I think your most successful photos were your portraits without someone in them. I especially enjoy how you used your shutter speed to create movement in the photo with the shoes. Makes it more intriguing. With your first 4 photos I would like to see more intention behind the image. They seem somewhat random instead of being portraits.
Hi Julia. I would go back to the drawing board on all of these. They don't go far enough, nor are they creative enough. The images of your mom are too safe. Meaning, your mom is doing whatever she is doing and you are photographing her while doing it. You need to engage her more and you need to make her more of the process. Directness! You also need to consider the backgrounds and environments more. You need to build the portrait, not just show a human being in the frame. As for the self portraits, the first one is a basic profile photo, nothing more. On top of that, it's poorly exposed and has not been edited well. Your second one is better, but not great, again, consider the environment and how to build a composition. Your last two images are getting there, but once again are not visually interesting. Give us more to look at, and I don't necessarily mean more things or more space, I mean more content. Create something that visually matters and that entices us! Good Luck!
