I love the new fashion photos, you shoot it very well! My only suggestion is taking more vertical photos, on MM the horizontal photos often get lost in the port, and don't garner the proper attention.
Well done! wink

Hahaha I was going to suggest that you cut your hair short and spikey (kindof like Mikie, the last winner from ANTM) and die it very dark, and you've gone and shaved it all off! LOL! Well, I think it would be stunning if you grew it out a tad and kept it funky smile

Your work is incredible! Every photo is just as good as the next one...amazing. And rare. You do incredible studio work! I would try shooting some beauty shots and see what happens. You're great at everything else, why not? wink

Thanks, I do some beauty work, but with just 20 spaces they never seem to find there way in.

Nearly all your shots are profile, but you have amazing eyes! Let's see them! I would take some crazy Make-up beauty shots- straight on. I think you would be surprised at the outcome!

I would love to see you in a floor length gown with your hair slicked back, in a fashion pose. I think it would show some versatility in your port.

I'd like to see a clean make-up, beauty headshot of you, possibly smiling. In the second photo it looks like you have great teeth, show them! I know I've mentioned it to you before, but when you're too serious, you tighten up your face. Relax a bit, you're beautiful!

Goodness you are talented! My only suggestion is that when you make series, they often are lost on the viewer. I would choose the best photo from each and display it solo. The single photos you have are so much more powerful than the series.

The headhsots in your port are very blurry and cropped strange. It seems as if you cropped them way down from full photos, and that's when they loose their detail.
I would frame them that way in the camera when shooting them.

For only 5'5", you photograph taller, your proportions are great, I would try more fashion and less headshots.

Work on facial expressions. You have the exact same face in every photo, just tweek it a bit, relax your face, open your mouth a little, smile, frown, laugh....

You have a prominent jaw line, maybe try to relax and slightly open your mouth in photos. When you shoot profile it also shows more than when facing the camera straight on.

You'r photoshopping is a bit strong. The skin and features become blurred while the rest of the photo is sharp. Try and dial it down a tad and I think you will achieve much better results. ...Yes, I know you shoot glamour and it's widely accepted to blur beyond recognition LOL;)

You resemble Amy Whinehouse a little wink My suggestion, wear your hair loose, not slicked back. It doesn't do anything for you with it that way. Cheers!
