Those are the best and are super-strong.

When it comes to closeups, there are a couple of things that I feel look a bit off.

Eye brows are weak, you might want to use makeup to make them look stronger.

There is also too little distance between the eye brow and the eyelashes, I'm not sure how to fix that, but I know that is the first thing that I felt was an issue.

The buzz cut also does not work, or at least I don't like it, I think you need hair at some length.

But your body/figure shots are strong, you can stay with that, but if you want close ups I would want change your hair style or makeup.

Thank you for your helpful feedback. As a guy, I am learning to work on the eyebrows. I barely groom them and will experiment with making them a bit more prominent. I wear light to almost no make-up in the two photoshoots I have done.  How would you suggesting changing the makeup? I am planning another photoshoot with close-ups of face (to showcase my skin) with dewy moist look. Long hair always bugged me, but I will take your suggestion into consideration for the next pics. Thank you so much for the feedback!

It all depends what "role" you are playing.

In general, I think (I'm not sure if men are ok with makeup, but I regularly work with those who are so it should be?) you want to make your eyebrows darker, just use any dark color (I prefer just plain black) eyeliners (because eyebrows might not grow that fast and sometimes everyone's eyebrows are different).

I'm really not sure what to do about the distance between the eye and the eyebrows being too short., I would say lift your eyebrows with your muscles, but then it might look wierd/fake during that pose. You might just need to experiment with eye/facial muscles in front of the mirror and possibly with white eyeshadow.

The most distracting (for closeups) is the area between the eyebrows which kind of bulges out. It's an area of empty expression, but I think stronger eyebrows will help pull away from that.

Definitely longer hair, at least an inch. The reason is that when you have a shaved head, there the classic bald patch near the side edges of the front of your hairline that (some) people might find unattractive (and others find attractive).

I am totally cool with make-up and creating editorial/androgynous looks. I am pretty good at doing my own basic, but mess up anything around eyes. So I am learning and taking help from friends who are pros with makeup and with whom I plan to shoot. I really want to capture close ups of face like an editorial skin care ad. That would be something I would love to get (maybe unrealistic because I am not the young conventional model), but I have a flawless skin and get lot of compliments.

See some idea pics I am putting together
