Need access to the drive, can't see them.

Maybe just post to imgur?

You can just edit the share settings like this and give us a link to the drive.

@chado

I was able to scroll through them.
TBH I wasn’t a fan of any of them.

I know this was a practice shoot though you will be better.

One thing I think is huge to focus on is finding a really good setting/backdrop that looks great without you in it. That way when you put yourself into the picture you just compliment everything else.

I would watch some YouTube videos on self portrait photography. Once I have some time tonight I’ll link a few that I’ve been looking at.

Keep going at the goals man. You’re setting a standard for everyone else.

They look great! I like 3 n 4 the most, humour in those shots come through the best while you still look good yourself. #3 if I had to vote on one. Fuck thats it, I'm not even waiting for my next paycheck im getting a camera ASAP. 3 is the best cuz it looks like someone could of just walked in on you with your little pet on your shoulder unannounced while your just chillin on your phone. The other ones it looks like your are doing a photoshoot in your room even though they still look good.

I think this one is the best one. Maybe try it on Photofeeler and see if it does well.

The magic of practice

@chado

Not sure which thread to respond in. The other photos in other thread do look better much improved.

I’ll provide a few examples of what I mean by making the seen look good. Also just good posing.

The dude with the beard is a good bro/mentor of mine. You can trust what he has to say as he always has a baddie in rotation.

But you’ll see he isn’t traditionally pretty. Still knows how to pose in photos though to maximize his look.

But see how the scenes are absolutely awesome even without them in the pictures.

Take your avatar for example. Beach shots are great because the beach itself is awesome. Basically I’m saying to take photos in really cool spots simply haha.

Also work on eye placement in your photos. That takes time. A tip I learned is look at the photographers elbows.

I put that Greg O galager guy as an example for you as you fit his look. Lean muscular and pretty (no homo). Magic fox works well for you too.

I’m putting my friend in here as an example showing for anyone reading this.You don’t have to look like a model to look really good in photos or to fuck hot girls.

Hopefully those pictures Prove a good photo can make you look 20 times better than you are.

I also hope it show you guys don’t need to look like models to fuck hot girls you just need to look like a man.

@chado I would argue background makes a tad bit of difference. think of the difference between mirror shirtless selfie versus your avatar. Both are shirtless pics but which one does better?

The eye placement I suggested actually looks away from the camera a bit.

Either way though might just be complicating this a bit too much. Moral of the story is to just take really good photos.

Found this thread with your abs shown. I'd go with 3. But if you can make 2 look more natural, I'd take 2 (2 looks like a photoshoot).

[SIGMA_1234]

2 is the photo with your feet and whole body. You can actually use it now in your profile and test how well it does for you. If I had your abs and build, I would show off my body more often. So show off full-body, as much as possible.

Btw, you using your profile picture in your Tinder profile? I believe that should be there, too.
