It caught my attention immediately when I clicked your link. As well as being pretty technically sound, the subject is great. Her emotion is great, you can feel that. The monochrome pictures of both girls are very technically sound.

The tonality is nice, and the only thing I’d be tempted to do is how they are positioned in the frame, the top of the frame is left pretty wide open and I feel personally that it could’ve been stronger if the subject took up more of the frame.

 

As for everything else, it’s okay. The focus in c1 seems a bit off, K1 is technically solid but doesn’t do anything for me, the framing in girls1 is a little off for my taste, and 3 is technically solid and it’s kind of interesting, so that’s a plus.

 

Now in commercial photography, photographs don’t have to be interesting to anyone else but the client but if someone else can look at a photograph where they have no connection with the people involved and feel an emotional connection with the people in the photograph, that’s when you know you’re on a different path than just smiles.

 

And technically, all of your photographs look pretty nice, the only thing was the shallow focus that missed in C1, but everything looks pretty nice. You seem to have a very good grasp of that.
