It's great to see so much amazing work on Mayhem, but are you selling yourself straight? Perhaps you're not aware of your full potential or maybe you're just buried in your own ego. Post here and I'll let you know my honest opinion on whether your bark is worse than your bite. No cry babies!

When I was small, I'd sit on top of the doghouse with my dog and bark at people. True story.

I'm not quite sure what to expect from this but always up for input from someone whose work suggest they might know what they are talking about.....

In your profile, I think you are realistic and also tough but fair in your wording. On opening your portfolio I'd want to work with you regardless of what was written (unless you came off as a huge diva, which you don't), you're very realistic and inspirational. Don't go changing

You've been here since 2008, you shoot at "the centre of the known universe" you have some amazing models and despite this, a lot of your work sits a little flat for my eye. I'd dare suggest your work doesn't entirely live up to the hype, that being said, I absolutely love your work on the dry lake bed and want to see more of it.

You don't appear to be ringing your own bell too much, although you do make mention of other wedding and product work without a direct reference link to it, which only leaves me to wonder if its better or worse than what you have here. You appear to be amateurish, but make no claim to be otherwise, so I'm giving you a clear report. Yes your bark is as good as your bite.

I'm not saying your work is bad, just that its very inconsistent On your profile starting out with a cool laid back approach to it all, rocketing to, "the world is OURS" all within a few sentences. Confusing, misleading, tongue in cheek?? Who knows, but more importantly who'd care to find out. It seems you'd like your models to find you intriguing enough to chase you by the way in which you request they, "connect with you on Facebook". Your bark is worse than your bite I'm afraid.

Maggie Xia wrote: let me know pls! To me you seem to be pitching yourself in a very rational manner and I note the mention of no nudes more than once on your profile. To me this is fine, as I do understand how some males can lack the appropriate reading and comprehension skills when it comes to getting ladies nekid. I do find your reference to implied and lingerie shoots a little ambiguous, to mention sensual as a comparison sexual leaves a lot to the imagination in anyone's mind. Perhaps a few listings of reference images would help clear this up for many and land you more paid work sooner than later. With the right outlook and approach you could start making money within a week. No your bark is not worse than your bite, in fact i see it as the opposite here, but once you sort your sensual from sexual definitions out it could come close.

I don't see any of your work even coming close to your favourites list, from this point I'm left wondering about your motivations for taking up photography. No your bark is not worse than your bite.
