Dear Linda,

It's difficult for me to give you good pointers...

My suggestion is to be experimental.
Ask your model to do something unexpected.
Look up Philippe Halsman: A great portraitist who had his subjects jump.

Also, look at many books on portraiture and decide which pictures you like the 
best and why.

Very best wishes,

Chris

Dear Chris,
 
Do these catch the soul better?

Is it about laughing...?

Hello Linda,

I am new to this list  and don't know the accepted conventions and behaviour 
here: 

I hope that if I criticise your pictures,  it won’t be taken amiss or, worse, 
that I’ll not be considered a pariah!  But you are asking for feedback…

The pictures of the  young woman: I find them technically very well done, well 
lit and so  on....

But what is the purpose of those pictures? They generally don't  catch the 
character or the soul of the subject. If they are meant to be  glamorous, in 
several she has expressions which don't show her at her  best.

My main observation/criticism is, what are you trying to say with  these photos?
Best wishes,
Chris
