You definitely have your own feel to your images.
This one would have been fantastic had she had her eyes open and was looking at you:
I don’t understand why you’d give up if we told you to? You seem to enjoy what you do so just do it. Not a faux, but needs some improvement.
What gear do you shoot with? You have some shots in harsh sunlight where a scrim could have helped, and then other shots where off-camera flash would have helped.
I see a lot of grain in your images too, but I’m not sure if that was the effect you were going for or not.
