Really don't like the 'hands around the necks' looks too imposing. The guy's hand is large and covers most of her neck - looked almost aggressive. The girl was good but practically no input from the guy.
Some inconsistency with the photo info. On the last one your screen notes said F2.8 but the pic on the right hand side showed F4.0. You did not show us the setting at the start and what you would be looking at and the pros and cons of that choice. We only got to see the off camera position. You did not mention that you had an assistant with a reflecting board to add in fill light.

I like the poses and what is being said makes a lot of sense.

Yes so far

By Kyle Drotsky on 5/24/2020

All basic portraits knowledge, very poorly thought through and executed. None of the ideas that are put forward are original or something that makes you think.

By Erick R Araiza on 5/21/2020

A great introductory course in portrait photography for those with little experience.
