New to portrait photography.

Hi
I'm not new to photography, but fairly new to portrait photography and interested continue to work to improve and find creative subjects. There are so many amazing photographers who are a part of FStoppers. I am hoping to learn a lot here. I posted some of my recent photos and would appreciate constructive criticism. Please feel free to share your thoughts.

great image

Seriously this is a beautiful image , I like your multiple fabrics and the models pose - I guess it looks like one
square softbox has been used here, whereas with an overhead rectangular box like a "half-dome" brand - it lights the entire length of a body and tends to rim light each limb making it more 3D .I reckon a light at 90 degrees to the background fabric would lift out the colours and folds and shadows for more texture after you went to all the trouble to put it there. She's so perfectly toned that a more complex lighting setup or editing might show off every nerve and sinew of an amazing body even more. Just thoughts mate, it's awesome.

Thank you Allan! Your right about the lighting. I only had a 2x3 softbox for this shoot. I appreciate your insight and feedback. You are right, had I taken a little more time, the lighting could have been amazing.

Agreed about the beautiful image and fabric. A finely slit GOBO or snoot to put just a little color on the fabric could have been really nice.
