Hi guys, C&C away. Simple bounce flash off an adjacent wall, knocked out the walled behind his head for "hot white" look. Shot with Portra 400NC in and Olympus OM10, lens was 50 1.8 at f11.
First...my standard intro to anyone "new" to me on this forum...
My comments or suggestions below are not a criticism of you, your model, your talent or skill. I offer them in a friendly tone of voice and with the sole intent to help you with a second POV and set of eyes. If you read sincere questions and simple suggestions as "criticism" of you, then you will miss how I am trying to help you. All smilies I post are genuine and sincere.
Of course this may be your own "style" or your own "vision" and I suppose we can assume that the images look just like they do because that is exactly how you like them. That is OK too. It just shows that there are differences of "opinion" on what looks good. IF these are exactly what you want and like, then by all means continue making your images look like that and have fun doing it. As I always say: "Follow your own muse."

My opinion: Too much space, not enough face.
I hope this comment helps you...or at least others might post a different opinion about how much they like "negative space" and such....
I like the overall image. Only comments would be that the BG looks pink to me which ruins the Hi key look. I would like to see more negative space for the composition to be more involving and possibly change the crop to include the chin.
