Would you work with me? Would you pay me, and how much?

What's workimg in my port, what's not?

In return for your brutality, I will shower your port with attention in the form of comments and lists 😘

Would I work with you? YES!  Would I pay you? Like any other model, only if I
have a market for you.   How much? Would vary according to the market.
        What's working or not working? Not a lot to go on here.  You are a pretty lady,
incorporate photos that bring out your personality.
                        Best wishes.

First off, what doesn't work...

You've got a series of images so underexposed that they're useless as portfolio material. You should be showing yourself off, not hiding.
Example:

What works:
You've got plenty of images where we can see *you*.

One of my favorites:

It's got attitude and a dynamic and a story of sorts.

This, however, doesn't work for me:

Badly framed (fingers and half of face cut off). A lot less context than the prior image. You're all bunched up with little to show for it.

Hey there,

Of Your underexposed group keep this one (18+)  Repetition is never a good idea, less is more.

For some reason I like this a lot.

Would I work with You?  Yes.

Thanks all, for the suggestions! I do try to keep things pared down, so I'll almost certainly take heed of the aforementioned advice. I really appreciate it.

I would shoot with you, I looked over your portfolio and think your Hair seams flat in most of your photos, try adding a little volume to your hair it will help balance and bring in those beautiful curves you have! I love the Freckles, great selling point to book with you~  get more experience and shoot with Photographers teach you posing that will help grow and add to your portfolio! Build an Audience, followers and you will get photographer to start paying you, 100.00 an hour with a 2 hour min is a good rate to charge! Be the Best you can be, and have a great photo Journey.
