Well, it seems you have your own style. This is good.
One thing I noticed in all your work is that they show too much contrast. If this is what you were going for, good work. If you just did this because you had no idea of what you were doing, you might want to step back and have another look. Contrast works in most of your subject matter, while in others not so much.
Let me just say, your subjects are nicely posed and show emotion. All except for the third image, the one with two subjects rubbing their chins. The fellow on the left is very well posed, and looks very natural. Great work! The second subject on the right looks out of place. He seems as if he does not want to be there. Personally, I think you should just crop him out of the frame, leaving only the subject on the left in the frame.
The portrait of the girl in a pink shirt is quite lovely, but one thing that really got to me was the bright red monkey bars cutting across her, and the frame. In a portrait, you want the person to standout, not become part of the background. To fix this, you should have either moved to a different angle, or shot with a wider aperture, such as a f1.8 or f1.4 on a portrait lens of about 50mm or 85mm.
Overall, good work. It shows you have your own style, and this is what a true artist must have. Your subjects were well placed, all except for a few. Great work.

Hi Mia. I think there's potential here. I think you should expand beyond the staged photos of friends though. Start considering the unscripted every day life scenes. Other than that, it's good to see you are working at this with enthusiasm. Oh, and what's with the boobs in the first photo??? I'm not trying to be condescending here. But it takes away any sense of being spontanious. Like I said, there's potential. Keep up the good work.

I really like the second one with the B & W half face,
and the one with the striped hat is interesting,
the others are ok too, but blown highlights wreck a lot of them.

There were only two I liked, 1) the girl with the lemon colored hair and the second, the painted face. The others were dark and you really couldn't enjoy the beauty of the photos.
Hang in there, you definitely have potential

They're just okay. Nothing that seemed to knock my socks off if I may. I do think that you use quite a bit of contrast. Is that a style of yours? I think that when photographing people, you may want to soften things up a bit. Don't forget to concentrate on focus.

Lot's of pictures.
I just did a random sample. The two that I viewed had the highlights completely blown out.

you have some striking angles in your photography, as far as how you are shooting vs the subjects pose. the contrast in the black and whites are nice also. the real test tho, is how good is your stuff without any editing at all? if you can shoot and sell it without editing, then that is the mark of a true photographer.
good luck, your work is very good.

the one with the yellow wig was breath takingly beautiful, the beach ones were nice and but the ones with the guys were mediocre and they had no passion for what they were doing but i think you have talent

the first shot is scary, the last shot is pleasing.
Only looked at those 2. They have exposure issues and focus etc issues, you havea good start go and get the knowledge of the craft now

You have great potential but they are way too contrasty and blown out. Work on that part and they'd be great!
