Man, your new haircut is waaaaay better. The photo you posted above (Test-1) is a
huge step in the right direction. Worlds apart. Hats off to your Barber/hairdresser.
With your new look, I feel like you can start building an awesome archetype. I just finished watching Stranger Things Season 4, and your new look reminds me of some of the characters in that show.
Please watch that show so you know what I'm talking about.
If done correctly, you'll be able to create a 'bad boy, no fucks given' 80's kind of look. I'll attach some photos below so you know what I'm talking about. The messy hair '80's look' normally represents bad boys, singers, musicians, artists etc. People who don't follow the boring mainstream lifestyle. (Please note that you should only use that archetype if you feel like it's true to you. If not, then scratch that idea altogether).
Now, as for the actual photos you have taken, you definitely need to improve your poses. You're an attractive and photogenic guy, but it's very clear that you're still learning how to pose in front of the camera. I have a mate who is super good looking and gets laid a ton, but he is
terrible at taking photos. Every time I pull my phone out to take a photo of him,
he suddenly gets awkward and at that point, no matter how hard I try, none of the photos look good. Just keep practicing, Take photos every single day. Get comfortable in front of the camera. Experiment with different poses, angles and facial expressions. The learning process can be cringe, but it'll pay off. Just focus on enjoying the process of taking photos and by default, you'll start to improve.
Some other things I noticed are:
- Your t-shirt is
decent fitting, but it's not
perfect. I recommend spending a lot of time going to clothing stores and trying on as many black tee's as possible. Eventually, you'll find a company/brand that makes a fit that really suits your body type.
- I like the necklace. Look into mens model shots and see the different kinds of necklaces men wear. It suits you, but I feel like you could get a necklace that's a little bit more cool and interesting.
- Your upper arms seem very pale, and my eyes go towards it for some reason. It takes away from all the better features of the photo. If you can't get a tan, maybe eventually learn how to photoshop to make your arms slightly darker.
