Damn, we don't have anyone like you here in Aus. I'd love to work with you!

This one is stunning - https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/43551671 - the lighting and expression is really eerie, it creates a very strong mood. I love the fiery ones too, they have some much passion and energy behind them!

I wanted to avoid picking the first in your port so badly, but although i ADORE your stunning art nudes and b&w work, and there were so many close seconds.. something about your expression in this is just perfection. simply beautiful.

Don’t know if your still doing this but I love this portrait, the hair is so fabulous. Looks like you came right out of a Tim Burton movie in a very good way.

I dig this one because it forces the viewers eyes to move.  Lighting draws attention to your face while obvious details fill the rest of the frame, but your expression leads to a sense of curiosity about what might be happening just outside the frame.  Cheers.

Thank you so much beautiful lady.

And likewise, I was really impressed with your work. You're very versatile and honestly, I've never seen a figure like yours. It is absolutely exquisite, your curves are to die for.

Although there are so, so many to choose from, I have to pick one that shows off that stunning body of yours so I've chosen this one  -

It's got such a lovely mood to it and the shape you've made is perfect.

It was REALLY hard to pick because you have some killer fashion shots but in the end, I went with this one -

It's a fabulously strong portrait and sells you beautifully.

or this one

Your posing is also very impressive, you have such a commanding presence in front of the camera.

I can see that you've got a lot to offer a professional photographer and you're in the right place to make it happen.

IMO you know your best ones. You've used them as your album cover and profile pic. I agree with your selection. These are your stand outs for sure:

https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/171030/13/59f7888b17d93_m.jpg

Having said that, your figure is incredible. You just need a creative photographer to capture them in a more clever way than a snap and shoot.

You're both doing a great job in this image but my eyes went to you straight away - which is always the goal in a duo photo, let's be honest smile

The creativity in your work is inspired.

One of the most challenging aspects of model photography is bonding with your model. It's so important that they feel comfortable to create a mood with you. This one is close but her jaw is tense (specifically, the bottom left side of her mouth) and her eyes haven't fully committed to the concept - which stops it from being perfect. There's nothing wrong with the light or the scene or the way you've shot it. It's just about connecting with your model to bring out the best in them. It is my favourite though because it's technically lovely.

Your bodyscapes are really stunning. I wouldn't call them erotic - they're art nude in its most traditional form but it's extremely effective.

Outside of them, this image is beautiful and will appeal to lots of women wanting a boudoir image of themselves - just watch the lines in the forehead as women will typically scrunch up their forehead from this angle and I can see your model has done this, though your soft lighting mostly covers it -

It feels a bit sci-fi to me though I don't know why that is. Her expression was the first thing I looked at. Captivating image.

This is a very strong portrait but would have been better shot against a plain background so that there is no distraction from the model. Otherwise it's a great shot and a good decision to make it a duo tone to increase the dramatic effect, it really complements her expression.

- with some minor photoshop to clean up the dark circles and bags under the eyes, it would make for a very powerful portrait. The natural light is stunning!
