Suggestions? Not from me. Just keep posting, those shots a great! Really nice lighting, care to share your methods? I don't think they are just natural light, are they?

Thanks.
Most of it is all natural light. I used a diffusion disc and a white reflection disc.

It was an overcast day and for most of the shots i positioned him in the shadow of the rock overhang, where the light was soft and diffused.

Then i bounced a little light in and i pulled my usual tricks in photoshop.

The picture 2nd to the right was taken at 10pm with no moon f2.8

I love these! Really great natural light shots. I tend to be a natural light portrait photographer and I think these are very well done!

Nice work. I too like the lighting and exposures. The composition is good and keeps itself interesting. Good masculine poses throughout too. Well done.

I'm not a portrait photographer and I'm not into dudes but those are really some great shots. The light looks very natural. The poses are great - very comfortable looking. He should be very happy with your work. I'd be doubly grateful if you made me look that good (of course you'd be starting out with a far inferior model )

edit: Oh, and I like how you went for the subtle colors except for the eyes in post.

Bouncing the light in to lighten the shadow side is the part I need to learn. I always forget that, it makes all the difference. Thanks.
