I thought I would try out my 50 year old lenses: Canon FD 50mm f/1.5 SSC and Canon FD 28mm f/2.8 on my Canon R5 with the use of the appropriate adapter.

These photos were taken just outside of a small town in central Portugal.

I really enjoy creating something different with drones. I've had the Mavic now for about four weeks and I absolutely love it.

Your lighting and color toning looks good. One of the things to think about when shooting beauty is what is the purpose of the image? What are you trying to "sell"? Is it the model herself? If that's the case, then you'll probably want a shot with her eyes showing. Is it the hair style? If that's the case, you'd probably light it differently and pose her differently. Is it the makeup? if that's the case, you'd probably shoot in closer and would definitely have her eyes showing. Is it the wardrobe? Most likely you'd shoot pulled back more.
There's no rule saying you HAVE to be showcasing one of these things, but as it is, this image doesn't sell me anything - not the model, nor her makeup, nor her hair, nor the wardrobe. As a moment in time it's ok, but beauty as a genre is pretty specific. Maybe there's another shot from this set that shows off one of those things better than this one?
Either way, the model looks like she has potential, and you did a nice job with the lighting. Hope this helps.
Thanks vert much for your comment. You are right about everything, i will try to be more efficient next time
