I will tell you if you should be getting paid always, or if you're on some of that good crack. EDIT: All models who get responses are free to attack me in any way they'd like. Also, anyone else (photographer or otherwise) that thinks I suck, or I'm not qualified in any way to do this, feel free as well.

However, honestly when I looked through your portfolio nothing grabbed my attention. I didn't click a single image to view it larger or move my head right up to the monitor to try and simulate that same effect. But that's just me. Feel free to rip apart/attack my portfolio or me personally -- you have carte blanche.

I don't only do Paid assignments although I'd love to think I'm good enough. Either way, your opinion is appreciated. Thank you kindly.

The type of work you seem to want to get into makes it hard to respond because it's not exactly the kind of model I was looking for, but I will say this -- you need to work with better photographers.

If you were to say "paid assignments only, no exceptions" on your profile, my response would be far more negative. I think better photographers would be necessary to unleash your full potential. I'd definitely work with you and change the world.

NicoleNudes wrote: Sure For a nude model, you work out as someone who can go for pay always. It's your choice to do that obviously, and you will definitely limit the quality of photographers you can work with based on that. I would not pay you for instance, but you definitely have gotten some decent photographers to shoot you and have produced some great stuff (amazing no, but not just good, great). Now did they all pay you, realistically? Probably not. But anything you got paid for, I think you rightfully deserved, because your look is great, and you definitely do a exceptional job with what you have. PS. I like how you complemented me on one of my pictures right before your critique. Interesting tactic. ;-P

When i say "limited TFP" it means i'm very very selective and accept maybe 10% TFP work.

I will work with multiple photographers so you can split up the cost. I'm available for a wide variety of work, including some fetish work and art nudes. fly me to you and I'll do a half-day free." I think for nudes, just like NicoleNudes, you deserve to be paid when the opportunity presents itself. Although I definitely do see her as a higher caliber nude model. Some of the stuff in your port is terrifyingly bad and really brings down the entire look and cheapens your "brand." Your rates listed on your page however are laughable. I'd be willing to bet that you "negotiate" almost always to a considerably lower price. You list modeling as your full time job, and there's nothing more crackin than that. Sorry. I wouldn't be surprised if the average Chipotle employee makes more than you do modeling. They work much more than you do, but still. I'd be willing to bet you could have an actual job in addition to your modeling. I have to question why you wouldn't. Respond as negatively as you'd like.

But this could be due to a super busy schedule with whatever else you have going on in your life or something. I don't get the "paid only no exceptions" vibe from your profile at all. But if so, crackin heavily. No way.

I won't argue with you, I could have a day job if I chose to. In the winter months I work part time, the rest I'm traveling and doing what I love. As of recently most photographers choose my half day rate. Thanks for playing
