Except for numbers 2,3, and 4, which don't work for me, the rest are very good are very good
I don't like the low perspective of 2,3,4 and 7.

I loved 5 ,I like how the hair is highlighted, I dont care for 2, though she's coming down the steps, it seems like her hip is out or? Im not sure, not bad, I just like the others better.
the last one I would have loved to have her look at me, to connect with me, but its obvious you wanted her to NOT look at me. I dont blame you, women usually scream and run when they look at me.
I she her as a natural beauty and loved all the picture's. I hope you post more in the future.
#5 did it for me. The teasing nipple in half open shirt. Just a little light on the face and the smile of a temptress would hook me.
Well done.
Thanks for the post. She is a long-legged one, emphasized more by the shoes & low angles. Shots from the 70's or just look that way, since missing one of the lots of "hairs"? (smile)
I especially like the backlit one with shirt & shorts, not as crazy about first & last due to starkness.
watch out for your reflection in the shots... (see pic #3)

I don't know why I feel moved to comment now rather than 2 years ago when these were posted, but here goes:
#1: a good shot, but a reflector on her left side would have reduced the degree of shadowing and would have made her stand out more.
#2: not a great photo. This does not look like a posed shot, but rather like an opportunistic snapshot on her way to the shoot. If she were looking at the camera it would take my attention off of her crotch.
#3: Clearly a posed shot, but I don't like the left leg position. Legs closer together, and left leg pointing slightly out would have worked better. And, of course, watch out of the flash reflections.
#4: Not bad, but it would have been better had she been slightly to her right, or if you had moved slightly to her left, so that both candles could be included while eliminating the vertical wood elements at the photo/right.
#5: This is a really good shot, but too dark. The highlights on the hair are wonderful, but her face needs to glow a bit more, so more fill flash required. The nipple peeking out of the shirt is really great.
#6: This is the best portrait, but it would have been good to crop a bit lower to include the entire breast and more of the wrap. I also don't care for the shadow to her left, so more light on the background would help.
#7: Much too dark. The model needs to stand out, not the lamps. And with more light on her face my attention would again be drawn there as opposed to the crotch.
#8: This would have been really good if there were no shadows and if there were no "thing" growing out of her head. I like the low angle, the pose and pensive expression, and the one breast covered by lovely long hair.
So my overall assessment of the series suggests the photographer is not too experienced in posing or lighting or working with nudes, all of which I suspect is not true. I just have to conclude that this is not the photographer's best work.
it's art so whatever works for you....my reaction was that the first one was awkward coming down the stairs seeming to lead with her vagina. most of the rest were for my tastes just a little too frank. The ones I did like were where hints of her sexuality escaped from the shirt, etc. It's a matter of preferred style and these struck me as too much frankness, too little style in the composition. The woman is attractive and the light is fine and all that but it was more of an inventory on the total nude shots than art. Just my two cents worth...and your style works for you then it is valid for you. Less so for me and we each might be right.
I like them all … they are real in portraying the model. Post processing could make then even better but nice job.
WOW, nice house. The model is nice too. My vote is #5 with some soft lighting on her face.

Lighting is everything and these images are all over the place with flash shadows and flat light. Beautiful model though.
