Hello everyone!

I've been a member of MM for a while now and did quite a bit of modeling when I first started. Well, life got in the way and I took a long break and am FINALLY working on revamping my portfolio. I can't wait to start networking with artists again smile

Which images from my port should I toss? My look has changed drastically (used to be very short and bleach blonde, now I have my natural color back and it is the longest it's ever been) I have 2 photos up with my current look for reference.

Thanks in advance!

The very last one.

Also, #7 isn't working in terms of the fish eye funny effect, looked too  serious for a goofy lens.

I just feel like the others are much better quality. I'd say pull this one

your port needs to be about you and not the photographer....you are working it with the face, the eyes are super, you have a lot going on, so all I will say is look at the crops of the pics and see what is about you and not about you as décor or a prop...find a photographer that will do TFP or pay them to do what will get you noticed and good tear sheets...I will not pick apart your port and post, let an agency do that...

I don't know about this one. Conceptually it could have been fun, but your pinup wardrobe and the plane don't mix too well in my opinion. It is five years old, might be time for something fresh.

This one is a definite keeper:

Digging the concept of this one also:

Keep rockin' it.

Thanks everyone for such great feedback!

I will definitely put all of this into consideration and I really appreciate the comment about the photos in my port needing to showcase more of me and not the photographer--that really helped put things into perspective.

Thanks again everyone!
