I have been really inspired by the works of Alexander Vinogradov recently so decided to do a series of portraits in his style

Alexander Vinogradov is amazing. These are some great photo's. Lovely model, great braids and outfits. To me the photos of Alexander are so amazing because of the "natural" look, his retouching is not noticeable. Your photo's have a stronger retouching, which is fine if thats is the "flawless" look you are going for. If you want to get even closer to Alexander his style, you could consider doing less retouching.
I too would prefer to see her in her real skin.
Nice effort. Rembrandt lighting is very distinctive. However a slight increase is fill light may look nicer which would clip the darks.
Very nice! Very cohesive as a series.
How'd you light it?
