Dramatic poses :thumbsup:

The backlight is much too bright.  I would like to see a greater light ratio between the main and fill lights, for better definition of the body form.  Lower the height of main light a little to relieve the dark shadows under the eyes.  And the armpit could use some softening in post.

I like the poses, seems like a little more fill light would balance things out.

The backlighting isn't necessary with a white background. You should be blowing out the white by lighting it directly, rather than trying to apply rim-lighting to your model.  The bright background would then contrast consistently with here.

The front lighting is not good. It it not bright enough, and there are no interesting shadows. Try starting with the light position 45 degrees to one side, and 45 degrees up. Additionally, do not let her lower her chin like that. It is not attractive. Your camera should be at bust height and her head/face aimed at you or just above. At least until you master lighting. Edit the complexity of your set and try to simplify so that you work on one thing at a time.

If that background is paper, you might consider getting some Thunder Gray instead. It can be sent to either black or white with proper lighting.  White is not very flexible.

Posing is tough. Lighting is tough. Keep it up!!
