These are all terrific, Bryce! I too am in awe of your minimalism (and robust technique!) - I learned many months ago that with my tendency to bop around I have to overshoot to ensure sharp focus, so I always have way too many shots to go through..........
Btw, that location in #3 is getting a workout- I hope at least it's in your backyard so you don't have to trek down to it multiple times a week!!
I really like #4, both for the pose and the positioning of the background . What was the lighting like for this one? He hardly cast a shadow (Which is good... there's just enough to look realistic, but not so much that it distracts from the background.)
That's impressive work, Bryce. I wish I could say the same about my own technique.
I really like the last one, I've never seen anything like it before, and it's pretty cool!
Thanks Quincy! BTW, do you have my room ready yet?
I really try to do at least one set that showcases something about the individual and the activities that are important to them. In this case, the subject is really into free style and impromptu dance. Although I'm much more comfortable with a sports type theme, I have a couple others that I like, but this was my favorite.

Hey, if ya find something that works, keep using it! That location is about ten minutes from my home, it also has that cool bridge and a number of other settings that work well. Can get a lot of looks in one spot.
I'm not sure what my "Robust Technique" means or is, but thanks just the same.

Got the idea on the positioning of the brick inserts from an "opposing angles" drawing I saw somewhere. It was lit with a SB-800 and a shoot through, camera left set about 1 stop above ambient, and a BAWR was used to the right of the subject.

I never spray and pray, (took 62 shots this session) and I've got my workflow down to be pretty speedy and most importantly....
Very little Post...

I refer to my brother as being "robust" but none of the above is what I actually mean.

Yeah. I know but not as funny. BTW, a Bare Assed White Republican could serve the same purpose.

Yeah, now that you mention it, Rush Limbaugh's butt is most likely big enough to do the trick!
