Am I going in the right direction with my photos? - and bio

So my old photos were not very good to say the least. I've been trying to get some different ones based on what was suggested and what I've seen from Alex.
The deadlift photo is the same as before (getting a tattoo on my arm within the next 2 weeks, so I will update that afterwards).
Atm I only got 2/4-pack and no six pack abs, but getting close, so soon I'll get a shirtless one too aswell.
I'll comment with my old photos below for reference to see if I get it or is going the completely wrong way.
My bio is:
195 cm, tall enough to always hit my head on the doorframe.
Lifting heavy weights, thus an innate fear of cardio... I do however like dancing and am an expert cuddler.
Weaknesses: Great ass, humor and a cute smile

Generally, I would say sorta. The issue is that these photos look pretty posed. You're staring off into space. which doesn't happen if you're taking them naturally. Try to get shit loads of shit loads of photos and eventually one of them will come out pretty good. Try to imagine the camera isn't even there

Yeah I see what you mean. I tend to just find a focus point to look at and try to not think of the camera, but maybe the effort in the focus point is what makes it seem so posed. Yeah I guess I'll just have to keep spamming photos and eventually I'll get something really good. Thanks!

The first one in the blue button up is fine, I like the lighting. But it looks too forced, a straight-on image in which I can't tell what you're doing. When you're doing a photoshoot try to make it look as candid as possible. People will look at that and know it's very forced. I think the one of you pouring wine is the best simply because it doesn't look forced and you're doing something cool in good lighting! Although the facial expression is very unfortunate, try smiling in the pictures or at least try to have a straight face. It was probably an accident though haha. You can try recreating it with a better facial expression I guess

The third one is good, first one is a bit too posed and the gym one is not very appealing, bad lighting as well. Try not to do these front facing selfies. The third one is good because it looks candid and you're doing something interesting. The posed nature along with the bad lighting of the other two make them look bad. So definetly take lots and lots of candid pictures and then figure out which ones have good lighting! Every photographer takes 100s of photos to select the proper one, you should do the same!
