This critique is closed. No longer critiquing because in most cases it's a phenomenal waste of my time. Jun 22 13 05:49 pm Link Yes please! Jun 22 13 05:51 pm Link Sarah_ wrote: Sarah your work is phenomenal, but you know this! You have varied expressions (a genuine smile), show great movement, can easily morph yourself into different visions. The only thing that irks me about your entire port is your most recent photo. You look lovely but your eyes are somewhat buggy, like someone has held them open way too widely. Keep up the great work doll! Jun 22 13 05:58 pm Link Paige Thomley wrote: Thank you! Jun 22 13 06:02 pm Link Okay then, don't hold back. Jun 22 13 06:23 pm Link I'm just starting but shoot! Jun 22 13 06:26 pm Link Sure why not? Jun 22 13 06:27 pm Link I'd love some feedback What do you love, what do you hate? Jun 22 13 06:29 pm Link Me please. Jun 22 13 06:29 pm Link Decay of Memory wrote: You've got some cool sh*t man! The only one that doesn't really fit in your port is the last one with the lady and the dog. It doesn't really mesh with all your other stuff. Also, maybe you should consider changing from an artist/painter to a photographer, if you actually take the photos and then edit them to be the way they are. If I was coming to your area as a model, I probably would not have even come across your port because I (and I think a lot of models) don't search for artists, but photographers. Maybe you could even keep this existing one and get another one. Maybe that is a stupid idea, but I'm critiquing so there! Jun 22 13 06:32 pm Link If you don't mind. Jun 22 13 06:34 pm Link Gabrielle Ann wrote: Keep #2 and #5. Everything else is either boring, looks like you and a friend just had fun with a camera, or is unflattering for the model. At the very least make #5 your avatar. I wouldn't click on your current one unless I was doing a critique, which lucky for you I am! Also, try planning out a shoot. Ya know, a concept once in awhile never hurt anyone. Oh yeah, and don't give up, keep at it and all that happy stuff. Jun 22 13 06:37 pm Link Jay Farrell wrote: Okay Jay, are you ready? Too bad cause here I go- Jun 22 13 06:52 pm Link Have at it. I always like to get a model's perspective. Jun 22 13 06:55 pm Link I am in - thanks !

Jun 22 13 07:02 pm Link JWC54321 wrote: I'd start by switching your avatar to the first photo in your port. Also, try to maybe put some effort into your bio. The whole short and sweet thing comes off as I don't give a sh*t. To be honest, none of your photos are remarkable. None of them make me want to shoot with you (not that you'd want to shoot with ME but just sayin'). You just seem like a guy with a camera shooting willy nilly whoever stumbles in front of your camera. Number one is good, 2 is okay, 3 would be good without the model distracting me from the boat, and everything else kind of goes downhill from there man. I wish I had something better to say...you just need to practice more. Also, get rid of #7. She looks like she's taking a poop. Jun 22 13 07:06 pm Link go for it Jun 22 13 07:08 pm Link Curious to hear your opinion. Jun 22 13 07:14 pm Link Me please Jun 22 13 07:16 pm Link Flair Photography wrote: Maybe bullet point your bio or something. I got bored by the second sentence. It should be easy to skim and pick up the important stuff. Yet another photographer who has no idea how to edit down their portfolio. Less us more!

Of your newest shoot with the white and pink dress only keep #5. You shoot better edgy commercial work in my opinion. Jun 22 13 07:28 pm Link Paige Thomley wrote: Thanks!

All of them are cliche, the models can't pose and look uncomfortable...maybe you should take a few classes. Jun 22 13 07:31 pm Link ok go Jun 22 13 07:31 pm Link Hit me Jun 22 13 07:34 pm Link Joseph William wrote: #5 and 6 should be cut down to just the top images. The bottom ones aren't nearly as good and bring the awesome ones above it down. All I could think of when I saw the two abandoned building shots were, "THAT's what you did with that awesome building?!" So much unleashed potential for that place. Go there again with more creative models (like me!). Overall good port and well edited to your strongest images. Jun 22 13 07:36 pm Link I am game Jun 22 13 07:40 pm Link Christine Ford wrote: A few notes on your bio: no one cares how long you've been modeling. You're not impressing people by saying that, you impress people with your images...take a closer look at your sentence structure or have someone else look at it. You come off as a tad bit illiterate...Abbey is cute...I like your sense of humor. Jun 22 13 07:43 pm Link Yupppers i'll go! Jun 22 13 07:45 pm Link Paige Thomley wrote: Thanks.. It's awesome to have an outsiders point of you. Jun 22 13 07:47 pm Link David M Russell wrote: I don't like #2. The makeup is weird and the hairdo...it just isn't doing anything for me, but that's just me. #5 looks like a school picture. Not on par with your other work. #14 is bad. Jun 22 13 07:49 pm Link I don't mind you being a bitch, so long as you're an objective bitch Jun 22 13 07:49 pm Link Go for it. Jun 22 13 07:53 pm Link Shoot.. Jun 22 13 07:53 pm Link Bitch away!!! Jun 22 13 07:53 pm Link Paige Thomley wrote: Thanks, I do take the photos and should probably change that artist/painter designation, it was left over from a previous idea where I was altering the images more by hand and then re-scanning. These are slides soaked in water until I get a level of degradation I'm after and although it is a physical process and gets a painterly look it's a bit of a misnomer to call it other than photography.
