I was working on directional lighting with this shot.

I am hoping to get more into glamour/boudoir type shoots.

Would love thoughts on this.

OK, I'm not huge on portraits, but my first thought was where is the top of her head. It seems to blend in too much with the dark background.
2ndly, the tatt, I assume it is a tatt, probably needs to be at the forward of her body, not the rear. Ie, she needs to turn the other way. The way it is it just looks like a mark on her skin. Or Cover it up.
The hair on her face is causing some shadows.
And the shadow of her nose is not doing anyyhing positive for her.

I like the pose for th nude, as it's giving a raunchy, but I'm not telling all look.

Hope that helps. Sorry it all seems negative.

My main thought on this when I saw it on your website was that I felt the shadow on her face were too harsh and dark. I really like the idea and I only shoot natural light so am no where near an expert.
