The guitar one and the crouching one are the best of the bunch I think. What was your lighting setup like? Also any before/after pics with PP sets available?

I like the lighting on the face and how you burned out the background to make it nice and dark. The lighting does seem to be off on the shot with the globe as compared to the others. I'd say my favorite where the guitar shot and the shot just showing half your face. What sort of processing did you do in Photoshop?

pp (with cs2) included levels,saturation (little selective desaturations -10/-20)
contrast (up to +7/8),selective color (especially black up to +10) to get the nice black background,dodging/burning, usm and stroke (only by a few useful)

lighting setup was as i said a 200w bulb infront of the model with a selfmade reflector behind the bulb (umbrella with some aluminium foil on a tripod) and a 40 w bulb above the model

Good job on the processing...in my opinion the processing looks nice and natural.
