I decided to use this portfolio to advertise my nude work only. So what do you think? Although I appreciate comments on the photography, I'm more looking for thoughts on my poses, expressions, body, etc. Thank you  Jul 06 13 02:33 am Link The one on the graffiti wall is just plain bad, all others are DAMN GOOD. Especially the one on the rod where you've bended all sorts of ways. And The ones on the beach are also great. Jul 06 13 05:20 am Link Poses are good. Nice size, figure and flexibility. Good photogenic charisma. You are easy on the eyes, so to speak. Your photos are rich, but personally I would crop five of them tighter for more impact and to separate you from the background as the subject a little more. As they are now you are competing with the backgrounds a little too much for balance and comfort. The subject should tilt toward you or the background, but not both at the same time. Your avatar needs to be more punchy as an avatar. It's lost in distance and darkness - edit or replace so it is more distinguishable in it's small size. Please avoid the sun as much as possible and get a good dermatologist to keep an eye on your moles on a regular basis. My humble opinion, FWIW. Good luck!

I'm not arguing against it, just trying to figure out what it is you don't like about it. If enough people dislike it I'll remove it from my port.

What I dislike about the most of them is that you aren't the focus. Yes, you're naked and beautiful, but you need a magnifying glass in order to see you. Less background and more you, like the graffiti wall pic will make the others that much better. Don Jul 06 13 07:08 am Link I think you're off to a great start. Jul 06 13 07:16 am Link Excellent poses. Keep up the good work : ) Jul 06 13 07:27 am Link It clear that you are an excellent dedicated art model. Your work, poses and expressions are amazing. One can quibble about the photography and the composition of a shot but I think it is basically very good. I would work with you in a second! Come to Minnesota Jul 06 13 07:28 am Link While I appreciate that this is your nude portfolio, the one thing I see that is missing is a good shot that shows your face. For someone to book you, they need to know what you look like, not just what your body looks like. Since you are providing a link to you regular portfolio, you are not keeping it a secret. So, even if it is non-nude, I'd include at least one good shot that shows your face. It will make it a lot easier for someone to give you work. Jul 06 13 07:31 am Link Avatar changed to something that includes my face and more work added Thank you for everyone's advice/comments so far; I am taking it on board. I have deleted the shot with the graffiti wall and changed my avatar to something more focused on my face. Jul 06 13 07:42 am Link The ones that include a lot of background seem to far away. When the background is interesting and you become part of it, it works, but stuff like this doesn't IMHO: https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/33167863 The rest are nice. Jul 06 13 08:00 am Link Good poses wasted on bad photographers. Jul 06 13 08:50 am Link I agree with Click on the cropping--Several of them do far more for the photographer than for you. You might want to discuss this (nicely, please) with your photographers. It's only a couple of extra mouse clicks for the photographer once he's finished the picture, but it makes a world of difference in terms of the usability of the picture for the model. I do it as a matter of course so trust me, any photographer that has any feeling for his models won't have a problem with it. As to posing, there is a difference between glamour nudes and fine art nudes--you do both quite well, but I'd suggest trying to get some studio shots to balance the "nude in nature" overall theme with some work tending more to the fine art genre. That will give you an opportunity to pose where the only object(s) visible to the observer are you and perhaps a contrasting angular shape such as a posing platform, column, etc. In those shots, you probably will want to concentrate on getting as much muscular and skeletal definition as possible. Much of this is a function of the lighting and out of your control completely, but you can do a lot to help the photographer be flexing your muscles to make them more visible, and developing some stress poses that you can slip into, hold and then slip out of easily. If you can work these into a routine similar to a dance routine, you'll be miles ahead. If I were shooting you I'd definitely go for some draped shots such as  or 18+ https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/24450029 or https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/14872408 18+ to round out the portfolio. All IMHO as always, of course. Jul 06 13 08:53 am Link Mares wrote: One person says they don't like a particular image, but others like it, so you delete it? I want to see this supposedly "just plain bad" shot. Jul 06 13 08:55 am Link SKITA Studios wrote: I disagree. I think that shot is awesome. Shows her off and her posing ability, she in the center of the frame and the background doesn't distract from her. Jul 06 13 09:06 am Link NicoleNudes wrote: I agree! Jul 06 13 09:14 am Link Mares wrote: Lighting was flat and uninteresting, the way it was cropped/captured looked off, and the color scheme just didn't work. Also, you looked sort-of slanted. Jul 06 13 09:40 am Link don't do much for me except show that you are flexible and strong and have a non-muscular feminine physique. Hope you get paid for this type of work as it isnt so artistic and can put you in some risky situations. Might be a good idea to have a good hair/MUA with you and get a nude of you all dolled up. Especially your lovely hair- ever shoot it curled or teased? Jul 06 13 02:46 pm Link NicoleNudes wrote: P I X I E wrote: Thanks girls, I really like that one too.

I, like I assume most to all models do, check credited references and the legitimacy of a photographer before working with them, know the area I'm shooting in and the laws associated with such area before turning up to shoot and always have my phone fully charged and close by (along with easy to put on clothing) in case something unforeseenable does happen (like being bitten by a snake). What other risk would I be subjected to? Jul 06 13 05:29 pm Link P-Studios wrote: Should I google that? Haha Jul 06 13 05:31 pm Link you are beautiful and have a gorgeous figure but your pictures the lighting was flat and composition is poor,all you need is a better photographer. Jul 06 13 05:34 pm Link Looking forward to more variety in the future but I like what I see so far! Jul 06 13 05:54 pm Link Louis Li Photography wrote: I appreciate that, thank you. Jul 06 13 06:39 pm Link Just shoot more pictures, then come back and share.  PS - your moles are lovely, and it's good to know your dad has you covered. I was only concerned for your health and safety, not your appearance. You're in good hands. Check that one off the list! Jul 06 13 06:47 pm Link I think you're off to a wonderful start in nude modeling. No complaints here, just praise and encouragement Jul 06 13 10:16 pm Link Good posing, relaxed expressions, very nice look and figure... I think you're doing well. I'd be glad to shoot with you. Also, I don't see how your posing/work is NOT artistic. I think your poses are graceful and elegant, which very much fits artistic work. Nothing I see in your portfolio reminds me of glamor or softcore porn, so I don't know why anyone would think you'd put yourself in "risky situations".

Jul 07 13 02:06 am Link I must agree, you are doing rather well, your posing/figure suits the genre to a tee. My only complaint would be that some of your images are cropped/shot a little too losely for my tastes. If you ever head south, I would certainly make time to shoot with you Mares All the best Jul 07 13 02:24 am Link Mares wrote: of course you are right, silly me to think being naked in the middle of no where with a practical stranger and assistant- could possibly prove to be the least bit risky. Jul 07 13 07:51 pm Link Mark wrote: More risky than being in a studio with a practical stranger? Nude or clothed? Sorry, but that does seem silly. People aren't just crazed animals with the aim to impregnate everything that takes its clothes off. But this is taking my thread off topic. Thanks for the critique.
