I've been learning about portrait lighting and posing this winter. How

am I doing? Suggestions for improvement?

Nice lighting, although I'm not sure about the expressions. She looks ticked off!

I agree with the expressions. They both look irritated. Lighting looks nice, though. Did you use an umbrella or softbox for the main light at camera left?

The lighting is ok but could have been much better with softer light. Also, the womans left arm looks cut off, so perhaps you would change the position. Its good that you can see a white spot in both of their eyes! good luck! :)

I used an umbrella on the front left and two flashes behind to create the highlights. I found it a challenge to to get them to relax. Any tips?
