I really like your second self portrait. It's super cool that you can see not only you but inside the car and the buildings behind you! The reflection of your surroundings make the photo stronger in my opinion and allow us to understand what setting you're in. I would maybe suggest taking a picture of the Tarot cards facing the other direction. When they are face down it makes them look like regular playing cards and without the tarot box I would have assumed they were just regular cards. I think with the cards facing up it would show more character.
Hi Eleanor. I want to say to be more creative, but I honestly hate that phrase. So be more thoughtful with your composition, lighting and approach. The images of Vincent are too stiff, but I do very much appreciate that you did not photograph him actually playing tennis. So now take it a step further. Take him and his racquet somewhere visually interesting that has meaning and a wonderful sense of light. I like your use of reflections and shapes in the self portraits, but I would try to remove the camera from the image. Your last two are probably your weakest and least visually interesting and I think you should keep working on those. These are lacking in depth and visual interest. Good Luck!
