The photos I looked at are terrible. Apart from everything else, Luba's posing is atrocious - there's not an interesting, seductive, exciting, stimulating, or provocative pose in any of the images. In many shots she actually looks uncomfortable. There's nothing "natural" about her poses. In most the backgrounds are distracting. The ones on the bench by the brick wall show her as being particularly uncomfortable. Many of the photos are not sharp and seem to be focused poorly. There's a boring sameness to the ones that you shot from a low angle. Too much sky in those shots, too. If I were your editor I'd suggest doing the entire shoot over again, and get her to relax and relate to you and the environment. I get a sense of two people just going through the motions ... there doesn't seem to be any connection or relationship between the two of you. The shoot feels like it was done mechanically, without much rapor and interaction.
Sorry Brendan, IMO these shots are pretty bad.
