Greetings. First and foremost, I love your look. You're a natural classic beauty, and I wish you were about 9100 kilometers closer to my studio so that I could seek to hire you...

Good, crisp, well composed images that are at least 800 pixels wide will give your portfolio the right look in thumbnail view.

If you want a bolder thumbnail view with more visual energy, instead of collages (cutting up your thumbnails into multiple smaler images), consider finding a really great image with landscape orientation and make a polyptych instead, an image carefully divided into panels across a row of thumbnails...

Here's a link to one of my portfolios that contains several examples of this tried-and-true layout technique...

Best of luck to you in your modeling pursuits.

Reduce the number of images to only your best. You've got lots of shots that could and should go. That would make for a much stronger portfolio. You've got the looks, but they're getting lost with pictures that don't belong in a portfolio.

Agreed

To help you get there, limit yourself to one photo per look, remove those photos with black bars or pixellation across your nipples or pubic area, and remove the photos with on-camera flash or redeye.

Collages are rarely effective because the thumbnails get too small.

You have a very similar mouth pose in many of your photos

Here is a question for you, when I look at this photo what would I rather see, all of your feet or the picture above your head?
If you guessed all of your feet you would be correct.

One photo per slot works best to showcase you as the model

My biggest suggestion would be to step up your game with using only high quality images in your portfolio

Great advice!

I wish you well
