Hi guys,
My name is Darryl and I'm a fashion, beauty and lifestyle photographer based in Orange County CA. I have been shooting for about 3 years and would love some feedback on my images and retouching. I'm still experimenting and learning new things everyday while shooting. Any suggestions on my images including lighting, model choice, wardrobe and retouching would be extremely helpful! I will post a few of my images for you to go off of. Thank you in advance for any help given. If you like you can also view more of my work on my website Www.darryl-garcia.com or my instagram @darryl_garcia.

1) I love it. The "lines on the face" idea can only be done right or wrong. You did a great job by making it look not too forced.
2) I think this is the weakest piece you've linked. The pose looks really confused.
3) Great choice of green against the red hair. Could be a little more exposed though.
4) Amazing use of colored lighting. However, the jaw looks really tight. Also, the upper lip gets "lost" in the shot. This usually happens when the upper lip is a darker shade of lipstick compared to the bottom.
5) I don't know what specific image this is supposed to link because it's an entire section of your site?
6) Amazing! This one is tied for my favorite with the first image!
7) Great use of colors and lighting. The crop is a little off center / awkward for me.
Overall, there's some really strong stuff in there. Don't be afraid to "go bold" because those images are your best work.
