Worst - Cute bridal shot - great bust line!!!... However, I don't think it does much for your MM port.

Thanks so much! smile (I agree with the worst, but it's my most viewed picture, so it's gotta stay for now, haha)

only because of the hand pulling the breasts together to cover them.

Thank you,

Removed my 'worst' shot since last time I was here! Can you tell me my new worst image? smile

Best - So HOT!!!! Still love this one!! Simple but stunning!
https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/120416/03/4f8bee3eabcbf_m.jpg

Worst - I don't care for your pose on this one. The arm/head area has no breathing room!! I also don't care for the light used on it. That is not your fault though.

https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/121206/18/50c157fbed80a_m.jpg

Worst - Your left arm/wrist are foreshortened/bunched and they don't look good to me. Great area and idea though!!

Ok, I'm not just saying this, but I don't think you have a bad shot in your port. I'm still learning, so I know I have a few in mine. I'd love to know which one you think should go! Thanks!

Best - Love the pose and light for this shot! Great model choice too.
https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/27744865 18+

Best 2 - Super cute model and I love the tones you used on this shot! I wish her pose was more spread out and not so basic. I still LOVE it though!!
https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/110504/06/4dc15b53265f6_m.jpg

Worst - Cute model... nice light... It just looks like a moodless test shot to me.

Best - Great shot of you! I wish you had more in this quality range! I love how the whole look is finished out and that it matches your location!
https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/080612/12/48515552814dc_m.jpg

Best 2 - Awesome location and style!!
https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/111009/15/4e9219ad484e0_m.jpg

Worst - Your left arm is blown out causing it to get lost in the blown out sky. On top of that I don't feel that this shot does you justice.
https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/111009/13/4e920a946ec23_m.jpg

See if you can land more photographers like the one that did this shoot for you (Jeff White)...

Try to add a few more styles. Most of your work is very similar.

This is my favorite in your port because it is so natural and the happiness looks genuine.

This is my least favorite mainly because I don't like the dress choice.

Best - Great natural light! Love the model and simple location for this!!
https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/120612/09/4fd772099ad3d_m.jpg

Worst - It is a cool shot... but I would rather see a model shot in it's place.
https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/120525/12/4fbfddc9b2f50_m.jpg

Worst 2 - I get that you are going for an interesting crop on this. I would just balance out the yin and yang - meaning have an equal portion of dark to light. There is a lot of white space on this shot.
https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/121130/13/50b920152f455_m.jpg

In your port you have a lot of white on white. I would suggest getting out and shooting on location for more of your work. Your location shots are great!!! If you are stuck in the studio... get some more background color options to change it up.

Worst - Don't hate me! You look very cold and like someone caught you using the natural potty. The look does not have a finished out feel to it. The head peice needs a super funky outfit to go with it.

Worst - The flash is to bright and the framing needs to be tighter on your subject. The surrounding space does not help tell a/the story.
