For the first photo has a few little issues! Both of her hands behind her head was ok but it showed or appeared to armpit sweat.
Putting the model almost dead centered looks like a mistake. She needed to be dead centered or closer to one side. I think you wanted to include the cactus plant but you have a darker one growing out of her arm and elbow. This is where the rule or recommendation is to go to the extreme so it doesn't look like a mistake!
I know the location has a lot of white, unfortunately, cause viewer eyes to look at the brightest part which is all around the subject and definitely behind the subject.
I also feel like the image is very flat (greyish also).
I would recommend changing the grey shirt for something more colorful ( brown shirt maybe? ) for that location might help, underexposure the background and bring up the exposure for the model, or just exposure for the model.
Maybe just using a Speedlite off camera would help in TTL mode if anybody don't know how to use a flash, using only one flash if its too hot just use exposure compensation!
The light was bad at the bathroom wall! You left it in for tips ok fine But you also looked at the image with the model both of you said cute? ( cut out that part ) You didn't notice the trash lighting and still said cute! Sorry but I now feel like your model and You will say anything to validate that its good! Scripted also comes to mind.
Now to leave on a positive note. Talking to your model as you shoot is a great skill, not to be so involved behind the camera without communicating a model. Also being positive, making the model feel good about themselfs. Which makes them relax more! That is where a lot of photographers forget to do or just don't do! If you are going to be a photographer who has clients you need this Skill and remember to use when dealing with people.
This video was done in 2017!!! You have improved quite a bit.
Always awesome dear angel please support me
Oh man I love how you're boosting her confidence❤
I can't watch this. Your audio sucks and your cameraman needs a tripod.
You probably already know this but you are amazing at your job
man. I just wish I could be this motivational 😀 I'll try to do this next time when I'm shooting 🙂
The confidence boost you're giving her is so cute and genuine. She's double beautiful after that.
i notice oyur always asking to lift up the chin.. why do you ask that? great work with the model
This place is heaven ❤️❤️ I tried to find places like this in my town and closer town but couldn't find one ….. The photos are gorgeous by the way ..
I love your smile , keep smile always 😊
You are stunning! I love how you interact with your models. Wish I could be like this, but my insecurities hold me back. Maybe it will get better with some more practise and experience …

As a guy starting out photography this is very difficult to be able to talk to a female model like you are. For myself its much easier to direct a guy – I don't know why… any advice on this?
Once again, so insightful. Thank you! Biggest problem I run into right now is directing the model. This helps a lot!
Cuuuutttteeeeeeeee
Your interaction with the model is fantastic. I always laugh and joke with mine as you get the best shots and makes the shoot fun
