portraiture project

so these are a few more im working on at the moment. i cant decide how much the softness/grain in a couple of these bothers me (as opposed to the slightly sharper ones) so speak up.

Hunter, I like the ones where there is a gradual progression from sharpness to focus. The first and the last one work the best for me. The second one is lacking in that effect. On the other hand, i really do enjoy the first image, but it has a much more realistic aspect to it than the others, so im not sure how well it fits. But in general I really likes these, beautiful lines, muy bueno

me gusta mas. I like the black and white and the skin has nice tones.

by the way for those of you who dont know, im trying to do sort of a short series of images as a collective portrait. it will be a series within a series using something like 6 or 7 models, each with their own "narrative" that uses several photos to establish an arbitrary identity, either aesthetic or otherwise...

I find your compositions and use of line very interesting in the last four images. The top image, however, feels contrived and does not hold my interest.

The smile doesn't work for me in the first one. I like the composition in the second one a lot, but I don't like the lack of focus in the bottom. I like what you've done in the last three.

I agree with Leslie and Brittany, for some reason seeing her smile and eyes together gives me... too much of a connection? I like the focus on the form in the other images and having both in the first takes away from that, maybe images of each part separately. Loving the rest though! Keep it up, I wanna see more!
