In every photo you are facing left!  There is not much variation in composition, poses, or tonality of the images.  Need more variation.

You have a Good Look and Photograph Well

Keep working with better and better Photographers


and I agree that you should give the right side of your face some exposure

First post was a little abrupt!  Kinda tired when I wrote it so I will add more here.

All but 2 of the photos have the "bad boy" kind of look to them and that will end up being limiting in the long run, get a variety of poses and outfits.  Get head shots, torso shots, left and right poses, vary the clothing more, male glamour shots, cleaned up, a little dirty, use props, etc..  Many of the them seem to be taken by friends, maybe with a cell phone by the look of the images.  It's funny, the one I like the best as far as poses goes is https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/45936231, but with better composition (not placing you directly in the center of the image and a few other subtle changes) it probably would be a great shot.

You might be able to find someone in your area doing trade shoots to start with and see what you come up with, but make sure they have a real camera.  Went to a photo shoot once with a "professional" and they were using a point-and-shoot digital camera!  If that happens, walk away!  You can do several sessions with different photographers and styles then select a few  of the best shots from there.  A few paid sessions would be a boost along this path, but check the photographers portfolio first to make sure they fit the look you are after.

I agree with Garry K, there is good potential, just need to find a good set of photos for the portfolio.  Check out other models and photographers profiles here and try to emulate a few of the poses to start with, you will develop your look.

Good start. I would suggest working on facial expressions as it appears you have two expressions that are your go to. A wider array will help you.

too many repetitive shots I think, with the same look and feel. looks kinda monotonous a bit.
and it's Ok to have less photos in your port till the moment you get more varieties of looks
