Ok, I like your creative style of portraiture. It is fresh and warm. I picked the self portrait as the is a "treatment" that is retro back to "glass" plate images. The personal posing is also not serious or play acting. If you ever look at my gallery you will also see that my choice is of your portrait is also in big part because the BW your shooting also has a balanced tonal quality. If you could get more of your subjects into a studio setting many of the other female models would be a wealth of high quality portrait images. You find very good faces...but "soft lighting" is your creative strength. Best Regards
I love this style
Well done
