I think you are off to a great start solid models and locations you should make this your avi it is much stronger than the one you currently have IMHO other than that I am sure once you shoot more you would do well good luck

Thank you! I'm working on arranging some studio shoots.  I did have that as my avi, and someone else said I should change it this one. : )

thanks for the critique.
1. yes it's soft, but it's my favorite too. I'm working on getting better.

2. I did get the most votes for this, out of my shots, in Pick of the Day.  But I've uploaded one without post for you to see. let me know what you think.

3. I know a lot of photogs don't like smiles, I'm fine with it if it looks natural. Have a look at these other versions of this shot..


love it!


great! I don't normally like pinup photos, but the tats give it an edge.


This is really great, beautify eyes & lips, the right amount of head tilt. I think this could be cropped better, maybe crop into a 8x10 because I can see her wrist or something upper left.


good shot, too bad about her expression and head is tilted too far.

You have a great portfolio!

nailed the expression, it's too bad your hands in pockets.. and your outfit it out of place for the environment, maybe a leather jacket?


this collage looks odd, try single photos of the right and bottom shots.



it's too bad, you did your part but this really needs better lighting. cut

Thanks for the detailed response

I feel this shot is the strongest in your port:


But I'm not too keen of the ones with the girl in the orange dress in the water, she's lit so bright it's like she was copy pasted into the picture. Maybe tone down the harshness of the light a bit? It is a darkish sunset

Thanks again

please be mean

it's not about being mean, it's trying to be fair, a lot of people here say EVERYTHING is the best thing they've ever seen   maybe they are seeing something I'm not, or they are lying for attention.

Cool, heavy on the post process, but it works.


really good! too bad about the distracting logo placement.


seems a little awkward..


the left shot is great! use that for avi.

I think you need two ports or folders to divide your work from pro shots and the more casual.

nice!

sorry for skipping!

Try to find better photographers, that should make a huge difference in your portfolio. how much time do you spend look for a really good photog?

mostly I don't like this work, I know that's not too helpful.  I guess I'm not the best person to critique this.

keep these.

Thanks I haven't really spent much time due to much time trying to find photographer because of me getting back on my feet financially wise but once I start shooting again I have a few that can really help me get where my port should be

I think you can find TF photogs in your area, just look carefully at their work and pick someone good.
Then think of some ideas of shoots you would like to do to build your port, find some example photos of the type of shot you want. If you contact them with a plan, I think you will get a better response. 
if you use the search option to find 3-5 TF photogs and send links, I can help you pick.

This is a great concept snapshot. I think you should go back with a good photog, lights, and take the baskets off etc. do it right.


I find this background very dristracting, the eye focuses on the brightest thing in a photo.

Please don't ask for a critique if you think every single shot in your port is the best ever and have no intention of cutting anything to make a stronger portfolio.

well, i think the images in my port represent an acceptable cross-section of my so-called work. i used 12 slots to get 60 images; there should be enough to please others as well as self. however, i see the majority of what i have as essentially disposable. there's nothing really to do with what i already have, except to replace with new.

Anyone can critique too!  and please let me know how I'm doing at this, thanks!

simple. don't post redundant images: the same model, in same clothing, in same location.

great port, good range of images, you have amazing cheekbones! you could totally rock the Morticia Addams look, the way I imagine it, would be stunning : )

very good head shot,  maybe crop a little off the bottom and closer into 8x10.


very nice! BEST shot


great!


hate the backdrop! makes no sense with headdress.. cut


cut and replace..

this is SO much better!!

Good port, I want to see more

BEST!


really good!  just watch your left hand shape, photos tend to make spread fingers look claw like.., otherwise perfect.


great idea, maybe iron the shirt..


to bad about your expression, part of it is shooting up like that.


right pose looks akward. cut

Is your name really Kurly?
I think you have a great start in modeling.

nice expression, really flexible, Best shot.
but right hand is odd.  also stand away from the backdrop for less shadow.


good


try to work with better photogs and practice expressions & posing with your own camera.


cut, bad pose, overexposed photo

Yes You have great advice.  Took out the wedding dress pic right away.  The other pic I am hesitant to take out because I love the dress! But I am giving it some thought. Thanks again for the critique!
