Ohhh lord no hmm

All that blur is making my eyes hurt sad  Tacky concepts, crappy models and bad photography.... Even if you offered to pay me I still wouldn't work with you.

You need to be more selective with your models, less retouching (youtube videos on how to retouch skin) Your lighting is very flat, need more of a pop to it.

Thanks for the kind words.

Your avi makes me think you like to use blur a lot for your photos. Your work is not a hit for me. You have some okay work but the retouching kills it for me.

I would have to say no to working with you, but you can be my assistant any day wink

I find your nude/simple work are fab compared to the ones that are more detailed and the models are wearing more clothes. I don't understand why, maybe it's because there is too much going on in the photo and you don't know how to make everything flow well etc

Yes I would work with you smile

That's because my nudes are about the person, not the clothes. People are always more interesting than clothes, so in comparison, clothes don't look as interesting as the illusion of a psychology in my nude photos.

I'd be happy to work with you as well. smile

Your work is not up the scales to what I'd use for my portfolio but you've worked with a wicked chick kelleth (that I've worked with a couple of times) and if she gave you a chance I'd take it on you as well...

You did good with her so I'd think you'd do well with me smile

Thanks.  I am definitely trying to get to the point where you'd want one of my shots in your portfolio.  By the time we are in the same city maybe I will be there smile.

And yeah, Kelleth rocks.

All the best.

Thank you for your feedback.  I completely agree my retouching skills are lacking and something I am working on daily.

Being your assistant would be achievement enough and be a remarkable experience!

I like your nude stuff a lot more then the clothes...

For me it's a hit or miss.... I'm going to have to say no for now. You should delete some photos of your portfolio.

Most of your photos are extreme... A lot going on with the hair and make-up. You need more simple, relaxed and clean stuff.

Yes, I'd work with you but for a more simplistic feel/look smile

You are pretty but not my kind of model... Eyebrows are too thin, eyes close together and lips are thin.

Pretty but nothing more.

No, I wouldn't work with you.

You are a photographer, you have to make everything look interesting *whether nudes or clothes* You have to bring things together and to life.

Great body but you over all is just okay. Not much of a model, your expression are boring and very similar.

You should look to work with photographers that don't want you naked all the time... Try shooting in a suit or something.

No, I wouldn't work with you.

You have soooo many photos in your portfolio I don't know where to start looking. When I do start looking all I notice is the bad, the tragic and the ugly... I feel like you just shoot with a point & shoot camera and enjoy watching naked chicks in front of ya.

No, I'd never work with you.

I'm a little thrown off... It seems like it's not the same person shooting these photos. There is something that bugs me about your portfolio but I can't put my finger on it. Your model selection needs to improve and also your understanding of fashion/portrait photography. What you have in your portfolio doesn't seem like you have any interest in those categories or what it means to be a fashion/portrait photographer. Your photos makes you seem like a glamour photographer (which there is nothing wrong with that)

No, I wouldn't work with you.

You have a lovely face but most of your work in your portfolio makes it very hard to like it because they are sooooo overly retouched. Nothing looks realistic. It's creepy makes me wonder why on earth a photographer would go nuts like that.

You really need to focus on working with better photographers.

I'd work with you only for a beauty shoot. I like the face smile

Nice self-portrait. I find you are really good at picking male models but you don't have a real strong photo of a female model yet. I wouldn't mind being that for you wink

Yes, I'd work with you. I look forward to seeing you grow as an artist. Keep it up! xox

Thank you so much for your support!
Too bad you're far, far away.

Too much photoshop on your work... They are either over saturated or too much contrast. Also some of your photos are blurry. You have some lovely models in your port but your concepts/angles are not flattering for them at all...

You don't know what looks good.

No, I wouldn't work with you.

Whats up with all your photos being soooo colourful? It's too distracting. I don't know where to look first... There is no theme to your photos just random chicks sitting around looking pretty. It's like you are lazy and don't feel like putting any ideas to your shoots.

No, I wouldn't work with you.
