I have cancelled my VIP subscription and would like to cut my port down to 20-30 photos. I would greatly appreciate any opinions on which photo(s) should go! Thanks a bunch  Nov 13 12 09:53 am Link I wouldn't say your stuff "sucks" by any stretch of the imagination. But it could use a good culling based on many of your shots showing the say basic thing. I get you've done some commercial model. Pick one & ditch the rest:         Nov 13 12 10:07 am Link Op, you have so much redundancy in your 96 shots that I am sure you can delete the first 40-50 all by yourself before it starts to become difficult to make decisions. You just have to get to it. Nov 13 12 11:06 am Link For starters, consider dumping: https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/26304466 Duplicates, but neither version is at all compelling or interesting. https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/26304466 Actually, any of that first row that are related to the tearsheets at the bottom of the general port. https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/25775791 You're buried in the artsy-fartsiness and in a most unflattering way. https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/21328589 Boring. https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/20169505 The picture is about the makeup. https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/16375724 Godawful hair and makeup. Horribly unflattering look for you. https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/27050082 Awful makeup, bad expression and pose. https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/29666565 Terrible snapshot. https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/20791625 No. Just no. https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/19668071 Way too bright to the point of blowout. https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/18074234 Oh, the horror... https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/22148923 So much wrong with this one. https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/20169597 Bright/blown-out. You're buried in hairstyle and wardrobe. Very unflattering. https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/24961501 This might help a photographer's port. Not a model's. https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/24961502 Bad angle. Don't wanna see the top of your head and out-of-focus legs. https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/21627143 Badly overprocessed. Nov 13 12 12:22 pm Link Awesome, thanks for the input! I agree.

Fleming Design wrote: Nov 13 12 12:53 pm Link I agree with a couple of your suggestions, so thanks. Some harsh words there though! haha. No worries.

Good luck Nov 13 12 01:12 pm Link BrittneyBee wrote: You asked which images sucked. I calls 'em like I sees 'em and when I'm giving feedback on that many images I cut to the chase. Nov 13 12 01:21 pm Link Come on BB, you deleted 25 shots and it didn't kill you. Take a deep breath and slash another 25! Get down to your goal of 20-30 and you will have a strong, tight portfolio. You can do it. Nov 14 12 12:15 pm Link Major suckage is still there. Take Fleming's advice and keep whittling. The next to go:  Terribly unflattering hair and awful makeup.  The image is soft and badly composed. Too much dead space above you and your hand is chopped off. Bad snapshot.  Top of your head is in focus. The rest of you is not. And then there are those oversized fake eyelashes. If you want to keep a shot with something close to this angle, you've got the one of you at the edge of the swimming pool. That's a well done shot. Nov 15 12 06:01 am Link Not a useful comment, but you actually do look notably great in hats and sweaters. Nov 15 12 07:08 am Link I was going to tell you to keep the ones I shoot and pitch the rest but see I'm not there anyway. I have a terrible time deciding who my favorite "children" are but started grouping like shots together. Start with two pics and decide which one you like best of that two. Then keep going with three piles. Keepers, maybes, nopes. Once you have sorted all your like style groups lay out all the keepers. If you need to go back to the maybes to fill in gaps.
