Hahhahahaha Great stuff!!!

One nitpick and something I've noticed on a lot of your models. They need to learn to ELONGATE their neck. The only image where it looks like she even has a neck is the second one where she's tearing the dress (which, coincidentally enough, is my favorite of the bunch).

I'm wondering if this has something to do with the level at which you are seated while shooting. Maybe build a ramp so that you are raised a bit and they're not looking down at you? Smiley

I usually ask them to drop their chin to get their eyes in better line with the camera. Thats probably what is making their neck disappear.

one thing for sure, can't re-shoot this one.

Yeah I can tell you are going for the big-eyed demure look. They can still push their shoulders back a touch. Look at fashion magazines. A lot of models use severe angles like dropping one shoulder to really get that long neck look.
There are a lot of poses where the neck just won't look long. I love the Hollywood glamour pose where the model is looking sideways or back and her shoulder is touching her chin. However, try some different poses for variety, some with focus on the eyes, some with lengthening of the neck.

By the way, I love the images where she tearing her dress. My favorite is the same as Marian's. Good job.
