Great portfolio, but this one didn't work as a small preview pic https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/141105/14/545aa87aad3bd_m.jpg and looking close it doesn't do you and favours at all!

Over all pose of model is a bit stagnate, head body facing same direction, arms just hanging at sides, models right eye looks a bit like deer in head lights, distracting tee-shirt

Photo has much space above your head, but yet you are missing a foot and toes, wrinkled sheet not adding to quality of image
Models right upper leg seems to be in odd lighting

For me this has excessive head tilt and the missing hand

This is just one photographers opinion, so base your decision to remove or keep an image on what you think!

Over all you are an excellent model, when seeing your portfolio this is what I would expect to see and what a model should look like

I think we can agree that you have a good look. I don't, however see any evidence of you ability to be a pro, which means I don't see anything remotely advertising related.

Remember, that modeling is the use of the human figure, to sell a product, idea, or concept. It is a selling function, for commercial purposes, or editorial purposes, for the most part.

That should be a part, of any good model portfolio, no matter what genre is involved. What you have, is pictures of an attractive girl.

You have a very pretty face, and great body, though I feel like certain images make your face appear rounder than it needs to be. I like 2,4,5,6. All other images, though nice, are disposable to me.

Good luck!

The Only one i could think of as your portfolio really is diverse is with your hair in a Bun with your head/eyes shifted slightly away from the camera to more show the definition of your facial features

and

a Video Portfolio

wow.. I find that a Little too harsh for you to comment in such a way as to her "ability" to model as a "Pro" Given the opportunity and time in front of the right photographer with the right connections and the right knowledge of how to capture said Model in the correct light for the ad campaign or marketing promotion needed.. so would be deemed fit.

Dreams and minds can be crushed by words of little minds to the novice. Beware

Although I do stand corrected as the harsh tone from your first paragraph are smoothed out but subtle corrections and additions..

Of all the photos in your port this is the only one that I found to be a bit boring. Not a bad photo per se but in comparison with the others. Meh.

Nonsense! I could not agree less. This one is quite good.

You are lovely. If you need to make room for new images, I would remove these, in this order, for the reasons given.

1. https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/37702086 . Pure drivers licence lighting. Or booking photo down at the county jail.

2. https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/37354769 . Technically: Low contrast, legs cut off. Aesthetically: upside down images of people lying down really don't resonate with most viewers. It is lazy photography on the part of the photographer.

3. https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/37285303 . It's a really nice image and would look great in a photographer's portfolio, but you are such a small element in the overall image that it doesn't do much for you.

4. https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/37702086 . Technically: Low contrast and flat. Aesthetically: Head in an awkward position; facial expression ... blah.

Beyond that, if you wanted to lose more, you'd have to pick them yourself based on something you personally weren't too happy with. In my opinion, the rest are quite good.

All the best.

In my opinion, the first 2 pics in your current port do not do anything for you...you are beautiful, so many looks, I think you can be more selective...you have the looks...Mo
