It is nice, but I have to agree with Nick. Much of fashion photography seems to be stuck in a vignetted 70s warmed colors feel with narrow Depth of Fields.
Still, I’d have loved to do this at 17!

the passion in these pics is nothing without the women. the essence is the women’s beauty. the talent here was just the picking of the models. otherwise, nothing really amazing.
you use the rule of thirds in some, but I can’t really put my finger on it why the others are so « self-centered » so to speak..
sorry, I am « that guy »..
don’t get me wrong, they’re beautiful, but just that.
disclaimer: I have no photography knowledge, I’m just an a-hole sometimes, and an immensely artistic person.
I dont care what the other people say! It is flawless and beautiful. You have an ability to set up people to look their best and capture that moment in time. Bene!
Excellent feedback so far, I’m impressed with the comments. Please don’t be offended by them. Critique, albeit hard to take sometimes, is incredibly helpful. You’re a talented photographer and these are fantastically beautiful images. Take to heart this criticism, learn from it and grow; you will go far.

Beautiful work. The light and atmosphere are gorgeous. The composition is strong. I’m not sure I agree with the comments above. The center composition is one of real strengths of these. It’s what makes them feel so empty. Be careful about overusing it though.
Technically, I think the first picture is very strong. Although I think the forth one down (the woman in the garden) is a little more ambiguous in tone and (to me) more interesting to look at for that reason. I can imagine your work moving more in that direction.
No matter what, take the criticism with a grain of salt. It is much easier to type criticism than take pictures. You have real talent. Keep shooting.

Kind of funny to see how some people commenting took offense to the critique. When among most art types we accept it as part of the creative process that we can continue to improve. Better to tell someone honestly how they’re work is flowing than to gloss things over; as a community we should help one another’s art to grow.

These are stunning, and beautiful. You are very talented, it is amazing that your so young and through experience you’ll become even greater. Best of luck!

Great photography. Gorgeous women. Who could ask for anything more?
This is flawless, its beautiful and your work is amazing! Much love!
Great pix :)
You seem to have staged despair and depression utilizing young women, your work is quite sad and revealing about you.
Well excecuted, but the style, cropping, surroundings, poses and angles has been seen so many times before. Lack of originality in my opinion.

Great photos. As far as sadness someone mentioned – there isn’t a sadder time than being 17 ;)
Keep up. They all would love you.
All these photos look the girls just woke up from a coma and don’t know what to do with themselves.

I would like to lay with any of those women. Very sensual implications in some of those photos. I could get in to this…
wow! good work!
Why didn’t you taken any pictures of ugly girls?
wow! Your photos are great! I really liked your work!
hermosas!
Len, sadness is in the mind of the beholder, so your comment is quite revealing about you.
The photos are alright. too bad the ugly girl with the blonde hair is in some of them.
