I had a wonderful shoot with a charming young woman named Maria. She is new to modelling, as I am to photographing models. There will be more to come.

Facial expressions do not invite you into the picture.

I actually like these images quite a lot. The colours are particularly complimentary. If this is how she models early in her career I think she has a great future.

It appears the sun is causing her eyes discomfort

She has an infectious smile, and I will post one of those shots later. But your question sent me on a search of other models, smiling or not. If you check the portfolios here and on Model Mayhem, very few of the nude models are smiling. I always shoot a couple of smile shots, but for some reason they always end up looking more like snapshots of a naked lady than art. I suppose most of us want to be "serious" artists, but when it comes to nudes, most of the expressions are serious.

Buckwheat, I like how you started with a fully dressed Maria and slowly revealed her. That is an excellent way to do nude art photography by telling a story. While I love a model that smiles, I do not believe a smile is needed in all photos. However, I think her facial expressions could be a bit better. Since she is new to modeling, and this I suspect was her first nude job, she is probably very nervous. Was anyone else present during the shoot? Maybe a friend or another model she brought to help relax her? The photos themselves are great and well composed and lighted.

Ditto on the face comments. She doesn't look friendly at all.

The second photo appears to be a natural position, which is a good thing.

You're off to a good start, nice model, might consider adding a little light to her face. Let see more of your work.
