir, HOWEVER, if she's not looking at the viewer, then, the reason she's not should make sense. In this case it doesn't. You have a great model, but this image doesn't do her justice.

One of her looking at camera
I personally like the one where she is looking away more.
She didn't open up to the camera as much as I hoped.

 

[tirediron]

Hmmm... tough call. Her expression in this one isn't as nice, but the eye contact is. As an aside, in future you might want to consider reducing the brightness of the light coming in through the drapes in the background. It's not seriously distracting, but it does pull the eye a bit.

hey my 5c worth on the web site, its simple and easy to navigate and the photos load real fast so all good but I felt your opening home page was a little dull with all that great work in behind. I don't have a web site so imagine its tough setting one up but its just didn't grab me on the home page.
