It's already been said: Background

When you start doing studio shots, you really need a pretty good distance between your subject and your background. Either that, or you need to shoot very wide open apertures.

The trouble with distance is ... the further away the subject is from the background, the bigger the background you need (due to angle of coverage). So it's a bit of a balancing act. A fast lens will help.

My favorite of the b&w series. Even though she is straight on to the camera, I think the mood and attitude make it work.

The duotone is working well here. You have whites, blacks and browns, all very distinctive. Well done.

Uh, which Bond movie is she going to be in?!? ;-)

(sorry, James Bond immediately came to mind, I dunno why)

Ya know what might be cool in a shot like this? A black reflective floor.

Hmmm... it's "sexy" in a "so very innocent" way! Love the expression and the pose.

Ditto. I don't care for looking up her nose. And besides, if you get above her, you'll get her to open up her eyes more.
