I asked for criticism and critique about two years ago and I got a few responses. All were very helpful and I took the advice very seriously and to heart. I have studied and tried to hone my craft over the past few years and I feel as though I have significantly improved as a photographer. One way I have tried to improve is to shoot as much as I can... To learn by doing. However I still doubt myself on every shoot. I would really appreciate some feedback on my images so I can see if I'm moving in a forward motion.

Thank you in advance.

I did not see your work from 2 years ago, however I took a look in your port and as a fellow photographer, I can tell you this "I love your use of light and shadows. Not sure why you still doubt yourself because you are spot on in this area. Keep shooting. Best of luck going forward. Stop doubting yourself.
