You might reconsider cropping number four to make it a vertical.

^^Agreed^^
Skin tones look a bit muddy, unless of course that was the intention, #4 maybe a gridded head on her face could bring her up?
As for the firearm content, I have no issues with guns but do have a few observations:
Photo #2, she's gonna have a hard time getting a sight picture with the scope covers in place.
Photo #3, safety selector is set to Fire on the AR, that's a no no in my book.
B hell when you do a photo #shoot#.....
On the photos....
I am not sure to ask..
guns? there are guns?
or...
Girl? There was a girl?
Seriously.
The criticism I do have is that the shirt causes the guns to meld into the photo. The Galil for sure on that point. The AR and suppressors look ok, and would work if there was a lighter background.
The sunglasses are back lit and you can see here eyes witch is a bit distracting. But the nickle plated 1911 looks good and without scratches.
A bit of lighting on the right side (observer view) might have helped pump it up a bit.
I like what I see overall and the weapons are clean without scuffing.
I don't mind the darkness of 1, 2, and 4. I think it contributes to their "noire"quality. I know I'm outspoken on this but I've never liked images of people in sunglasses other than in fashion shots.
I know it';s a safety issue. But they would be more dramatic if she had her finger on the trigger. It would look like she's ready for business. She doesn;t have a natural stance in pictures 2 and 4. They look staged like she was handed the gun and told to look like she's firing them. Nice shots overall.
As to the safety selector I have to strongly disagree. On an AR there are 2 appropriately safe conditions. First (as pictured) is with the hammer down, or uncocked, or with the safety on. There is no way to put an uncocked AR into the safe position. I would argue the hammer down position is safer as there is absolutely no way for it to fire/AD/ND. The same can be said for many firearms and the 1911 is another classic example of either hammer down/no safe, or cocked and safe.
No more discussion about the guns, folks.
The only thing that is permitted here are the technical aspects of the shoot, as it pertains to lighting, skin tones, etc.
There will be no debating this. We're getting some pushback on this thread, so we're asking for full cooperation on this point.
Thanks.
