I only see one good photo in your port. I'd need to see a few more good ones to judge your potential.

There's some good stuff in your port, but it's missing allot of color, and some of the cropping doesn't work for me, you can't just lop off the top of someone's head and it be ok, I get the one that's about at the brow line and how in shows off her eyes, but others are just a little too closely cropped. A beautiful face surrounded by empty space really pops! Tons of potential showing in there!!

Thank you! I will work on getting some more variety and color into the port.  I will definitely rethink some of my executioner cropping.

I see one really great photograph in your port. The rest is kind of all over the place lighting wise, color wise, composition wise...

There really is some good stuff in your port, but the fat chicks gotta go dude!! But seriously the models you choose to display in your port have a major effect on how people view your work as a whole. Great technical skills, not feeling the guy with the worms? Coming out of his mouth, but that's just me!

You need to get the book "Understanding Exposure" everything is darker than it should be and some, way too dark.

Although I appreciate your feedback...I already participated in a couture bridal fashion shoot...(with more to come) & that is the direction I want my career to go- Couture Bridal* I am confident in my ability as a model~ Sometimes it's not only a great look, & perfect body that make a good model...but a winning personality as well wink
