I know i am new and still just a GWC, but I would still love some constructive crits on my images. If you have time let me know what i can do to make it better.

You are off to a good start. What I notice in particular is that you have imagination and, in my opinion, that is the most important quality that a photog can have.

I really like your figure abstracts.  The glamour model stuff is sorta average.
Not bad but average.

And there in lies the problem every time I try a Glam model shoot, I run into so many tech problems that I end up fiddeling instead of shooting. It sucks.

Have youn tried taking 200 pix in an hour??  Great models and lots of pix. One of the things  BT does.  4-5 pix out of 200 are bound to be way good.  I am just a GWC but I look a lot.

I try to, but then the light is to harsh, then the shadows are to harsh, I just cant get into a flow. My home studio is Basic(Thats beeing complimentary to it) And I am just not getting it balanced. Time......., but who has that.

Dude you are living in one of the best looking areas in the world.  GET OUTSIDE!
Are you using digital cameras or film?  If digital then look at your histogram for
proper exposure.  If film without a good metter use the f/16 rule.  Bring the
same creative view you are using to shooting models.

I know I should go shoot outside. But until I get this damn studio working I cant get my mind focused on anything else. I will try going more dramatic with the glam, That may help.
