these are good shots, i dig your inclusion of the lights and stands, it gives those images a "behind the scenes" feel, as if the viewer is actually on-set during a photoshoot. however, the second imag is a little off putting; i like the concept, the balancing of light and dark backgrounds is conceptually a good idea, but the difference in scale of the two subjects and the way nicoles leg extends into the other frame (feathered as it is) looks extremely jarring, when paired with the hard edge where the two separate images meet. with that said, the third image is my favorite of this set; the composition is very strong. i particularly like the way you divide the frame into three segments, delineated (left to right) by emma, the light stand, and monique. while the segments may not be of equal widths, the way they are dispersed through the space gives the image depth, and your treatment of this image as black and white has resulted in a very good photograph that captured a moment from the perspective of the spectator, an intimate view of the inner workings of a photo shoot.
