Suggestions Please??

[xtitox]

Hey everyone! I am new to photography and have been shooting for the past couple of months. I recently started shooting models on location and posted some of my best pics that I have (atleast so I think). Im looking for suggestions on how I can make my shots look better. I posted pics just a little while ago. Im looking for more suggestions on how I can make the shots look more on a professional level. Any tips or suggestions will be greatly appreciated!

Thanks everyone!

It's always best to post the pictures in the thread.

Your focus is soft on most of the images and you have cropping issues where you chop parts of the model out of the frame in unpleasing ways.

thank you for the feedback! Yea I though that my focus was off on most of the shots. I have tried everything I could to make the images more sharper. So basically, try to get the models whole body in the shot no matter what??

could you elaborate more on the unpleasing cropping issues?? Because I think that I have the whole models body in the shots except for one, and I actually did that on purpose cause it was more of a headshot.

When you photograph a standing fashion or clothing model, it is a safe bet that 80% of the time, the camera needs to be turned from the "landscape" orientation, to the "portrait" orientation. I looked at your shots...all of the horizontals of the blonde woman...should have been "talls". All of them.

I agree.
The images are too "soft", try to use a smaller aperture it will help, using the sharper part of the lens, but obviously the dof will be extended
