Looking good. In #1 & #3 I would move the subject just a bit further away from your backdrop so the pattern there is less noticeable.

I have an incredibly small studio 400 sq ft - so moving away from the backdrop even more is a bit difficult.
The texture you see are done afterwards in photoshop as most of the backdrops are just paper backdrops :)
Thank you so much for the feedback I really appreciate it :)

These are all spectacular! You might crop the final two just a bit tighter would be my only suggestion, it feels like there's a bit of excess of space on the top and sides.

Thank you for your comments - really appreciate the feedback.

Thank you for the comment. I do take photos too with dad and also looking at the camera too-those are normally not my favourite so I only tend to share images-social media etc that I like most- they do tend to be the more pensive images :)

New Lighting position I tried

BurghByrd wrote:

The lighting overall and on the head and shoulders is excellant. I assume the reducing lighting on lower body is intentional to de-emphasize?

I was going for her face and the dramatic dress being the focus :)

Hello Maggie,
Loveley shot. I'm no lighting expert but I do like the effect.

I hope you don't mind a couple technical questions.
The background. Was it a backdrop or added in post. Nice affect.
The lighting itself, did you use PS spotlights? Its very attractive. I'm asking because I have just started experimenting with. re-lightingg images in PS and I'm facanated with the possibilities

I added a texture in photoshop to the background
I used 2 strobe lights for the lighting set up
