Very nice photo's. Lighting seems pretty good to me.
I like the last one the best. I think she looks better
on a lighter background.

#1 and #2 give a very strong presence.

I had never given thought to differences in lighting
of a person of color. Do they require more or less light
than someone that's white, or brown, or yellow?

Perhaps it's a dumb question. Any thoughts on this?
I want everyone I shoot to look their very best.

correct exposure is the same regardless of color - however you light differently for different tones - light skinned you define by shadows - dark skinned you define by the highlights

Also to highlight the muscles you want to have shadow moving the lights parallel with the subject (all the way back and on the same plane) helps do this

Ok, thank you.

Parallel: So out on both sides of the subject
instead of in front?

thanks everyone for all the feedback... The first couple of shots were done with natural lighting (no Strobes), just the strobe's modeling lights.

And separation is opposite, too. RoT: pale-skinned blondes on dark backgrounds, dark-skinned brunettes on light backgrounds.
