You have a stunning port with a wide range of styles represented. You've kept your port small and diverse, which is important. You work with great photographers!
I really have nothing critical to say about it , except that you could possibly work a bit on facial expression. It seems to be about the same in all the pictures.
But again, I love your work and would love to work with you someday.

Critique mine please!

This photo to me, seems like the model is out of focus and the middle couch cushion is in focus? is that intentional.. or is my eyesight really getting that bad?

I really enjoyed your portfolio. I love black and white photos and artistic nudes. The composition of your photos is interesting as well. and the lighting is nice. I left a comment on my favorite.

but other than that one photo i dont have anything negative to say about yours either! Perhaps you could add some images that focus more on the background than the model to add some diversity to your portfolio.

It is definitely intentional. As it is with most of my work, the idea was to tell a story with that picture....."When you're gone...." is the title of that one. Hopefully that helps to explain the focus issue.

Thanks for your feedback and critique!

As far as what you got on the profile now it both varied and interesting. You can use some newer shots as if you don't have anything up there more recent than 6 months, people might start to wonder. I think you can solve the recent shot thing by getting new shoots...maybe a roadtrip....maybe NYC. Just suggestions.  smile

EDIT: My bad, I see some recent shots.

You have some great variety in your portfolio and the quality of the images is generally very high.

These are my favourites:

I think there are a few that may look great as very large gallery pieces, but at MM resolutions are difficult to appreciate fully.  For example, this one - great photo

I like this concept, but find that the pattern in the carpet makes you get lost in the photo and my attention is pulled to the vase? in the centre of the photo.

There are a few  I am not a fan of:

This one because most of your portfolio is 'art nude' and this is definitely more straight glamour.

I'm not sure what the point of this one is:

Nothing really wrong with this one, but this is a concept I have seen many times and this little twist (having you in both machines) isn't enough to hold my attention.

I really like the lighting in your port. And some of the pictures are just awesome like the one in the desert. Awesome overall!

You have some stunning photos on your portfolio. You really know how to position your body and are great at capturing the lighting just right. I think you could also do some amazing glamour headshots as well.

Great photographers you work with.
No critiques necessary, or valid that would be necessary.

Good job.
