Did my first nude photo shoot over the weekend, and have the first three edited to the point where I think I'm satisfied with them. If I could have some feedback, maybe what I'm doing right or could change upon (lighting, editing, posing the model, etc..) I would appreciate it.

I really like the first one. I like the hair light on the left. The third one is good but I would darken the paper on the lower right area.. Just might thoughts on the paper if you don't do it that doesn't make it wrong.

+1 on the paper. I hate working with black paper because slight imperfections are just a little more noticeable and therefore need to be tended to when lighting (flagging the light) or in post.

Thank you, and actually the background is a velour grey backdrop. thought it was a good compromise material in-between muslin and paper. was a little tricky to work with, but I'm glad the results show.
yea pretty much, I only have 2 lights and I wanted to make sure I had an edge light with some separation
otherwise thanks for the suggestions I'll have to make some adjustments and see how they work out
Yeah, it looks like it could have used a little fill. But I agree that the edge light was necessary, so you probably made the right call on where to use your second light.
I like the first one the most. nice interaction with the model.
The no shoes with stockings kind of annoys me. I don't know why. Naked with shoes, fine, naked no shoes fine, but naked with stockings and no shoes not fine in my world.

Yea I know what you mean, the model was actually supposed to bring shoes to the shoot. I supplied the wig, stockings, and props. She failed to bring the one thing I asked her to bring. I just had to let it go, I'll take it as the fact that maybe I wasn't supposed to shoot with her wearing shoes.

On my maternity shoot she forgot shoes too. She was wearing boots to the shoot. We went mostly shoeless.
