Well to be honest none of these photos are all that great. I can tell that you have a theme and idea before shooting but for some reason it just never fully translates. If you're going to do crazy makeup you have to make sure that the photographer can correctly edit the photo so it looks good. In your case they didn't really do that. Maybe try to nail a few easier shoots first before trying to do elaborate themes or at the very least work with photographers who can help you get it right. I do like the photo of you in the white dress posing in the water but I wish you weren't so blurry.

Thank you! That was the most unexpected and best critique of my work I have had.

When I have a concept, I should look for the photographer who is best at that look or style or makeup --- or when working with someone, look at their portfolio, see what they can do and are good at, then work with that. Aha! That is utterly brilliant.

You are a genius!

You seem to have issues with honest, valid criticism, don't you?
