Feedback is highly appreciated,

Have a scroll through my portfolio and tell me what areas I should improve on, or what needs to be fixed. Any input is highly appreciated, thank you for your time.

Welcome to mm.  smile  Frist thing I would say is fill out your genres and profile. Your profile is like a job resume. One line of text isn't going to do it. When photographers consider working with a new model they want to be sure they are serious and wont flake. Look at other  model profiles to get ideas.
I would say change your avatar. From what I see so far, your eyes are your best feature and they are closed on your current one. I would suggest cropping the photo when you are sitting on the sink. This is your best expression so far.
Try to get a variety of styles up. This gives photographers a idea of what you are capable of and want is your best looks. Remember to have fun and keep practicing.  Bob  smile

Pretty good portraiture with a slight editorial feel, but for goodness sakes, get rid of this: https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/160526/19/5747b82d4d64f_m.jpg

I will remove that picture, and I updated my bio. Thank you for the feedback! <3

I just have a quick question why cant I change my name to annesaverimuthu? I dont like the fact that it has to be followed by a 2, and I really dont think theres another person on MM with my name.

Yes, definitely. You are a very beautiful young woman. This can be appreciated in every image you have in your port, except for this one.

And sitting on a sink! sad  Nooo!

Welcome to MM.

You are beautiful with expressive eyes, wonderful cheek bones and lips.  You need to work with some photographers in your area for TF sessions to build your portfolio. 

Wish you lived closer.

Remove the bathroom shot. - both the setting and your pose are not flattering. Your face is fabulous.

Turning your nose beyond the edge of your face emphasizes it's size (true of everyone) especially if highlighted by flash or sunlight. Clothing, when it does not outline body shape, makes the body look larger because all one sees is the clothing.

Practice poses in front of the mirror with and without clothing so you can see how your position changes your shape. Practice with more photographers. You should have no problem finding TFP shoots. Look at their portfolios first to decide whether you would want to be included in that group.

All the best and have fun!

Do remember that you need to keep a minimum of four images in your portfolio.

Hi Anne,
I can only give you thoughts from my perspective.
1)I would have you move away from the background, in the photos I take I want the background to be a soft blur so as not to be distracting.
2)I would recommend only one photo per slot, more than one becomes distracting
3)Watch the editing, too much whitening of teeth and eyes can have a negative impact
Some photos to add would be full length, ¾ length and some photos that show off your modeling abilities.

I wish you well

Hello,

You could post this question to the very bottom thread on the forums page called Site related forum or send a message to a moderator to ask too.

Hopefully that will help if it isn't already answered here.
