Oh, and I just remembered my partner and I are going out to Syracuse area to visit a good friend of ours at some point in the not so distant future... just sayin

When you know your plans - hit me up. Maybe we can shoot something!

I'm definately interested...

I am going to go with meh. Sorry, I think there is something there that is waiting to happen, and that you will bump into wow imagery some day soonish, but at the moment there is nothing that tugs at me and feels full of life and energy. You have some shock value images, but even they make me feel a little ho hum.

There are some images that give me hope, and that would have me looking back some day in the not so distant future.

I will give this image the image of my day in your portfolio: https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/30395210

Thank you for taking the time and for the honest opinion.   Love your port, BTW

I am going to go with the upper end of meh. And I swear it is only as I said earlier it takes really impressive art nude work to get me to really turn my head. Your art nude work is however pretty great- and there are enough that make me want to edge into fantastic, but I just cannot bring myself to it. Quality is good- and I feel your portfolio has good energy and evokes an emotion in me. So it is good!

I will say however that your avatar jumped out at me- in large part because of the model and her eyes- and well, that I would absolutely love to work with her!

I will go with upper end of meh with your portfolio. If it was not for the work of one model in particular in your portfolio I would go with a full meh. If you can get more images with the feel and energy that you had with this shoot with this model: https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/30148912 I will enjoy my viewing experience of your portfolio much more (despite all of those password protected folders)

Sure...

Yeah- so your posrtfolio is one of those rare art nude portfolios that do actually get me excited! (ok, maybe excited is not the best word choice when talking about nude images)

There are many images that stand out as wonderful examples of what an art nude image can be. Solidly in the fantastic world!

This image though is fantastic! 18+ https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/23355158

Ha ha- no fair! You already know I want to work with you someday so you would not get a blah!

I will go with fantastic as you do have work outside the norm, and what I am generally drawn to. I think my ol favorite of yours is https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/28127005

Haha! Thanks We will def work together one day once I get back on my feet

you tell me

Oh, I love suprises! And based off of your avatar I was in for a total suprise when I opened up your portfolio!

OK- two in a row with art nudes that really do catch my eye! But your non nude work is fantastic as well.

While there are many images in your port that jump out for me, this one, for some reason really resonates with me: 18+ https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/25315731

I did not neet to open your portfolio to know my answer. I have seen your work enough times before to know that all opening your port one more time would do is leave me grumbleing and muttering that I exist in a world outside of which you travel.

OK, I am not really that weird but really, your work is fantastic and I have more ideas for images I would love to shoot with you than I would know what to do with.

This image just jumps off the page for me: https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/29989821

I'm flattered, thank you.

Me please

At the moment I am going to go with meh. Only due to the lack of diversity on your images. There are a couple fun ones, and it gives me a lot of hopw that your portfolio will progress with the potential you have.

This image makes me want to work with you: https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/30135066 mostly becasue it really expresses your face.

Hmmmm... OK...

This is where I disclose my bias that I am not a real fan of glammy glamour images. However, with all of that aside, it is obvious that you know your way around lighting,composition, post work etc. so that is enough to move me into the fantastic label. Not my style and tatse, but I respect your talent. I love that you shoot from up high, down low- head on, and all over the place. Keeps me looking at your portfolio and interested,

This is prob my favorite:

Thanks!

So this is where I be blunt and say that when I looked at your post and saw your avatar I was worried I was going to have to go with my first blah of the night

Luckily when I got into your portfolio it turned my frown upside down

So yeah, your avatar- does not excite me...

But my, your face is lovely! While your overall portfolio does not make me super excited, your look gets me feeling like I could give you fantastic! Seriously- I would love to work with someone with your face! ie. you!

I really cannot pick an image though that stands out to me...

Sure I got my big girl panties on so shoot!

** I didn't just say that publicly did I?

You did, you did say that!

Hate to say it, but I am going to go with meh. There is nothing that jumps out for me, nothing that makes me feel excited or that I have not seen it before. It seems you have gotten into a comfort zone and are reluctant to push yoursel outside of it- in your lighting, in your camera angles, in the poses you have your models do. I see some movement, and those images stand out- but the entire middle of your portfolio feels really static.

This image leaves me curious: https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/30250058

good choice! That was almost the image I was going to pick as my fav for you- mostly because your profile view is stunning! Arcata here I come!

Still going?

Yup!

It did take a while to get to your portfolio though!

But it was well worth it when I got there! I absolutely love the tones in your work. It sets a feeling that totally draws me in, so yes, fantastic!

Though I do not know if this is your "best" image per se, I totally love this one: https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/28971489

While there are some images in your ort that make me go meh- overall there is some fantastic work! As I have said above, I am not a fan of glammy glamour work, and it takes special art nudes to get me to look twice, but the diversity in your portfolio lept me interested and scrolling through the whole thing.

This one stands out for the tones, and the emotion, and the goodness: https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/26244559

Well, I will be honest and say that I will put you in the upper reaches of blah/low end of meh. It seems you are not happy with your work? Why? What do you want it to be? What image out there excite you? How can you emulate them, yet make them your own?

Don't be affraid to make "mistakes" so long as you learn from them. Get to know about lighting, and how it works an image. VAry your shooting angles, read about composition, if you want it, you will figure it out.

Wow go for it. I want to know

OK, the bad news is that I will have to say upper blah/lower end of meh for your portfolio. The good news is that you are young, and if you really do want to give it a go at having some fun with modeling you have several years to make soemthing happen. I will never tell anyone they have what it takes to be a model, or an anything really- so I will just say find some photographers that would be open to working with someone your age and get some good qaulity work into your portfolio.

Practice your posing and expressions- they are very repetative in your portfolio...

Lol, yes Excited and Nude in the same sentence can be a bit awkward
Thanks for the great feedback, I really appreciate it. The best part of it to me is the "rare art nude port..." as this is what I strive for and the reason I continue to shoot whether its good or not so good, at least I know I am creating my own art successfully.
Thank you!

Shoot

I dig your portfolio and a couple images in your portfolio- but I am not feeling anything that excites me at first glance

I will have to say the upper reaches of meh. You are lovely, but your portfolio does not thrill me, at least not tonight.

Would I work with you? sure would! And your avatar pushes me in that direction...

JohnsPhotos wrote:
I will play please...

Sorry, but meh...

I think that trimming of your portfolio would move me into seeing your work a little more positively. There are a lot of very similar images from the same shoot that leaves me feeling a bit bored and edging toward blah.

I think you can do better!

Thanks. Now I am curious why you chose that image as curious... personally it isn't one of my favorites.

BTW, used to live in Greenfield and Millers Falls.... just looked at the house I lived in when I was in Millers (google streetview) and looks like its about to fall to the ground.

No, thank you! I really enjoyed looking through your portfolio. And thank you for looking past my horrid typos above!
