Always interested in ways to improve. Thanks!

The photo with the nipples tied is lit SO well! If you could light faces that way....wow. I'd like to see what you were capable of with those kinds of lighting skills...

I'd be grateful to hear that one thing.  More than one if you like!  I need a fresh perspective.

I love your fashion shots, and the black and whites. The headshots are very commercial looking...but you have definite skills. I think you excell at fashion shooting though smile

I like the pics with the men's wear look. Very sexy! I would try to do some beauty work, or at least get a good clear headshot for your port smile

Thanks!

I think your hair is too mousey for your attitiude. Maybe a fiery red, or darker brown would help? Nice work though smile

haha I've heard that before. I don't particularly understand it, but I'd LOVE to be fiery red smile I'll work on that tongue

thanks!

I really like some of your photos, they seem very soulfull. Some of the others could use some work. The lighting seems dull on some making the images seem flat.

Thanks!! Actually my monitor needed calibration - and MM does not let you keep comments and just replace images... will update the adjusted images! thanks again..

PS: Hope to get time to shoot you at the next shoot out for sure...

Your photos feel candid. As though they (people) were there, and you just shot them. Kinda like paparazzi. You know what I mean? I think you could do quite well at that, and selling your pics to the celebrity dish-mags. If you want to do photos more around models, work more with your lighting to create light and shadows.

Thanx! I know what you mean and appreciate your comments smile Lighting is exactly what I'm working on so I'd say you're spot on smile Hope you feel better soon and thanx once again!

Some of your photos look shakey. Try using a tripod. I like the balloon photos the best.

You are so beautiful, and you photograph much taller than you are smile I would say to try some creative concepts. Wild hair and make-up, high-fashion clothing...
you can do anything you set out to do!

Thanks smile I woudl say to be more creative with your angles, you could move around the models and shoot from above, below, sidways, etc. not always shooting from infront will help add a lot of variety.

You have a beautiful face, but like Tyra Banks, you have a large forehead. I would suggest blunt cut bangs, or layered bangs that can sweep across it. I think it will help your look dramatically! smile

Your current hair style is really not helping you. I can't believe that the last photo in your port is the same girl! That style with the flowing hair is fantastic. The new style is too boxy and you have a face that should be SEEN not covered up!

You have very lovely- but large lips, try working on facial expressions, and maybe relax your mouth more, or even part your lips a little.
