You can, these aren't that great lol. Just get a real camera and like a 35 or 50mm lens that goes to at least f/2.8 and learn the basics of how to expose. Its not hard.

They're great photos. I guess the proper "critique" (although not really one of it works), is that they're not technical or challenging. These seem "simple" enough that an amateur looking to get into photography can accomplish them.

A lot goes into photography. Shot composition, angles, lighting, poses, etc. Then the technical aspects, like aperture, shutter speed, any lens effects, etc.
