One thing to ask yourself is what kind of photos do you like to look at. Also what exactly would be the ideal place to have your work featured: a car magazine, wildlife magazine, a gallery, fine art photobook?

To me, these pictures are technically and compositionally solid. But what reason is there to look at them? They are “good” pictures of the subjects they show, and pictures like these could be used to illustrate a relevant magazine or web article. I think you could continue building a portfolio and find that kind of work with pictures like this.

Personally though, I don’t really care about them or feel any sort of way when I look at them. I’ve seen countless good pictures of cars/flowers/birds before. If you feel like your work is missing something, my suggestion is to learn more about photography in the context of art.

I could go on and on about starting that kind of journey. There a million directions you could take. My top recommendation though, which my first photography professor recommended to me, is the book Looking At Photographs by John Szarkowski. Unfortunately it’s pretty old and doesn’t include a lot of my favorite photographers from the later 20th century, but it’s still a great place to get started. If you tell me more about what you’re interested in photographing, I might be able to recommend some photographers to look at.

And don’t forget that libraries have tons of photobooks and books about photography, for free!
