Looking

[coopstar47]

This was taken at the same time as my last post. Grey seamless in the back with one 500W light off to the right of the model. Any comments welcome but mostly wondering about lighting.

Nikon D5000
1/25
f/5.3
ISO 400

something is a bit weird here. you're talking about a 500W light directed at her and yet you're shooting with shutter speed of 1/25 and ISO 400. just doesn't make sense.
1/25 is extremely slow and usually you should shoot studio at around 1/125 (flash sync speed).
the photo seems a bit soft, guess it's a focus issue as well as the slow shutter speed.
other than that, the expression doesn't really do it for me. she seems bored, tired and just wants to get the hell out of there. but pose and expressions are really a matter of taste.
I do like the lightning and the shadows though

I have no idea about lighting, so I'll comment on the pose...

Head pose is good, shoulder needs a little work, left shoulder should move a bit back while right shoulder forward a bit, that's it!

I like the lighting though, and the black and white of it

I think you did ok as far as lighting and shadows. Your EXIF has me boggled. Her expression ruins it all for me. I agree that she looks board and ready to go. When my clients look like this I tell them to say "fuzzy pickles" it always gets a great expression from them.

The light isn't a flash, its just a continuous 500W light which is why the shutter is so slow

I like the softness of the image but to have a model sit super still for that shutter speed could explain her irritated expression. Just teasing. I've used my off camera flash in conjunction with my continuous lights and gotten a good results but it wouldn't have the same dramatic lighting effect you've created here. Just a thought as I am by no means an expert.
