What I like: https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/120514/19/4fb1c2abaed70_m.jpg but prefer more vibrant colors

What to delete: https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/28370429 she looks cheap due to pose and flat light topped with cropped part of her feet
Verdict: Good work in general but some disparities in quality and themes are noted.

Great to see some photographers shooting only man. Your work is consistent and quite good. My only recommendation would be to watch your crops.
bad ones below:

avoid crutting off upper and lower extremities.
You should add some studio work as well.

Review me please! (:

Overall great port targeted to fashion hair and lifestyle with some little failed touches of glamour.
Posing is quite good but at times soulless
Kind of expected.
Your best look is on top  https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/140820/19/53f55ce5bb24f_m.jpg

Do me please.

Portfolio buddy photographer here, unfortunately I don't see anything on your port that warrants a good TF deal for the model. Your low key work is mostly flat light and no sophistication are noted in wardrobe or concepts.

Lighting https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/140706/14/53b9c63172faa_m.jpg need to be improved.

Your use of lens capabilities are a bit mismatch for the genre and your blatant push for shallow depth of field https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/140210/20/52f9a4aae2336_m.jpg can be a disservice.
Above:  face out of focus, shoulder waist in focus, butt out of focus. What bothers me most the flat light and lack of contrast and the head crop in the wrong spot.

Compliments on your look and some really good print work.

The port is pretty generic as far as poses and themes.
If it serves you it's fine, if not add some spices and sprinkles and show naughty with nice.

Could you possibly have time for me please?

I will give you a biased review. First of all bondage and feet fetish is a lucrative field for a model, the trouble is that everyone now noticed it and jumps into the bandwagon and the market is crowded with people thinking their modeling is the best thing after the sliced bread.

You should dump all of the amateur images and get someone decent to shoot with you. Make it classy. As is, your port will only attract GWCs. Your selection of lingerie is crap and makes you look like a cheap hooker.

Dump all the photos and start fresh. Get your photos retouched by someone who knows what he is doing. Smudge and blur is not photoshopping.

While posing act natural and be mindful of raising eyebrows that would raise wrinkles on forehead.

Study other photographer's work, contact other models, attend fetcon. Add charms and personality to your work. Don't reinvent the wheel, there is a huge competition out there.
That's all I can say.
Start the renovation now.
