Please do.  Thanks. 

This set is good. https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/25428050 Nice lighting and posing. You should do more work like this because the rest of your port looks amateur in comparison. The lighting is very flat in most of your other images and I think there are too many random props which detract from your subjects.

There is some really weird stuff going on there too like the man's genitals lit with coloured lights. What is that all about?

The model looks really uncomfortable in this photo and it also appears to be soft/out of focus https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/13612712 You wanna get the eyes sharp in portraits.

I think you have potential in the art nude department but you need to get the lighting right. Try and dissect that first set I highlighted and apply that to your future work.

I'm always interested to hear what others think. Thanks!

You're unique on MM and I like the overall feel to your port. There is a certain mood that is being portrayed in your images but I think it could be better if you worked with photographers who can create more interesting lighting. I feel your work is heading in a certain direction but it just needs a bit of a push.

I would love your critique, as I am new to this industry and have just added a few images to my portfolio from this last weekend. (:

I know zilch about makeup to be honest, but from what I see you're doing well. Be careful of the images you select for your port. You want to show off your work and the photo with the black background doesn't really do that. Same with the final image which just hows the eye brows. Once you start working with good photographers you can really show off those skills.

Please and thank youu

I love your look, very sultry and elegant.

You have some stunning images but there are a couple that are not great.

This one is an awkward pose and is very amateur looking compared to the rest of your work. https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/28801233

I don't like the lighting in this one and your left hand looks like its making a fist which rarely looks good. https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/26177139

Only did one photoshoot but why not.

You're off to a great start. You only have a few images so its hard to give a proper critique but you're heading in the right direction. It's very polished looking.

Yes please.

The two B&W photos are by far your best work; there's a real story to them. I just love the models expressions. The rest is pretty but uninteresting. Your use of natural light is good but it all seems a bit safe. Maybe try something a bit dark and moody to add some vareity.

The second photo of the girl in the blue skirt, she looks very stiff. Her legs are too close together. The girl with her arms folded looks bored, like she didn't want to be there. You have potential, you just need to work on directing your models. Try and create the mood that you achieved in your B&W photos because they are really striking, especially the one of the girl sitting in the field. I love that image.

would love some feedback

I like your style. It's very candid and natural. There are a couple of photos that I feel are dragging you down. The one with the model sitting on the steps is rather dull and is not adding anything to your port. The Asian girl in the blue dress... I dunno, I kind of see what you were going for, but to me her expression looks weird. It might have looked better in a glamour/boudoir image, but I don't think it suits the location. Plus her foot is cropped off.

You're very raw which I like and your work is fab; there's a great mixture of glamour, beauty and creative stuff in there. You look like the sort of model that brings a lot of energy to a shoot.

I think this is the weakest image in your port. https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/19685672 I don't like the editing. It looks very amateur in a port full of great images.

This is cool in some ways but it doesn't really show you off as a model. https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/9167521 There's just too much going on in the background.

Let me know if you ever decide to come to Ireland.

Sure I'm in process of revamping my portfolio right now anyway

I think its in need or revamping, especially if you're prioritizing paid work. At the moment I don't think your port is strong enough to be looking for paid work. I'd lose the bottom 3 rows of images; they're fairly weak. The photos you did with CandyLust are the best by a mile - nice lighting, makeup and editing. That's the sort of calibre you should be aiming to collaborate with. You've a lot of amateur photos that are dragging your port down.

I am primarily and Art photographer so I would love to know your thoughts

Your work is very good. The lighting and posing are lovely, as are the expressions from your subjects. There's not much to fault really, but I think you could trim it down a bit. There are far too many images. It starts to get a bit repetitive after a while. Try doing something that's a bit out of your comfort zone. Add some variety.

I'll take 2 cents please...

You have some interesting images there. Kudos for the creativity. I love this https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/22424722 It's like something from a Predator movie.

I don't like the last image with the snake. The lighting looks very flat and its an overdone concept. Everything else looks fine. You obviously have good vision.

You have a few nice images and a lot of forgettable ones.

I think this is the worst. It's just a snapshot. https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/35950154

The lighting is not good in this and your fingers are cropped off. https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/37779340

You don't look comfortable in this pose. You're crouched over too much. It's not a flattering look. https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/35401026

I think you need to work with better photographers like George Dimitrov. The photos he took of you are nice. Work on your posing. You look a bit stiff and serious in some of your photos. Try doing more stuff like your avatar where you look like you're relaxed and having fun.

After looking through your port I really want to visit Canada. There are some absolutely stunning models there. Your work is really nice for the most part. The glamour and boudoir is sexy but tasteful. The natural light is lovely.

I don't like the two images in the bathtub, especially the editing in the monochrome one. The girl in a tub has been done a million times and I just feel that there are much better ones out there.

The girl in the pink dress and hat is not great either. I don't like the crop and it just feels a bit safe, as does the blonde girl in the white shirt.

I think your port could do with a bit of trimming as you have a lot of photos that are very similar. The two photos of the girl with the sunglasses are basically the same photo only a different crop. I'd keep one and get rid of the other. There's no need to have the two of them there. Likewise you have three similar photos of Kimberly and its just creating repetition.

Work on your lighting. Try and avoid harsh midday sun. It's very unflattering and causes hard shadows.

Keep an eye on how your subjects place their hands. It looks like she's getting ready to punch someone in this. https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/37214157 Open hands shown from the side are more feminine looking.

Your post work needs improving too. The colour and contrast look off in some of your photos. On the plus side, the two B&W photos are quite interesting. You've a good eye for composition. You just need to get the technical stuff right.

Yes 👽

I see you like to think outside the box. The wide angle low perspective shots are not really to my liking, but you have some really cool artistic photos there. The one of the model standing on the ledge and the one of Kelly in the office hallway are very unique. You have the creative eye. It's nice to break the rules but it doesn't always work.

I don't like the editing and choice of crop in this one. https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/p … 2#20368944 Plus the other photo of the same model is very similar. I think you should let one of them go.

This is a really cool model but her legs look super awkward in this pose. https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/p … 3#22656933

I'm kind of on the fence about the B&W album. They're interesting but I don't know if I can forgive the harsh lighting and strange poses. I like the fact that you're different, and while a lot of your work is not my cup of tea, its definitely thought provoking.

Your lighting and post work are good. I like the portraits of Emily. They're simple but effective and there's a strong connection with the eyes. The posing could be better. The models right arm is missing in this and looks odd. https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/38282267

The photo of the girl sitting in the chair with the red background is not very flattering. Her knee is too close to her chest and makes her look fat.

This one is just a bit boring. https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/37726372

You have the technical skills but you need to work on posing your models and choosing more flattering angels. Have a look at some experienced glamour/pin up models and see how they pose their legs, arms, hips etc.

I think when you keep things simple it works well, but when you don't... it really really doesn't. The photo of Catalina with the sword is ok because it looks authentic, but the others are very tacky.

The eyes are way over edited in this. https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/36898904

The lighting in this is nice but what is up with her expression? https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/37318383 It looks like she smelt a bad fart.

This pose is incredibly uncomfortable. It looks like she is squashed into that window. https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/34809823

I reckon you should lose the silly props and cheesy concepts and just focus on the basics first like lighting and posing.
