Thanks for the pointers next time I will extend my leg more and look straight at the camera.

You do not have to always look at the camera, rather then look at camera, look in the direction your nose is pointed; the idea is you want to have a balanced amount of white area on both sides of your pupil


I would shoot with you in a heart beat

Happy Thanksgiving

Let's not critique the model for poor posing, pretty sure that's the photographer's job.

I was more looking for critiques on my poses not whether if my height and body type is appealing but thanks for the comment anyway

First overall on the port get rid of anything that doesn't look professional.


"A regular selfie since I don't have a head shot yet."
It's grainy, not a flattering angle, and pixelated. Ditch it and go get a 'regular head shot'


"Out for your bday" shots are fine for Facebook but not doing your portfolio any favors. If I were looking to work with a model and I came across this photo I'm leaving your port and going to the next model.
The flash makes you look blue the reflection in your eyes makes you look stoned, the angle makes you look short and stubby .... I could go on. It's a crappy phone photo of you while out for your birthday, not a pic of you modeling so it doesn't belong here.
Get rid of it.

I think the best shot in your port by far is:

Here's why I like it:
Because this looks like you've been captured in an actual sensual moment. The angle is flattering. The slightly open mouth and light touching of the breasts suggest sensuality, the crossed legs also add to this.
What I don't like about it:
The focus is in a weird spot and your face looks 'dirty.' I believe both of these issues are due to the photographer's retouching and not your fault.


Your worst shot (other than the phone pics)

Here's why I don't like it:
Part of this is not your fault, but I'll try to focus on what you could have improved.
The pose looks like a failed attempt at being 'sexy.' For something like this, uncross your ankles and give us a real 'doggie' position if that's what you're going for. It would suggest sexual availability (why else would you be in this position?). The arms being extended look uncomfortable and block some of the light on your face. I would have had you bring your right arm back a bit and tilt your head up more as if you were tossing your hair. I might have you look forward (not at the camera). Turning your hips toward the camera (butt toward), or away from the camera (butt away) might also add some interest. A hard profile like this is difficult to make look good even for experienced models.
What definitely wasn't your fault is the lighting which doesn't help with the sensuality aspect. It's not a critique of the photographer so I wont' comment any more about that except to say:

Do yourself a favor and find photographers whose work you really like and understand why you like it. Then go shoot with those photographers. Be patient – it may take you a while to find the right shooters.
The "Pin Me Up Photography" shots are the best in your port, but I would recommend you find someone who shoots you from more flattering angles and doesn't feel the need to do so much photoshop. It's hard to tell what you really look like.

If you're looking to build a glamor port spend a LOT of time looking at glamor photos and practicing with a mirror. Contrary to popular opinion, modeling is actually hard work.

Good luck.
