Ok, here's what I think. May be a bit direct but I have experienced the same thing as a photographer...

well, first, I definately see a better, softer make-up. The black eyes and the undefined lips don't do much for her. Also, the hair, although I know bodybuilders usually wear their hair up to show everything, should be less severly styled. Something softer, more sensuous would be more appropriate, just to soften her face a bit. I'm sure it would help.

Also, I think I know why she has such a rigid face... I think it is because she is concentrating too much on flexing the muscles. If I were you, I'd try to get her to pose without flexing. I'd also ask her to pose for portraits, just the face, to concentrate on that and make sure she relaxes a lot and see what face looks best for her. Do you know what I mean? With Angelique, we did that at the beginning because she wasn't as comfortable as she is now and her face looked goofy at the beginning. Now, she knows exactly what to do and 95% of her pics turn out fantastic!

Practice makes perfect!

Sophie.
