How are these pics?
I don't think they're much better than the last photoshoot I did...
But I worked with what I had.

I noticed you are getting better at placing your subject in good places.
But now you need to work on your exposure.
In most of your pictures the background is blinding and the subject is dark.
or
the background and the subject are dark.
So in better words.
"You need contrast."
Here is what you can do to fix it.
- Have your subject sit in bright areas.
- don't put your subject behind something that casts an awkward shadow.
- buy a cheap reflector
- use flash (not recommended unless you know what you are doing)

I'm not sure I why I didn't mention this earlier but
there is this guy on youtube that gives all kinds of pointers for photographers.
here is his channel

I don't know anything about photographing but it looks good to me, the pro's will point out in the right direction I'm sure.

A huge pro-tip besides positioning the subject as Critical said is to see where the light is hitting your camera itself. If there is a strong beam hitting your camera put a hand up so ad a shadow over your lens or move a bit so you as the shooter are not in direct light. Also try not to have the light behind the subject so much as that is probably why you are getting inconsistent exposure (also mess with your white balance). Now if you're going for a silhouette that is a different story. Your framing is improving but you still have a lot of work with your focus points, zoom all the way in to set your focus then zoom back out to set your frame, then click boom. I personally don't use a tripod but you may want to invest in a midgrade one as some shots are easier to achieve with one. Obvi any questions you know what to do guy.

Thats a really good idea for the lighting, I wouldn't have thought of that. When I was there I was like, "wtf my shit keeps changing!" because it would light up the background, when I wasn't trying to. I'll definitely keep that in mind for next time.
And I never thought of zooming in to set the focus either, that'd be helpful too...
