For me from a technical viewpoint the pictures of "Perfect Wetlook" can simply not compare with than of vendors like Erik Elsas, or Viktor of wetfoto.com (according to me technically the most perfect photographer around here). Sometimes I tend to think that they are shot with the most ordinary pocket camera's. I think Perfect Wetlook should work on the quality of his pictures to be able to sell it with that name.

Since hair of the models is systematically dry I think this is something of a problem as well. Perhaps the photographer has just no understanding of what wetlook is about.

I agree. If you are going to sell photos you should at least invest in the basic tools to do the job. I haven't purchased any of the photos from this vendor. When I see glaring mistakes in basic photo skills I tend to run the other way. I never complain when I'm looking at FREE photos. After all, they are FREE! But, if I were going to buy them I'd be a lot more critical. I hate photos where the photographer is on the shady side of the model and everything exciting is BLACK and in shadow. Use reflectors (a $1.00 sheet of white cardboard is perfect). Use a polarized filter. Even a cheap one will do. Watch perspective. Shannon Wetlook is a great example of someone who actually works at the skills. They do a great job. You don't have to be Ansel Adams or a pro. But if you are going to charge for them, at least consider your customer. This is a comment in general, not about any particular website.

Sometimes, dry hair is in keeping with what the photographer/model prefers and may or may not suit everyone. For example, my issue would not be the dry hair but I think there are greater needs in the image quality department. As freindly suggestion, the white balance needs some severe attention, as do the photography angles. I wonder, is any post-editing done on these photos? If photos are to be sold, I think they should be rendered to the best quality they can. Some quick-fix fans may not care, and simply enjoy them as they are but they could EASILY be improved with little time. As simple auto-Levels adjustment in Photoshop Elements or the full-blown program if you have it, could correct the yellow/green cast that is all over these photos. Try shooting the model from a lower perspective so the legs are not drifting to a point. Maybe invest in a cheap reflector or light to cast better light on the model's and give the wet clothing a more glistening appeal (right now, it is a dull, lifeless light in the indoor setting, and that is understandable). Hope this helps.
