Awesome Marcus! Welcome to MM smile Sorry to hear about your accident. Hope you can go back to shooting.

You works is brilliant! Bold, sexy, gorgeous. But you know that already smile

A bit too much T&A to my taste, for instagram it's top content.

One thing though, hyde_marcus signs across the pictures is last century. Some of us used to watermark our images years before instagram, nowadays only degenerates do it. Drop it, stay above.

Stay cool, stay awesome Marcus!

Hey Felix, how have you been?

Marcus: I have to agree with Felix. The watermark and its positioning is pretty horrible. I stopped watermarking my work in 2014.

I will tell you now, I'm very picky and not as kind as Felix.

First the good:

https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/45896620 A nice, simple portrait. Nice natural light.

https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/45896540 This I like as well. Good cropping. Nice mirror work. It's a little obscene which I see as a strength.

https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/45896127 This is well executed glamour. Nice coloration.

https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/45896410 Well executed catalog portrait.

https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/45896398 Blue sky, sand, shadow, woman. Foreground, middle ground, back ground. They all work well in this picture.


Now the bad, which I think you should remove:

https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/45896621 Overly orange. Screaming white sky. Not the most flattering angle for the model either. The earrings are bad styling.

https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/45896568 Again, too orange. No neck.

https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/45896536 Bad angle. Ugly surface. No neck. Again, screaming whites.

https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/45896435 Pointless.

https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/45896402 No neck.

https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/45896399 No detail in the blacks.

https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/45896420 Not flattering.

https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/45896400 Pointless. Text is not enough.

https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/45896364 It's pretty obvious this is not a flattering picture.

https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/45896128 No neck.

https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/45896359 No neck. Very awkward positioning of the watermark.

https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/45896130 Miss Just Ass. I don't know.

https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/45896125 Way too warm. The blood orange and yellow are ugly. Screaming glare.



The rest is meh. Pretty good for the MM world. Can take it or leave it.


All the best,

Jorge

Marcus Hyde is a pretty prominent photographer. Was too late to see the pictures or the profile but I wonder if this was the real Marcus Hyde

I'm not a gambling Man but if I had to wager I'd bet on a nope and the profile was removed by the Mods.
