Haven't watched more than the beginning, but if you don't mind sacrificing the eyes of a portrait subject, then his style is fine. But if you believe that the eyes are the windows to the soul, then the way he often leaves the top half of the eyes (or more) in no-detail darkness is a little maddening. Perhaps some of the images were taken when he was just learning, but if you just look at the shadows on the faces, he makes some really bad choices on many of the women.
