IHFOh goodness! I’m very embarrassed…sigh… I didn’t read well enough to realize you were only 16. I’m so very sorry.
I will be more careful from here on out. Sometimes YANAP can bring out the worst in me. I know I take photography way too seriously for most, and I tend to get on the defensive easily/quickly
After Archy pointed things out, I re read, AND took time to go through your images. I must say I’m quite impressed! You are doing really well. I cant scream “keep going!” loud enough.
I first got into photography at your age. I had the best teacher, but he was tough, and when he tried to push me harder all it did was make me back away and think “ugh! I suck!” Now I get what he was trying to do, but at the time it zoomed way over my head. I figured I wasn’t good enough to continue to pursue it, and my parents didn’t support the idea either, so I pretty much stopped shooting all together. Now over 20 years later I’m finding myself making up for lost time.
Regardless wether this ends up as a career for you or not, I see your work developing into something wonderful! You absolutely have an eye, and I would love to live through you vicariously 😉
Please, still read the links I gave to you even if they don’t apply to your situation right now, they are still valid, and could help your future decisions.
I don’t post any of my portrature publicly (still learning, and only shooting family), so i doubt my “art” would be very helpful for you, but I’ll go ahead and post a link just in case I have something to offer you.
