Like the top three the best. Red of the lips really jump out and the eyes seem to be more engaging than the others. All good, just like top three the best. As always great job. Looking forward to lucky number 13

I can say with complete sincerity that I almost always prefered beauty/glamor images captured in a highly controlled a studio environment.

you have altered my thinking.

I love the work, but if there's one thing that I think is missing from a number of the series is something very basic.

Why don't the models smile?

I can understand that some of these scenes depict something 'edgy', but when I see beautiful women in any situation, often the first thing that comes to mind is that I'd love to see them smile.

A smile expresses a person more than anything else in the world.

Thanks for sharing this latest group, I particularly liked the bokeh of the 2nd shot and the closeup details of her beautiful face.

By the way, have you considered updating your DPR gear list and add the lenses you are using?

Yes. It is time to fix it.

By the way, I noticed that while all of the shots in this latest series were taken with your Oly 75mm f1.8 lens but you also own the PL 42.5mm f1.7. They are both excellent portrait lenses, is there a particular reason why you selected the 75mm for this latest group?

If you expect to shoot full-length portraits, the longer lens is the better one imho.

Ilya, I have been meaning to ask you what the temperature was on the day you took those shots and if you experienced any issues shooting in the cold with the 75mm lens or Pen-F body?
