nice work
The shots themselves are alright, but if you're going for fashion/glamour photography you really need to work on your editing. It's ok, but it has to be much better.
A few tips for you:
- Don't put that horrible watermark on your images.
- Work on the positioning of your models, and image composition in general:
....- Don't get so close up to them - #4 you are too close and it means you've cropped off the top of her head, #3 you've cropped off the bat which really should have been in the picture.
....- Make sure they're positioned somewhere that doesn't have a distracting background - #2 with the ivy is not a good location.
....- Keep the body language smooth - #1 her legs look enormous but her head looks tiny. She should be leaning more forwards with her legs crossed over the other way, or you should have shot from a much higher angle.
- If you want more fashion style photography you need to get the clone/heal tools out. On #2 it doesn't look like you've done much image editing even, let alone selective airbrushing. You need to work on your colours (tones rather than shades) and contrast especially.
-Again I repeat, get rid of that horrible watermark.

I am more going for portraits that focus on tattoos and other body modifications.

Editing: Yeah, I know I need to work on that, I am always practicing (#1 and 4 had slight editing), but it's a work in progress. As far as "tones" are concerned, I have (since these shots), stopped using Auto White Balance, and started using custom. The results have been better, but I am still working on it.
Crop: Be cause of the focal points I am looking for, the crops I use are closer, since I am trying to get the details of what is on the skin. Though I agree that I need to get away from that with "glamour style" work.
Poses: Good tips on that, I am going to try some new ones for sure.
Watermark: It is big and unprinable on purpose. Mostly to keep people, including the models I use from not printing the images unless and/or until I give permission.
Thanks for the comments!
