Guardian Camera Club: loo_rah's portfolio review

Night Car Park: This picture proves that a nice portrait can be taken anywhere. The night time gives a natural moodiness Photograph: loo_rah/flickr

Untitled: Another nice portrait, perhaps a trifle too 'rim-lit', but the face could have been dodged back more. The shadow adds to giving a shape to the figure. Be careful about using the angled camera too often Photograph: loo-rah/flickr

Waiting: A curious 'busy' picture that shouldn't have really worked, but it does. I think it's all to do with the child on the bike being still, sharp and well-lit Photograph: loo-rah/flickr

Luton town centre: Another busy picture that doesn't work quite so well. You need to be careful to not to break that old rule about things growing out of people - the motorbike behind the older woman's face spoils the photograph Photograph: loo-rah/flickr

open: Simple, effective picture, could be used in many situations, but perhaps 'closed' might be even more useful at the present time Photograph: loo-rah/flickr

razor Vs knife: Removing hair - bane of a woman's life. but why? society says we should use a sharp bladed instrument on our skin. I like the colour and treatment, with the soap almost like white tattooing, but is the message a bit extreme? Perhaps a macro picture of a blade on the skin might have been more subtle. The self-portraiture is interesting, though Photograph: loo_rah/flickr
