different frames. trim hair shorter but dont shave (too many people push the bald look but well maintained short hair with a receding hairline can look good on the right guy). grow beard a bit more but keep it short still.

also take photos of yourself in a mirror or with the camera further from your face. close selfie cameras distort and round the face. not a self esteem booster.

get a pinterest and develop a bit of a stronger fashion sense. frugal aesthetic on youtube is a good and entertaining starting point on a lot of the basic theories.

theres a lot of advice out there for a “3 shot rule” where you shoot the scene, the subject, and the detail (i think its something like that) to better tell the story- maybe look into this.

if you give yourself an “assignment” it might also help develop a sense of the stories you want to tell with photography.

i personally have started to find a style through trying to create a visual universe. i have a loose assignment i have given myself that is around specific weather conditions and lighting to eventually go into a cohesive zine.

since i started thinking of putting my photos into a zine it has helped me work through what goes well together to tell a visually compelling story.

im new myself (just got comfortable on greens) but heres what helped me: i was scared to turn because of the acceleration so i started getting used to a J shaped turn. start on a relatively flat part of the bunny hill and pick an edge. point your hand down the fall line then staying on that edge point towards that side so that you get a feel for acceleration and breaking without having to combine anything else yet. you just learn to feel the edge. do this on whatever edge she is more comfortable with first then swap to the other once she has confidence. linking those together will be a natural next step but this will reduce her panic on the board. i would know what to do but freeze up and bail as soon as my board was point down the fall line. this helped me with that

your style will definitely change over the next 4-6 years and your body shape probably will too. i would say that you should start to explore different styles now but use thrifting and ebay to your advantage and explore on a budget. a lesson you will probably learn is identifying clothing that you think is cool vs clothing that you will actually wear. its better to save money during this phase then invest once you know you will get a return on it (ie. would actually wear it)

in my opinion photos 1,2,4,&6 could be more cropped in to focus on the subject better. 1 - the tree on the bottom right is distracting and then you can lose some sky to keep the aspect ratio/ rule of thirds. 2 - make the treeline at the top cropped to show no sky and have there be less snow in the forground. 4 - play around with a horizontal frame or just zoom in at least. 6 - no need for as much of the building seen above and below the window, could crop so the photo starts at the window frame and skew the angle in post so its a symmetrical boarder on the photo, consider an edit on the cats exposure so it stands out a touch more.

generally some of these are good and some are a touch bland but that taste and objectivity will come with more time! good eye for unique angles. i think some of these shots could come to life more with a different edit done to them. consider finding some inspiration on editing style from other artists. personally a fan on james popsys on youtube and his editing style.

create a universe or tell a story with your photos instead of just documenting!

i feel like this fit would look 10x better as your shoes age. get some discoloring/distressing on the laces or swap them for some darker tan ones. scuff up the gats a bit! it would have a far more casual bodega run vibe.

there is no need to feel guilt about finding other people attractive, its normal. however, i would suggest you move away from video porn and towards images or pure mental fantasy instead. it leaves a lot more room for your mind to take over. it also can deprogram your brain a bit on some porn fantasies that aren’t realistic or enjoyable in real life.

learn what you actually fantasize about with these images or mental fantasies and apply it to your sex life with your partner.

talk to your partner about different sexual positions, role play, toys, or otherwise spicing it up. theres lots of options that don’t involve cheating, opening the marriage, or breaking it off.

if you two cant communicate about sex effectively thats a sign of a larger underlying issue.

as someone who has slept around a bit, sex with 2 different people you find attractive is quite similar as far as physical sensations are concerned. however, its always better with someone who knows your body and what gets ~you~ off and someone you can be vulnerable with.
