I'd welcome comments from photographers, models, MUA's, anyone with an opinion. If you think something is awful though i'd appreciate guidance on how to improve it smile

I noticed you portfolio is primarily glamor, but I don't see glamor (intentionally spelled) listed in the styles you offer.
I'm not particularly a fan of a smooth lit glamor (or glamor for the most part), so maybe others can critique you within your genre.

I can't speak to the genre specifically either, but I think the photography is good. I liked a lot of your shots. If I had to point out something I didn't like, it would be the setting for this shot:

The same setting you used for the girl with the ink too (also, fix her fingers in that one, put them all on the ledge, they look weird as they are). I like the corner, I like the window, I like the colours... I hate the space heater, and it's in both of them...

Great models too btw.

And that's it, that's all I got... but don't worry, this is MM, someone will come along soon and tell you how terrible you are wink

Wonderfully diverse selection of models !  Some great expressive faces, should include some closer cropped images in your choices.

And add some exterior locations in natural lighting, the heavily inked gals would meld perfectly into urban setting.

I would like the background more out of focus, move model away from it, and use a shallow depth of field. Move models left arm out to side rather than pointing it at camera [Notice how short upper arm appears?]
Details: Looks like lint at top of nylons

Pretty model, but she just looks stagnate, pose has no life.

This one I like the best
Details: Lint on models top, and loose thread by models left wrist.

I wish you well

thanks for the comments, i agree with the arm in the first shot, the 'stagnate' pose i disagree with you, i love the pose but we can't all see things the same and i respect your opinion. The one you like is a 16 year old who had done literally no modelling at all!

I'm sure I could nitpick a few of these shots, but my first impression is the post work is damn good. I suppose I should say something negative, but the lighting and post is on the money in my book.
