hi Hexi
nice portraits and very nice model.
I only have one suggestion, if you want to make such near close-ups as #1 and #2, it's better to step back and use a longer lens (85mm or 135mm), because the 50mm used so close distorts the face features.

Hi Orio

Thank you for the advice, i'll practice more the 85.

nice results! no need to go to the 80, stay with the 50 and make 1 step back

What I meant is, if he wants to make such tight closeups (the face almost fully fills the frame), it's better to use a longer lens from a longer distance to avoid distortion due to proximity.
Of course, if he steps back with a 50mm lens, he will still get great pictures, but they will be no tight closeups anymore.

I comment that way because I am not fan of tight closeups (good for passport pics)
for me a portrait is from head&shoulders to half body

We must call these eye shots Laughing I like this style myself at times, too bad for the shadows on the eye [#3]; she has such good color.

This is a fine lens - I use mine on a 1.6x sensor and it comes out fine used like this. So I can say Orio's suggestion is pretty good

I actually like much the lighting in #3
you may just brigthen up the eyes a bit in photoshop then it's perfect.
