Advice on photos please :) Trying to decide my level of professionalism/quality
For me:
Overall, good job.
#1: the light is flat, which many people do not care for. I don't see flash, so it was just the light where you were located? Excellent focus, i like the angle, pose, and crop. And DoF.
#2: I can't tell what's actually in focus, so that's the biggest downside for me. I think you've made effective use of a matte look, and the color toning is very nice. Good DoF, although I'd crop out some of the space on the left to get her out of the center. It looks like you were shooting through something?
#3: Excellent focus, color, toning, retouching (if there was any) and light. Not a fan of the 50mm (here or #1) but well executed, IMO. I'm not sure I'm loving the hands in this crop; perhaps placing them differently would be better?
The question you must ask yourself is, can you do this consistently and on demand? That's a sometimes definition of "pro". Quality-wise, I think you're doing quite well. You just need an 85mm lens
My $0.02, of course.
