Hello Everyone,
I did something very bold.... I deleted all my photos and put up new ones. I even took down photos that were positively critiqued....I just wanted photos that were current and reflect the "now" me. Please let me know what you think? Please don't hold back. Critique my posing, body, hair, everything...
Thank you for your time.
Best,
Meaghan Monaghan

This photo reminds me of a before and after photo set, and this is the before image. I want to see hair that is an inspiration, makeup that is fit for a queen, more dynamics in the pose, and sharp eyes that are to die for. As a model you have all the right stuff, just need to find a team of experts to work with

I think this is a better image but there is no wow factor
Your expression lacks energy

This one needs to go, looks like you are picking at something on your cheek

The molded light on your face wrecks this photo for me

As a model you have a fantastic look, I wish you well

I feel like you'd be a really cool model to work with. In fact, if you were local, I'd probably try to get you in my studio. Your top 2 rows I would keep for now. Image 4 in particular is what does it for me. I feel like its the only image in your port that really "connects", The other ones in the top 2 rows are ok, but I feel like the photographer missed the mark a bit on production. Things that detract from your figure and emotion. So with time, the more shoots you do, I would look to replace those.

The last 2 rows though.....imo....not doing you any favors. I would probably lose them right away. I just don't get it. The posing, the colors, the lighting, the wardrobe. Nothing works for me. But thats just me.

Regardless, I think you have a wonderful look, and I know we will see more great images coming from you.

Cheerio!

#s 3, 4, 6, 7 are the only ones that work for me. Given your credits, I would think that you have lots of photos that are way better than this. I'm sort of curious as to why you put these up.given all of their deficiencies (lighting, poses, lack of expression). These shots do not do you justice.

One of the few girls on here that have potential of being a successful model. Your portfolio right now isn't the strongest, but you have a lot of potential of going far in the industry. Message me let's shoot sometime.
