Since you didn't give me actual photos I'll just critique you in general. I think you have a great look, fantastic body! I would work in facial expression and posing, study popular men's fitness magazines and practice in the mirror. Hire a really great photographer and see what it's like on a real professional fitness photo shoot! Best of luck!

How about a couple of new ones... Working on my editing skills (yeah, I know, keep working on them...). Another opinion couldn't hurt!

Image 1: it's a cute photo in general but i cant get past the excessive blur or loss of clarity.. Image 2: looks extremely amateur to me. The model is beautiful but I just don't get what the point of this photo is. Also in the background doesn't look natural.

First photo: I enjoy to background but I do not like the models pose at all! Can't see her face and limp hands! But I so like the idea behind this perhaps you have more w different poses!? 2nd: I do not like this photo, the wardrobe , hair and make up, pose and editing are boring! The one thing I do like is the background and how you positioned the model under the arches Best of luck to you!

[/url] This photo is too boring to be in your portfolio! It doesn't show off your figure or beautiful face! This is such a lovely photo! Looks high fashion. I love the the dress, the hair , the make up and your pose! The only thing is I wish I could see the bottom of the dress is or something it just looks like you're sunk in the the sand a bit! Big fan of you photos and wish you the best!

I always did feel the photo I was unsure about wasn't that great. But I did kinda like it. I'll most likely replace it with something else. As for the new one I got inspiration and wanted to try that style after going to a Hasselblad/Bron Color event. The image I pulled my inspiration from: https://vimeo.com/31500512 time code= 2:03 or Amber Gray http://www.ambergrayphotography.com/beauty/beauty.html I saw the image and felt I had to try it myself. I have others I'll use one of those instead. Since the cropping is a bit off. Thank you again. I will keep at it for sure!

I think for your image to be more successful you need a white board or reflector in front of the model Because it is unfortunately too dark! Also your rim light should have been more powerful!

Your designs are awesome and I would strongly suggest hiring a photographer/ models/ wardrobe stylist and getting your designs out there! The photos you have right now are not good :-( I wish you weren't so far I would snatch up a couple if those :-) Best of luck to you!

As far as the photos technical side, I do not like the colors or the crop. I do like your pose but I think your face could have been more expressive! I get you're going for the moody look but still. That being said the photo does present a loneliness and If that's what you and the photographer were going for I get it! Photo 2: I LOVEEEE ! Again, I am partial to edgy high contrast black and whites ;-) I love the wardrobe, hair, makeup, pose, environment ,composition and the orange/ grape fruit works for me One thing I have to say is I do think the angle works for this but I wish your head was tilted up a but more, because angle your face is in is unflattering. Just my opinion and I'm guessing it was intentional ! But I do love your portfolio! I wish you the best

Photo 1: do not like the crop and all the negative space. I just don't get the photo.. It looks like they are sharing a scarf and the their bodies are connected :-/ Photo 2: it's way too underexposed and the model is too center in the frame

Photo 1: I'm not a fan.. It's boring in my opinion, I don't get the extremely long pink hair and leotard. Reminds me of a 80's aerobic video. The model and the background are poorly lit and the models expression/ pose are ehhhh Photo 2: I like it! Different and interesting, I like the location styling and makeup. Only thing I wish was models lower half was lit better. Best of luck to you!

Photo 1: I like it! Very artistic, it's a bit dark for my likeing (needs more light and shadows) But I like the pose and the location! Great job Photo 2: I hate it. The angle is just terrible ... Abd the editing or lack of on the face is distracting!

This image has potential! 3 things bother me; over retouching of the photo, the models pose and the models expression .. It's just boring! Perhaps you have other shots from this series? Best wishes to you!

This photo does nothing for me:-/ I suppose this would be a great commercial shot advertising undies and sweaters. 3 things though, lose the hat, model's facial expression is unflattering and the way her hands are positioned they look like stubs. That being said the model is beautiful and she has a great figure! Best wishes!

These are both fantastic! I love the idea, and I do like the darkness and coolness of the colors. And I like the model's pose in both photos. You need a hair light on the model in both photos and a faint light on the background. I wish they were more polished looking overall (in editing phase) Photo 1: the color difference between models face and body are very bothersome! Keep up the good work!

I love everything about this picture except that I can't see her face. In my opinion It disconnects me. But let's talk about that reflection in the water...it's lovely! Haha

If you really want to be a fashion photographer-- shoot more FASHION! Implied are great, and you certainly know how to light a subject based on their pose. But where's the fashion? Also, fashion deals a lot with color. Don't be afraid of color. Use it to create visual texture and a feast for the eyes. Thanks so much! You are definitely right, it's so hard to find good designers/ stylists That is my dilemma right now... I'm still very new to this biz so I'm just getting my foot in the door! I am definitely scared of color and I don't trust my eye when it comes to editing! Anther thing that just comes with experience that I look forward to! n Ok back to the critiqus!

Anther thing that just comes with experience that I look forward to! n Ok back to the critiqus! Here's what I did. I went to Goodwill and the Salvation Army stores and found the most outrageous pieces that DID NOT MATCH. The crazier the style, the better I liked it. After that, it was just a matter of getting models to wear it. It didn't matter that it wasn't "street wearable". The point was, I was shooting looks no one has ever seen and leaving people stunned. The fashion many not have been cutting edge, but the photos were very memorable. Example. This was just 3 tutus I found in a bin. $2 each. Once you get a reputation for pulling out great shoots from bad situations, they will start seeking you out.

Hi Rachel. I just posted a couple of old pictures from a few years ago. What do you think - keep them or not?

I love the harshness, her hair, the pose, her expression, her makeup! Second photo: not as provocative as the above, so I would ditch it. If you do keep it I would do retouching on her face I am a fan of your work, best wishes!
