Switched up a lot of the photo selections to work from the past year, any constructive feedback would be appreciated regarding which photographs are the best/worst to keep. Any suggestions on the best picture to set as a profile shot would also be appreciated.

I took a lot of what was said before in an earlier post to heart and scrapped a lot of old content and am replacing it with newer work to try to reflect my current age/style.  Thanks ahead of time for any feedback.

Vaei you have such elegant facial features... and gorgeous tresses... skin smooth as silk, texture like glass... truly iconic beauty genre... rest assured this is indeed cherished by your makeup artist...

Would suggest you strive to showcase the aforementioned with a profile image such as this...
Please keep in mind that your hair is likely your most important fashion accessory...

Been way too long since we collaborated... smile

All the best on your journey...

Vaei, you are gorgeous and it's a pleasure to look at you. I have a few suggestions:
1. Take photos with more expressions. Since you're going for acting, your face and body are your instruments to convey meaning. It doesn't have to be huge (especially if you're going for film).

2. Remove these pics
This is your usual face with a nosebleed

This is too dark

3. Thomas's suggestion is a good one.

This shot has the most life.

Consider removing the following images, which I believe are your weakest:

For some reason, your expression isn't working for me.

Try to stay away from poses like the one in the last picture. Your expression is fine, but your body looks awkward.

This photo (https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/38634162) is by far my favorite, though you have some other great pictures in your port as well.

all the photos look to posey...being an actress you understand the concept of being believable so try acting when getting your photo done and be more natural.  ATB

On number 7 (?) - The arms should not go horizontally across her body as shown in the image it detracts from her figure creating an unnecessary frame - cutting the top half of her off from the bottom. This also puts them as the closest object to the camera lens - which inadvertently causes the arms to be featured as the most important element in the frame. That's not a good thing.
