How about these two the first one I'm not sure if it isn't getting much attention because people don't notice I'm actually in it or if the picture isn't as great as much as I love it. The second one is one of my newest so would love your thoughts on it.

This lighting is super flat bump the contrast and saturation a bit maybe? Or use travel lighting /reflectors Second image looks like a painting. And I'm no expert on under water photography but models face and pose are rather boring as well as her outfit and surroundings.and her skin is too yellow !

Ditch the first photo, literally can't see you The second ditch too, this looks so sloppy and boring, you even look bored, bad lighting and unfocused!

Your portfolio looks amateur and unpolished. Pay closer attention to detail- models wardrobe, makeup/hair , pose and expression!! Maybe invest in a travel light, it can really enhance outdoor shooting. Even a reflector, because the lighting looks flat and boring in your photos.

I'm undecided about this one. I haven't printed it, but on some screens I like it and on others it looks a bit cold and 'severe'. Here's a warmer and softer image of the same model from a different shoot for comparison

Things that stand out: her face looks pale compared to the skin on her body, while her eyes have catch lights they are in shadows (I don't mind this but could add to the cold feeling) And the pink strap is a bit bothersome. I like her expression, this model is obviously gorgeous! I think your editing and retouching look good, and perhaps you darkened the shadows a bit much and that could also add to the coldness. But mostly like I said the skin tone in her face is off.. Looking at It on my screen it does look harsh. Over all, lighten the shadows a tad and make her skin all one color and I think it's useable I do wish the crop we try so tight at the bottom though

You look boxed up, basically looking like a quad amputee I think you have potential. Practice posing!!!! And work with better photographers Second image- i do looove the movement!! But it lacks connection to the viewer. The editing on this is terrible, way too orangey and wayyy over retouched!

The Calvin Klein undies.. Looks awesome, Careful thoughbc you could have chosen one with a more attractive facial expression. The teal blanket photo looks a bit unpolished and seriously ditch the blanket! Ditch all the photos w the female, they look way too contrived and over edited In general keep practicing and good start.

There is wayyy too much going on in this photo. I really dislike it especially the fact that her blonde hair is out ., its disturbing. Why didn't you pull get hair up into a bun or something?

Awkward pose and crop! Also might just be me but the tattoo portraits are weird (like too personsl)and distracting. Also distracting is her boobs are being cut in Half by her shirt But the main thing is the retouching!! Holy heavy hand, try that again!

It just doesn't match w this dark/beautiful image. Also Her fingers are splayed in an unattractive way , remember delicate hands!

I'm actually more keen on getting some good female models, but where are they?? The Calvin Klein undies, yeah I know, it's a shame, I have replaced his whole head thou, but hey the focus is on the physique. The teal blanket - ditch the blanket, polish the model and shoot? Wait, he's Polish! The female models, have I over edited their face, eyes or? Thank you for your time. Appreciated.

I like it! Really cool idea. The Alien tthing is kind of disturbing And I do like the processing you did in photoshop to give it that dirty look.
