I need some feedback about my portfolio as it is now? what do I need in it? what pics should come out, because I'm printing it this weekend and printing is costly.

Thanks

Casino--the standard fashion build for guys that I've heard is 6' to 6'2-4", size 40-42(44) coat.  You've got the height, but the build is different.  That doesn't close all possibilities but may tell you to find the renegades among designers.  I interpret your MM portfolio as representing an artist's model, someone who fits the bill for conceptual or natural fine art.

I would say my favorite image is the one of you with the Micky D's sign behind you. I love shots like that with dark skys. My least favorite is the one on the bottom with the crazy red and blue colors. Just my opinion but those are my fave and least fave

You failed to give us the most important piece of information...who is it you will be presenting these prints to and what is the objective?  Without knowing that we're as lost as you.

I'm going to go to the open calls at wilhelmina, La models, Affinity, Next, Ford, and BMG here in LA next week.  I want to do runway work.

Hmmm, you're gonna walk in to a tough crowd. I see only one image with any remote possibility to work in your favor, but that's me, not them.  Oh, and leave the lip ring at home...

Thats funny because I really am just so so on that pic.  I guess everyones opinion on beauty is different.  I don't really want commercial look I don't even think my look exists....yet.  The funny thing about the lipring is 3 years ago I went to an open call at Affinity SF that my friend dragged me to and they offered me a contract a week later....with the lipring.  At the time I really had other interest and things going on and didn't start persuing it again til 4 months ago.  But in the end I've never been anything typical.
