Nothing about the shots really screams 'prostitutes' to me.

Some of the shots are decent, some pretty bad ones in there though, for example:
Blurry, out of focus, grainy, blown highlights, awkward poses.

Sometimes it is better to self-censor and only publish your very best images.

It's true. Sometimes it's better to publish only the best pictures. But my portfolio is just created. I do not have a large selection of works for publication.

It's ALWAYS better to publish only the best pictures. It's way better to not have a portfolio at all, than to have a bad one....

No one cares how long are you in the business, only how good is your work. Who do you think will hire you, if you show him/her these photos?

Can I just ask for some info about the color grading here? I like the cool, desaturated look a lot

Participated in the session for beginners. The only photographic credits was a flash of light.
Photo placed on facebook lost quality.

Soon I will publish only the good work. Currently I care assessment and opinion of others. So do not call their professional work.

Again, I invite you to comment on my work on facebook. I would like to gather a majority opinion in one placehttp://www.facebook.com/pages/Rafał-Schneider-PHOTOGRAPHY/202906789755643

I am not a FB member and have no intention of ever becoming one. And I will not help FB by leaving comments there.

I doubt I am the only one who feels that way so, if you want to learn photography instead of who knows what, post the images here and you will get comments.

I like where you were going with the photos. I am a fan of this look, almost a dirty high fashion type of photography. I would just watch the focus and exposure but overall nice job.

This to me screams that you are just pimping out your Facebook page.

No one is going to comment there for you.

You came HERE... asking for comments... so post HERE... and you will get comments HERE.

You want comments on your Facebook page only? Then ask the people that are already friends with you there.

Otherwise stop being so lazy and post here, and come back to see what people say. It's not the friggin' hard.

Besides... do you *REALLY* want us to post NEGATIVE comments on your photos publicly in a place that it appears you're trying to use to market yourself? If you ask us for feedback, not ALL of it is going to be good... so it's probably in your best interest to ask for feedback HERE anyway... but POSTING your photos... HERE.
