i like the 2nd one the most. i'm not a portrait expert but cut off limbs bother me a little. i would've liked to see the elbows in number 1 for instance.
but, overall, i think they're all great. also love the nice red contrasting with the white here. good job.

The cropping was mostly what the modeling agency asked for...but I get what you're saying. It felt kinda weird cutting the elbows in the first picture haha.
I hesitate to say anything, as I'm not a portrait/fashion expert either, but I like the pose/comp/crop in #s 2 and 3 best.... but the lighting/pp in #1 best.
There appears to be banding in #s 1 and 2, but that might just be the uploads.
Yeah, I'm mostly looking for some critique on lights, colors, editing, etc. Thanks guys!
draymorton: "banding"? could you please explain? i'm not familiar with the term
It's probably the upload and nothing that you did in the image itself... and it's not technically banding, per se. But do you see the dark area behind her head in #1 and how it ends abruptly? And then another "ring" outside of that which ends just as abruptly? Particularly noticeable on the right side.
I can see the texture of the wall, adn she looks like she almost has her back up to it. I think it would look better if she stepped forward a few feet to throw the wall out of the focus and just have a soft creamy red back. But, that distance bothers me more in 1 and 2 for some reason. I really like #3, great work!

Lighting, color, is solid. For composition I'd have liked to see #1 a little less tight on the crop, #2 would be a bit stronger if not so centered. The only real issue I have is that on my monitor the white fabric has lost almost all detail. I don't think it's blown out, but it is washed out. Maybe some very low opacity burning at the hems and plunge pleats (bottom center) in #1&2 would bring this detail back, it's not nearly as problematic in #3
