I agree....you are stunningly beautiful. 

But your portfolio is a bit type cast.  You are fit, and statuesque, but I think you have a lot more potential than swimwear and lingerie. 

I would want to see you in all sorts of clothes, fitness stuff, yoga stuff, dresses, some high fashion looks, etc.  And I'm not saying dismiss your strengths, but too much "classic sexy" turns cliche, so I would suggest mixing in some artistic versions of that, like this....  http://www.pinterest.com/pin/295337688039288288/   or this   http://www.pinterest.com/pin/295337688039177057/

Yep, I agree with Mr. E, maybe a bit more variety  .  .  .  the images you've been shooting with Mr. AN (wonderful photographer, BTW), while beautifully done, all have the same feel to them  .  .  .  lots more can be done with your look  .  .  .  pick a few of your favorites from the recent ones, and start adding some new looks and locations  .  .  .  hmmmmmmm, maybe some surf stuff  .  .  .  hint, hint  .  .  .  I'm thinkin' you, a surf board, at Hout Bay, surfin' Dungeons (or, at least lookin' like ya are), would be fantastic  .  .  .

Elena, you are a beautiful woman and there are excellent pictures in your portfolio. The problem is, many are beginning to look the same. Pick out the best of the ones that have different expressions and different poses and drop the rest. You, yourself could work on different expressions and have them appear in future shoots. One knows something's wrong when the eyes start skimming pictures of a beautiful woman.
All the best in the new year.

Thank you so much for your advice. I know that I need to work on my pose and expressions.

Makes you look heavier than you are which is pretty slim :-)

Love this though the dark gradient on the bottom is a bit too much

You have similar facial expressions on a lot of them...the straight ahead look.  I'd trim those a bit if possible...

Thanks for that !!!   I just needed someone to tell me  that I look a bit heavy in that shot Must do something about facial expression !!!!

When I look at your photos I feel I am truly looking at a real models portfolio, this photo is no exception on your part.



I would rather see you standing so you can show off your long lovely legs, right hand to head not working for me


Not a fan of this image
Crop of models left leg below knee is not working, show the knee include the foot
Being in Florida, I bet you could find a better backdrop then a closet door
[Notice the difference between your right upper leg and left upper leg, shape of models left is so much nicer]


An ok image but first image of this look is stronger


Pose not as flattering as it could be, because of the way the arms are posed they appear short
Arch your back and lower your shoulders
[Were your hands on your knees your arms would appear longer]

Love your work as always
Happy New Year

Thank you so much for your advice Always appreciated  <3

Your pictures are fine, but your concepts are lacking. Get outside the box.

Your photos are delightful, but the later ones do not appear to be adding much that is not already in your portfolio.

Thanks for your advice

I think you could drop the follow images:

for the pose

since you have already another better that this one

for the crop and the legs look less slender

for the crop on your left hand and how appear your left legs partially over the slip

I agree with you Alessandro...Grazie
