Photo 1 might need some distortion correction as his face looks a little odd.

I like them. The look of the first one is good (except for the distortion, but that should be an easy fix).

#2 and #3 he looks uncomfortable.

What focal length was used? Generally the shorter the lens the more distortion.

Yeah, super wide angle focal lengths and close ups usually aren't good together for face portraits.

Yes it looks better.

I'd remove the dark vertical bit on the right side (his left) as it adds nothing to the image and is somewhat distracting.

the other two images are nicely lit but the backgrounds are very plain and uninteresting. Almost could be studio shots w/ those types of backgrounds. Not saying they're bad, but a bit bland.
