I came across this add (sorry it’s in french):

Bonjours !
J’aimerais offrir mes service comme photographe à ceux et celles qui aurais besoin de mes services…
J’ai beaucoup d’expérience comme vous pouvez voir..
mon site web   http://www.freelanceunderground.ca

Vous donnez ce que vous voulez…..Pas d’obligation…
Je suis un genre de Robin des Bois :o)

The translation: Hi, I would like to offer my service as a photograph for those who need it. As you can see I have a lot of experience. You give what you want..no obligation. You could say I’m like Robin Wood.

 

Ok technically he is not really a fauxtographer since the wage is optional but the fact that he claim to have a lot of experience left a bad taste in my mouth considering his website. I am studying in photography so you could say I have low experience, and I know I could deliver better pictures.

On the pictures 9947 and 9548 the background is brighter than your subject, next time try to use a flash for your indoor shoot, and make it bounce form the ceiling or the wall behind you, it make a huge difference without the amateur flash look. This way your subject will be more lighted and it will allow you to decrease one stop or two from your camera (and allow you to shoot at a lower iso). I like the rusty chair look, it draw attention to the ring, I only saw the small ring on second look thought. You have a nice sense of composition, the flaws comes from a lack of technique. Of course I didn’t see all your picture but from this small sample but I’ll say that your boss was wrong to criticize so much.
