Hi Mayhemers

I'm looking for some critique of my portfolio.  I've been away from my practice for 5 years.  Looking to refresh my skills.

- Overall Portfolio comment
- Is it dated and ideas of freshness
- Best shots still to keep
- Shots need to be retired

Looking forward to your comments.

• You have plenty of nice work in your portfolio.
• I'm getting old, so I'm dated; therefore, your portfolio is not dated to me.
• keep: most of them. My advice it to keep images in the concepts/direction you wish to pursue in the future
• retire1: https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/1 … d3da_m.jpg
• retire2: https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/2 … 1e92_m.jpg

Retiree#1: something seems off to me. Perhaps the splash of bright colors in a sea of less colorful images in your portfolio. Her express doesn't seem right to my eyes.
Retiree#2: It is nothing like your other images. The leg spread is off-putting to some, even without showing. "Implied Explicit"? idk. Just seems different than your others.

You were doing this level of high quality work over 10 yrs ago - ( edit ) and I think they stand the test of time

Overall I found your portfolio to be of very high quality. Some pretty good concepts.
The picture I don't like is swimwear on dead tree. Lighting and composition are weak.
