Had a practical session at camera club last night to recreate an image made Karen. She set up a ring light and had had water poured over her head. She seemed nervous and didn't talk to us much.
Today I did a bit of FaceAche scrolling and found her website. https://www.nebouxii-photography.co.uk/ She's a talented, eclectic, part time professional photographer.
Not my thing either. I looked at some of her work in the link you provided. Just my opinion but I find I am over pictures of nude, or semi-nude, women posed in places where they would probably never be found, draped over a flight of stone stairs, or posing in an ancient looking doorway etc. Nothing against anyone who finds their artistic expression that way but not my thing either.
I don't do many portraits, for me it's still soul theft. However, I like to see interesting portraits.
I don't understand this portrait. I don't know why she used a ring light. She got the effect of a wax face. She doesn't arouse any emotions in me, at most I would give her a towel. But that's just my opinion. Everyone is looking for their own way.
I guess it works in that it has made me stop and look and read all the comments. There is something striking about it but it's not quite right either....

@haskar me neither, but I joined in. I didn't use camera settings she suggested either
@robz it's certainly something
@photohoot no way I would have had water poured in me Wendy
@7oaks_pikachu apparently the ring light in the eye is something to strive for
@gardencat I always think they look sooooo uncomfortable for the photographer's art
@pandorasecho I found the purpose of the set up wierd!
@dkbarnett well thank you
@shutterbug49 it is
@casablanca most creepy
@wakelys I did like her idea of cheap lights (£80-100!!)
