As Catherine mentioned, the light is stunning and it creates different moods of the photos. However, the edges of the white background are little bit distracting in image 2, 5, 9.
I think the overall tone and the lightings of your photos and especially the nose ring your model has give me the feeling of depravation. I can make up a story of a girl spent her days doing nothing but get drunk in the clubs. And base on this story I make up myself the graininess of your photos is working. However I think you should pay more attention to the composition of your photos cause they now seem not so intentional.
I think your use of dramatic lighting was successful in creating a mood that evokes loneliness. However, your images are not sharp and I feel like it takes away from the overall quality of your photos because I think your compositions are interesting and successful.
I think you did a good job with having an intentional light source and directing the shadows. I think you successful captured a "dark" mood. I think your 2nd and 9th photos are the least successful because they lack a dramatic quality - maybe if you would have tried a closer shot or a different angle. I also think the 4th photo is out of place. I like how the fingers mimic the lines on her shirt and how the shadows on the fingers mimic the shirt, but I don't think the photo contributes to your narrative.
The very first thing I noticed about these photos is that some of them are blurry or out of focus; this is especially notable in your 9th photo. There are also distractions in the background such as the black bar, lines, and what appears to be wrinkles that take away from the professional aspect of the images.
I agree with the comments discussing your choice of lighting. You create a very intentional atmosphere, but I can't overlook the graininess of several of these photos. Mood shouldn't rely on being created through the technical quality of the photo, rather the composition and lighting. You have some really interesting compositions but I agree with Angelica that the 4th photo feels out of place.
I like the shadows and how you used extreme dark to create a sort of void effect. I wish you would have done more with your model and got them to use their body to really communicate a message, making dynamic forms and pushing boundaries.
Your use of soft and unusual lighting is really intriguing. It creates depth and overall boxes in the focal point of each image, like the eye in #3.
