Re: Wrapping light
Interesting lighting:
1st seems to be a study in color rather than form.
2nd, eyes are prominently displayed while other features seem to be lost in the composition. Again, color seems to be the major element with the grey texture of the sweater a second consideration.
3rd, best of the set for me, I'm not distracted by color and the features are prominently displayed.

Re: Wrapping light
I quite like the head and shoulders area of the first but not the clothing. Not at all sure of the second. However, I definitely like the mono, particularly the way you have rendered the eyes. However, I find the hands slightly distracting and my personal preference would be to deepen the mid tones slightly.

Re: Wrapping light
These are very interesting and a unique approach. I honestly love it. It's different, and so often we don't see different in much of photography.
If I had to chose, I'd say number 3 is my favorite. I like the black and white, her eyes really pop, and the color against the very stark nothingness in the models face/body in the others is a bit distracting for me..

Re: Wrapping light
Manfred,
Interesting experimentation.
I agree with John that the third photo is the most successful of the three.
The first appears to me as merely an over-exposed image, and for me the second simply has no appeal.
The third however, has a well posed subject, and excellently balanced use of the high-key lighting which, while scrubbing out some detail in the models features still leaves others showing to achieve an interesting effect.

Re: Wrapping light
Thanks for the comments. They are definitely along the lines of what I had expected.
We had downloaded a number of images from 500Px and tried to recreate some of these images. One issue we definitely ran into is that some of the images were heavily manipulated in PP so trying to figure out what the underlying image would look like before the PP step was a bit challenging.
It was an interesting few hours in the studio with four photographers trying to recreate the lighting (up to 5 studio lights at one time were in use) and then a few more hours in PP to try to get the "look". It was a great learning experience, even though I doubt I will likely ever uses some of these techniques again.
