I have to disagree with Harold Rose's comment. I personally think your work is very elegant and professional. When it comes to your port, it makes me feel like I'm reading the Vogue magazine. You have a great perspective and excellent taste in unique looks. Truly beautiful work. What about me? And my daughter as well (I know you don't do children but really curious with your opinion on her look).

How's about me? smile

Not my type of model I would work with at all... Too many BIG tattoos, though I love them, I don't shoot them. You are pretty but just don't have that extra thing that makes me want to work with you.

Focus on shooting a lot more, because right now you have about 8 photos with them same outfit and look on your face. Go in front of the mirror and pose with your face (do different expressions) Learn your face.

No, I wouldn't work with you.

Hmmmmmm your work has no rhythm just random women standing around. Lighting is flat and concepts are non existent. You need a lot of work.

No, I wouldn't work with you.

I don't know - would you?  I think my predominant style is a bit different than you have chosen for your portfolio....

Your work aint bad... A little too dark and dramatic even though the styling/theme of the shoot doesn't call for it but that could be just your way of shooting.

Yup, I'd work with you.

well, thank you smile  Yes I do prefer a more dramatic approach to imagery in my own work whether high key or low key in approach...  but of course my MM port reflects my personal tastes and what I shoot for my own enjoyment....   when shooting commercially, or when testing or trading,  I am adaptable to the need of the moment smile  and I always make it my goal to be sure that those who test or trade with me are happy with what we are shooting and with the images they receive in compensation for their time and effort...

I'm so disappointed...You have over 100 photos in your portfolio (thats waaaay too much). In the beginning I was like alright not bad, I could work with this then as I scrolled down It just got from bad to worse to just ugly. You REALLY need to clean up your portfolio. Get rid of the old and stick with the new. Right now I am confuse and wondering (if I worked with you which work would I get, the good, the bad or the ugly). I'm a risk taker but your work isn't work the risk.

No, I wouldn't work with you

Thanks Erlinda!

I'm beginning to realize that I am incapable of telling which of my images are good, bad or ugly.

The last 12 photos in your portfolio should be deleted. You have a lot of moody pictures but non have a story to tell. Just a model standing in front of a camera with a blank expression. You need to connect with your subject more. Focus on a feel/idea you want your viewers see when they look at your photos.

No, I wouldn't work with you at this time.

You have an interesting look though most of your photos you have the same expression in most of them. Your portfolio is alright but can be better. Better concepts and better teams (thats what you need to focus on)

Not the type of model I would work with, though you are pretty you are short and photograph your age (25).

No, I wouldn't work with you

Love the curves. By looking at your portfolio I feel like there really isn't a model there... Just a girl that likes to play dress up and get her photo taken.

Pretty but pretty doesn't cut it hmm

I'm all about different but your work doesn't go down the road of different goes down the road of tacky themes and over photoshopped photos. Not my cup of tea for sure.

Way too many photos in your portfolio. You need to get deleting girlie! You've got a lot of crap to throw away.

Your pretty, love the curves but I find your eyes are a little too close together and your upper lip is a little too thin for my liking. I'd have to pass.

No, I wouldn't work with you.

Welllllll.... thank you. Over-photoshopped, you'd have to draw my attention to which ones you are speaking of(except one picture that was removed). I definitely appreciate the constructive crticism, just curious.

BTW I love the fashion work on your site. (Though I noticed even though you're based out of the UK, your site is a .ca??? Canadian connection?). I also checked your facebook page and encourage you to also check mine www.facebook.com/apparitionphotos

Thanks again for the feedback and critique!

Your avi brings your work level down a lot and some other photos with models posing very weirdly. Don't understand why you think these are good photos to keep? hmm

Yes, very nice.... I don't think I like the finger in the mouth but lighting, pose of the body and head as well as the make-up is spot on.

WELL DONE!!! big_smile

Why would anyone want people to see their old crappy work? It doesn't make me want to work with you, it makes me wonder why you have it in your portfolio to bring down the rest of your work.

Your avi makes me feel like someone else shot it hmm all the other photos don't have really good lighting as well as lacking in photoshop skills and crappy concepts. I'm thrown off and not in a good way.

No, I wouldn't work with you.

I think you deleted more then one picture but this is also one that looks overly photoshop and not realistic at all hmm

I've taken heed to some of your suggestions.  Will do more portfolio adjustments as I process my latest shoots.  As compensation to having to endure perusing my portfolio, I will bring lots of Oreo's. big_smile

The only real change you did was deleting one photo of the 7 that I didn't like and moved the rest of them around in your portfolio... LOL it's a start! wink

Ahahahahaha no worries,

I can tell you are a much older photographer then me. Your work is very 80's 90's though I think they are good I feel like you need to start shooting things that are more of this area.

This photo has to go. The blur is ridiculous. So disappointed to see that you shot with the beautiful mosh and thats the photo you got out of it. So sad sad

You are weird looking but in a good way. You have big eyes, big lips and a big nose but for some reason they look good together. I like how you can be edgy with your short hair but soft as well. Not my type of model but I would work with you. smile
