I've always been interested in photography but just recently started taking it seriously. My first photoshoot was in September of last year. Would like some serious critique from pros. Thanks.
Mate, toss out the image with sheila that has the black censor line across her eyes and get rid of all that text in your watermark. Get yourself a fancy but small logo to watermark your images and perhaps include some text, but limit to your business name.
As far as your bio is concerned...I don't care if you are a vegetarian.
...and get rid of the spill about your assistant...just mention you have one and he is a celebrity, include a link to his website.
Use a spell checker whenever posting into a forum.
Apart from that, your work has much potential and nothing grossly wrong pops out with your images, with the exception of aforementioned bits.

Her name is Zhane'...Maybe you should learn to read before posting in the forum And I did say "critique from Pros"...but thanks for your 2 cents!

Mate, if you didn't have a huge rectangle over the shiela's face and didn't make my eyes sore from trying to decipher all that fine print on each photo and didn't use /////+++---- and """" every time you caption something, I just might have discovered the model's name somewhere. Going off now to critique some real pro work and will leave you to studying more photography.
...AND do get a handle on the lingo from other nation's that speak English, it will serve you well. Off now to grab some tucker, before I waddle off to wet the whisker. and watch the cricket.
As far as I can see you are off to a good start you are leaning into the fashion direction from what I can see with your current work. The only issue I can see with the Zhane image(close up image) is that it needs to be closer you are leaving a lot of space from the top crop in on her like your other images. Most of the images have a pretty good 3 point perspective so that is good.
this images has an akward compistion because of how much of the cropping you did with the arms.
But this images has that 3 point perspective that I was talking about. I also like the dramitic lighting of this images as well as some of the others.
Now for the last Zhane image this is compisitionally pleasing it works well can see it in an ad. The issue with the images how the model is sucking in her mouth if it was not for that this would a great editorial image for an ad. So notice what model do with the face when shooting with them.
In the end I think you do not have anything to worry about you are well on your way.
Hmmm... just how many pro photographers do you intend to sell your images to?
As far as I have heard, they make their own images, not buy them.
A pro may help you on the technical stuff, but that's a relatively easy part of making an image. The image's creativity has to appeal to EVERYONE! So you should be asking for critiques from EVERYBODY.
Oops... I'm not a 'pro' so I guess you won't read this anyway.

Thank you very much for the constructive critique! Exactly the kind of critique I was looking for! Just based on what you said, I decided to take a closer look at the 2 images you suggested issues with and I decided to delete them. You were right, the cropping on the asian girl was off and the zhane photo was good but i did take a closer look at her lips and saw exactly what you were referring to. Thanks so much!

I should of said "Serious photographers" instead of "pros". I'm just looking for serious constructive criticism on my work since this is what I plan on doing for the rest of my life. But you were right, I should be asking critiques from everyone. Thanks.
I'm not a pro, and the only thing I'm serious about is how hard I try to produce quality images. So you can stop reading here if you like.
I think your work is awesome, especially the black & whites.
The only one I DON'T like is the "motion-capture" pic. I'm not a fan of that style and I don't like how dark the right side of the frame is. (Also, I think unlit cigarettes are silly.) But that's just my taste.

It sux..
Sorry if that sounds harsh, but you'll need to pay or find a decent photographer willing to TF with you if you wish to look more professional than a FB wanna be glam model.
...But really, you should hit the new thread button at the top of the critique forums listings if you'd like to start your own critique listing.
