Me! Sounds fun!

First of all, what kind of name is Rafu? It sounds like some second rate musician trying to pawn off a cheesy Pan Flute CD or something. Most of your work looks like an exerpt from a bad David Lee Roth video. Try and find some real style in your work rather than copying someone elses crap that doesn't work.

Actually, style DOES seem to be your strongest suit. You mix it up well and present it consistently in your port.

Thanks for being the first to take an insult!

Cool,  I'm game.  Love to hear what you have to say.

Let's be honest here. You should be the first to AGMIT that your work is more wannabe than it is professional. First of all, they're called thumbnails for a reason. I can tell by the mix of your work that you are a closet bisexual. I'm guessing y ou have a pod set up in your home where you pleasure yourself while looking at this mix of character work. I mean....a guy blowing bagpipes? Could that be any more of an indication? Come out of the closet man....and let your work blossom.

Actually, the variety that you show in your work is your strength. You show that you can effectively harness many kinds of subject matter and do it well. I like your use of lighting too.

I like the closet, it's warm and cosy. What's more it's a save place to hide from angry clients who find out they've been tricked into hiring a wannabe.  Anyway, what's not normal about photographing a man wearing a skirt while squeezing a bag and rapping his lips around the end of a tube?!

Cheers

For crying out loud....could you look any LESS interested in what you are doing in most of your shots? I mean seriously, look at your lifeless expression. It's like modeling is a chore for you. Find something that you actually enjoy doing adn MAYBE everybody won't look at you like a bitch in models clothing. Sheesh! And what's whith this: https://www.modelmayhem.com/pic.php?pid=2468199

Don't you realize that the "Princess Leia" look went out almost 30 years ago?

Honestly, I think you know how high on you I actually am. Your expression is actually quite a solid mood expression and your eyes carry a lot of that weight on their own. You are intensely sexy and beautiful which is why many of the top Minneapolis photographers have wanted to work with you.

Are you serious? You actually think people won't be able to tell that you are scanning photos from the Sears catalog and Chris Isaak videos? Try showing your OWN work. Plus, it says on your profile that you have extensive photoshop experience. to me it looks like you couldn't draw a dick on a stick man with an Etch-a-Sketch. If you can't take your own photos and have to steal from others material I suggest you give up being a photographer and get into politics.

Keeping it real, the reverse of what I said is true. Your stuff is so good its commercial quality and looks just like a Chris Isaak video. Your finishing is awesome and truly one of your finest talents. Thanks for playing!

Oh... another thread by Michael.  Me next, let the evil humor begin!

You asked for it.....your profile says you have been trying to launch your photography career for as long as you can remember. Well, it looks like you are still trying based on the portfolio of smut you have here. What did you do.....go through the Hawaiian phone book and randomly call people begging them to let you take their picture? I've seen better shots come out of a Kodak Ektra-lite 10 for shit sake. I suppose you're still trying to launch careers as a Phsycologist, Massage Therapist, Pro Athlete, Astronaut, and TV reporter too huh?

You know that I like the approach you have towards your work. You shoot a variety of people and do it well. I love your black and white stuff, the welder shot and especially the one of the little girl.

Sounds like fun. I'm pretty easy to insult, knock yourself out!

Your profile says "I'd like to pursue a career as an alternative model, especially in pin-up style or fetish/bondage photography or video. But mostly, I love photographers with off-the-wall concepts for shoots, so drop me a line!"

Basically what you are saying is that you are willing to have sex with photographers and take a shot in the face in pursuit of your career in porn. Looking at your slutty photos this is definitely the case. Don't disguise yourself...call it what it is. You want to be an adult film star. Nothing wrong with that, just don't call yourself a model. You'll make more money doing fetish films than you will in modeling.

On a serious note, the fact that you are willing to stretch your boundaries and try some alternative stuff sets you ahead of the pack. You do a great job with the darker, more erotic stuff. You also have some of the finests breasts I've seen on this site. Your look is a lot like Avril Lavigne, which right now would mean you should be in high demand. Your port is really nicely done.

Oh, man! Nobody's called me a porn star wannabe since I left Baptist school!

But thank you for the compliments; since I'm primarily interested in dark, erotic things, it's nice to know I'm capable of doing them well!

I'll take some!

I have never seen a better poster child for Crack Whore. It looks to me like oyu'll take any shoot and do any style just for enough money to score your next fix or to get some blow from some addict photographer. I mean just lok at some of yoour shots....clearly anyone can see the lust for the dust in your eyes. Take a few months off and put yourself through treatment.

In all seriousness I think one of your biggest strengths does lie within your versatility. You can do all kinds of fashion from formal to urban and you can also carry the intensity of some artistic work. These qualities supercede your great looks and body. Well done!

Hi, Michael, you just gave me a critique two days ago, thanks but I have never laughed so hard as reading this thread.  You have to be able to laugh at yourself once in awhile, so go ahead and rip away.  Oh, by the way can we do a rip on you?

Stop the ass kissing. I'm not one of the models that you try and lasso for a shot at some poontang. I think it's pretty obvious from the pussy stampede you have in your port that your goal is not art, it's the pursuit of snapper. Try taking a class or two and then buying something other than a point and click. In the meantime, go to match.com, adultfriendfinder, or craigslist for your next hump.

I think you know that I like your work and some of the creative and edgy concepts you try. I think your creative approach and willingness to get better is what actually makes you good.

And you can ABSOLUTELY insult me. Since you brought it up, then you can be the first to take a whach at it. Everyone get in line and take a number.

Tania Lin:P

Ahhh yes, our resident MM biker bitch. This is a woman who, in a drunken stupor one night took a cue from some of her biker friends as they were gang-banging her...that she should become a model. Your self-esteem is obviously lower than the quality of your photos. Next time some fat harley rider tells you to take up a career in modeling you should bite him in the balls and run.

Tania, you know that I think you have striking good looks highlighted by some phenomenal eyes. your body really is to die for....speaking of which, I would die for more photos in your port to look over. Be well my sexy friend!

Go for it

Your profile says "Iam a determined young woman that is on a mission to follow her dreams. Iam an INDEPENDENT model that is seeking to work with photographers, fashion designers, casting directors to do editorial ads, television commercials, fashion shows etc"

What you are really saying is that you are a pissed off lesbian who won;t let any man tell her what she can or cant do. Somebody did you in the back end once without permission and now you have a bash on men and every field they dominate. Your poses and expressions show your hatred of the man behind the camera. You tease him just because you can.

In actuality, you've done my threads before and I think you're a sweetheart. One of my current photos on all of MM is on the very bottom left of your port. You ahve great legs and a fresh face. Again, you are another model who I wish had more photos in her port to showcase your beauty.

Oh goo.  I caught one of these early enough to get a full dose of venum.  Go ahead... I need to get a sense of humor about how my feeble efforts look.

Hillbilly, you are a dirty bastard who manipulates people everywhere you go. By day you hold a sign that says "will work for food." By night you take that money and lure skanky sluts out of the back 40 to take crude and disgraceful photos before having them finish you and the shoot with a "gumjob." Get yourself on the straight and narrow. Stop this facade before your wife catches you.

Really, you have a vibrant and colorful take on many of your subjects. I like how you use light and I also appreciate the depth and variety in your work. Your finishing touches do add more artistic value to your images. Nicely done.

Do me.

Do you? Is that what you say to all of your photographers? You start every shoot on your knees in front of them and "adjust their lens" before they shoot? You look every bitthe part of the cheap floosy who is willing to sleep her way to the top only to be kicked in the gutter after attempting to blow a gay photographer. Too bad your brain isn't as good as your body.

Everything I just said with you is the exact opposite. You can do sexy and classy work and do it well. The versatility and variety in your work is impressive. Photographers should be lining up to work with you.Personally, I think you are made for vintage black and white work. Stunning.

Poor Elise.....the talentless Wedding photographer. Those who can't take good photos in the real world turn to the boring, mundane, lifeless world of cookie cutter wedding photography. You probably also enjoy the missionary position in bed 100% of the time. You lack energy, initialtive, and creativity. Your wedding photos suck too.

Actually, your ability to take everyday people and settings and turn them into fine, apprciable art is you finest quality in my opinion. You set the bar with versatility and variety in your work. I also appreciate how you have participated in many of my silly games. Your work is something special and so are you.

OK, I meant to write "bring it on."  Anything else?

Sure you meant to say that. Bullshit, you're the classic high school dropout. Illiterate from day one. You lack the brains to lead you anywhere so you hide behind the viewfinder of a camera. You claim to have had some succes in gallery shows, but the fact is nobody came. You can't hang pictures in the outside of a large cardboard box in an alley and call it a gallery showing. Nice try. You'd make more money if you hocked the shoes that you jacked last week.

The follow up here is of course that the depth in quality of many of your images DOES show that they gallery works. I can almost visualize the nice display you would present. The shot of the little girls is one of my favorites. Your compositions and finishing touches make your photos something to remember.
