Hello there!
I've just moved to San Diego from Europe and I could use some of your serious critique on my Portfolio. What do you think? Is there a market for this style of photography? I'm also interested in collaboration with Photographers and Models in the area.
Thank you in advance!

Raise the background light so it is behind his head, not his lower body

This one works well

Move the elbows out to sides, so you form a platform for her head to rest on

Another good image [Suggested idea, rotate photo clock wise 10 to 15 degrees, this will eliminate the feeling that she is falling forward]

Feels like subject is to far to photo right

Like the feeling of this image
[Notice in this image how you have the bright area behind his head, which highlights his head]

Good capture
[Would like to see nose pointed at camera a bit more, this would center the eyes more, rather than locked to models right]


I wish you well

Lol.. judging by the faint stripes in the background, I'm guessing he had deliberately rotated it off-vertical to begin with.
So that brings another tip: if you're going to rotate photographs like that, be sure to remove the vertical tells first wink
