You actually have some really cool pics... however I would cut down to half of what you have.

Apologies!
Your port is not terrible, but I would rather not look at it again ever... I was bored. And you have some pics that you look super uncomfortable because they are very awkward poses.

Thanks so much for your input and honesty. smile

I have noticed that I DO pose super awkward, and I am not fluid in my movements....more angular movements. I guess it shows more than I wanted. Once I update my port next month, would you consider looking again? (Even though you probably really do not want to!) I value your input because I really adore your work. You have some spectacular shots and a nice eye for concept. I am here to grow and learn.

Thank you for the compliments, and more so for taking it like a champ. I sure will look at it again.

I'm just going to save it... Because if I went at it, it would be a roast comedy central style. You managed to take the cheesiest prop in photography to a whole new level, that danger tape is like a mouse dream... cheese everywhere. The rest of them, I don't even know what to say.... Honestly I don't have any advice other than never, ever ever quit your day job.

You have two or three good pics... one or two that are not good at all. Edit down.

Bahaha I love, thanks asshole smile  I'll never quit the day job, I shoot for art and fun.  For the record, it was the first time I used tape.. and diet coke cans for hair rollers.

Find what you where you want to take your modeling. It is very different to model lingerie than it is to model for ice cream... oh wait no it is not... bad example... more like the difference between modeling a fitness add to an STD prevention add. And work towards that, as your pics now just look like the best pics anyone would have dreamed of for their high school yearbook.

Its actually horrible, it seems like you've shot with a few different people, however, you have either chosen to work with people who love to abuse photoshop (looks like they used paint instead of photoshop) or you or one of your loved ones decided to get all artistic with the filters. Back off of them!
   I just don't think I can give you any tips. Except find a semi decent photographer and try again? And I am shocked that this is your only source of income... I would expect a little more quality with that statement, and you have been here since 2008...

So I'm not a huge fan of your port, but it is more for personal preference, as you actually do have some good shots, however I would edit down a little, and Get the F@#$ off that pretty car!!! you are going to scratch it!

Its not bad, you actually have some very interesting images, but it is extremely repetitive. I could have seen your whole port in 4 images.

There is nothing horrible that needs to go, however there are a few that are not quite up to your better ones, or are repetitive, so I would edit down a little.

You have shot 3 people...
You have been shooting for 7 years....
Your lighting is quite lame....
You don't know how to direct someone....
What were you shooting before?
Fast learner you are not  my friend.
