In some angles, you do look very good with some model potential, example:

The thing that looks awkward is that you have what appears to be very short legs, long torso, and slightly large head. This looks funny, which is good for an actor, but as a model, it's either not quite there or not what you want.

I think it's because the photographer used a very short wide angle lens to distort that.

In a lot of frames you tend to look down or "drop" your energy, it looks unattractive.

So basically I see some potential, but its a bit hard to say just yet.

Apply some of the corrections and try with different photographers, try using a longer lens btw.

Also either go for super-silly or super-serious next time.

hire a good pjotographer who can pose you and bring out your best.What shows in your port is less than flattering images.

I think the biggest thing you need to do is find a better photographer and work on some posing. Look through magazines and start a list of poses you like then try them. But you really need to find a better photographer.

You're nice and tall - that's good.

Agree with above comment. They need to shoot with a longer lens and from a lower vantage point. Shot from above enlarges the head and gets smaller to the feet. You do not need that. You need a head shot that shows what you look like - eyes, smile, not smile, skin. No obvious cellphone selfies! Unless they are very good and serve some purpose.

I could not tell from what I see whether you would be good to work with or whether I'd have to direct everything you do. Look at male models and see what they do and practice something like it. Don't copy, just get ideas.

Not just the posing, the camera angles but other technical details say these are not shot by a professional.

Good luck!
