This is my least favourite of the ones I viewed. To me, it just feels awkward and doesn't evoke any real emotion.
I think given the pose, it's obvious he wasn't going to an attractive or desirable feeling. The model's body doesn't look good. He was going for something, I suppose, more vulnerable. I think it falls flat because her hair still has this perfect seductive shine to hit, and the way its positioned is so flawless. As well, he doesn't pay attention to the background. It's awkward where she is posed near this window, and there is just a bit of a painting in the top of the shot.
It all combines to take me out of any mood I might feel and I just feel like I'm in that room sitting there as he awkwardly directs her and she waits for this to be done to get into the next shot because it's fucking weird.
