Here are a few recent shots from my studio set-up. It's all in a very small room, but I think i'm starting to get better at making it work.

This last one is shot really wide. 17mm I think which obviously makes her look abit warped/short but I think it kinda suits the fun vibe of the pose and the outfit.

C&C appreciated. Thanks for looking.

The first is my favourite of the set for a small room your doing a good job of creating a feeling of space.

#2 looks like you've gone for a destat feel, but the lighting feels a little flat, I think processing this a little differently might make this image pop a little more

#3 not so keen on the pose, I don't mind her of camera state, but the lifting of the skirt doesn't feel right

#4 this ones interesting, I think the wide angle does help, but skewed feet is a bit distracting.

First two for me.

The first one is great use of one light and the pose is very peaceful mixed with a bit of repressed mischief.

The second one makes lovely use of two lights, but as Craig mentioned the desaturated outcome has made the image lose a bit of contrast. I think a further tweak of the curves or levels should bring that up nicely. Maybe even consider a very hard contrast where the grey background becomes black, however the model's hair will probably end up being lost in the bkg. If you can reshoot, consider a third light snooted as a hairlight to seperate her hair from the dark background.

The third would look better if she actually had a dress where the skirt would flow better from her moving and lifting it. Right now, it sort of makes her look like she's not comfortable and not really wanting to lift the short skirt.

Not keen on the last one - pose wise is good as a fun pose but her expression once again has let you down. If you can reshoot, get her more comfortable and get her facial expressions to complement the poses to emphasise on the style you are going for. If it's going to be fun, a smile, a cheeky grin, a poke of the tongue, etc adds to it rather than a grim I don't really want to be here expression.

#1 is my pick, love the pose and the lighting. Just a great image.

#2 I think you have also done well, while not my style you've achieved a definite look that I think would work in a number of applications

#3 I find the pose unsettling, the looks like she's in the process of squatting.

#4 is interesting with the distortion you mentioned. I think with that pose and outfit it works pretty well, it's adds to the overall quirky feel of the shot.

Thanks for sharing!
