I think less is more. However, I don't know what looks good. Other than the dark moody picture with Kendal Carr ,I don't have any favorites. Could you tell me your least favorite 3 photos ?

Thank you smile

Here are a few that I think are weak among your book…

Fun image, but it doesn't really show you off that well. I feel like this shoot could have produced more striking images than this. It does look like a lot of fun though.

This could be a fine portrait, however I find the red tones to be too overwhelming. You look great and the catchlight in your eyes really pop, but the redness is just too much for me.

You are stunning, but I find the swimsuit to be a little tacky. Not sure if lime green is a good color on anyone.

You are a knockout. You'll create great shots in the upcoming year.

I would lose the red/green lit image without question. 18+ https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/39891100. All it shows is that the photographer has some colored gels. It doesn't do anything for you, and the photographer cut off your hands at the wrists, which is a no-no.

Next I would lose the one of you in the elephant's-breath-green swimsuit, if for no other reason than your facial expression looks goofy, but of course there is another reason, the elephant's-breath-green swimsuit. 18+ https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/39508863

Finally, I would lose this one: https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/39511234. The focus is a little soft on your face and your hair is a bit unruly. Also, if you're going to crop the head, crop it like you mean it, otherwise don't do it at all. And finally, and in my mind most important, the Dutch tilt really doesn't work here. It makes you look all hunched over and uncomfortable.

P.S. I just looked a Kris Krieg's comments above and have to agree about https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/32064109 being much too red/magenta. The photographer could fix that for you easily and you'd have a great portrait.

Yes, there's a red cast, but that's a photographer's nit pick. Your face looks gorgeous here. Looks like an old Hollywood movie poster.

#1 Crop to head shot  - terrible top and huge knees, beautiful face.

#4 You are barely recognizable

#6 We can't tell that it's you

#7 Again, we can't see your face. Too bad, it's a beautiful image.

I can see wonderful portraits of you.

All the best.
