ready for Judgement day

Well, iffn you are looking for a harsh Judgement I will likely disappoint you today!

I would do a trade shoot with you. Why? I do not feel your portfolio shows that you have the experience for paid work, but you have a unique look that would be wonderful to work with. What instantly draws me to you is your eyes/face- they are lovely in a way that is dark yet beautiful- and with the right concepts, lighting, and expressions could produce some images expressing a lot of personal strength and emotion. As per your scars- the majority of models I have worked with have some form of scars somewhere on their body. I am not anti-scars, and actually will not edit out any scars unless a model specifically requests that I do. I see them as part of makes a person unique and beautiful. As for being a "plus size" model- as you put it "beauty could be found in all sizes" so that's all that needs saying about that.

And, I have a weakness for working with artists! And I have long wanted to go to Bulgaria!

Ahh- tricky as you have "Paid Assignments Only" marked on your profile!

There are a few images in your profile that would lead me to be comfortable paying you for a glamour styled pin up look if I were a  shooter in that genre.

I would try to pull some more varied expressions out of you. I do not feel that you do not have varied expression- just that I think you have more in you than what is represented in your portfolio. Meaning I think you probably have skills that are not totally coming through in your portfolio. Make sense?

If I were someone who shot genres outside of alternative glamour, I would probably be inclined to say trade shoot. So if glamour is the market  you are working toward you are well on the way- if you are looking to diversify and get paid for diverse genres, I would like to see strong representation of those genres in your portfolio before considering paying you.

Hi Raychel- for you I would say trade shoot. You note you are looking for trade in your profile, you are new, and you do not have many photos, so definitely would not consider paying you- but is is refreshing that you acknowledge all of that, and are open to gaining experience and building your portfolio via trade.

You have a unique look, that could play well into several genres- so I see the potential for a variety of concepts.

Your profile is informative in a helpful way- laying out what you are looking for, when you are available etc.

I hope that some creative and talented local photographers work with you- as with the right concepts and right photographer you could look amazing!

It will be...

Trade. But, if I were a photographer looking to shoot a series involving dance themed concepts I would consider paying you, as it is obvious from your images that you can produce great dance images, and I would feel confident that you could produce consistent results.

Every model that I have worked with that has dance experience has been very easy to work with- great body/spacial awareness- and ability to gracefully move into poses.

But, with your looks you are versatile- so images outside of dance are easily visualized. So while part of me would want to go all with dance concepts (and would love to see your portfolio full of amazing dance images) I would consider you for shoots in other genres on a trade basis.
