Ok... clearly you have serious issues about shooting straight on! Almost every single shot in your port is either looking up their noses or looking down at them. This is not totally a bad thing...you just need to be careful because it can make some people look really bad when you shoot them this way. It can also distort things and make either their head or feet look too big. A bunch of shot in your port would look way better if they were shot straight on. This one I do like though:

Keep on shooting!

Hello! I think that you have a long way to go. You are very young, so this should not be a problem for you. You are going to run into a huge road block with your height. If you want to really pursue this professionally you will have to lose a few pounds. This is strictly for this industry..you are 16..do not go out and starve yourself! Think about it before you eat at Mcdonalds. I see that you weigh 107 pounds...you are 5ft 2 though.
Before you do anything..you need to decide what type of modeling you want to do. I would then only shoot that. This way you build up your port so you are ready to show what you want to do professionally. Since you are 16..you will find a lot of people in this industry will not want to work with you. Do not get upset about this..It might just mean that you have to pay the good photographers to get the good shots. I hope your parents are totally supportive of you since they have to be there on every shoot to sign a release. If this is the case I would write this in your bio.
This is my favorite shot of you so far:

I would like to see more of these!
Keep on shooting!!! If you need more advice be sure to check out www.newmodels.com

This is by far your best shot:

It should hands down be your avatar. It is also your most flattering shot. I see you are into this goth, fetish stuff. This is totally not my thing...Where do you plan on going with this? Do you just want cool pics of yourself for myspace? I do not see a huge market for this in a professional market. I see you are sorta on the short side...runway is not an option for you. As I told the last girl go to www.newmodels.com I think this will help you a bit. You need a few good head shots...they are very important. Good luck!

Would love your opinion

You are just absolutely adorable! You have a bit of height problem...so no runway for you. I think you are great for glam though..even commercial. Do not change that hair, I love that look on you! This is my favorite shot of you:

You look stunning here! Keep on shooting and work on your facial expressions. I think that getting photographers to shoot with you should not be a problem. I would also look at other models ports and really try to learn their poses. I would like to see your posing tweeked a little bit. My absolute favorite shot of you is under your bio...I can't comment on it if it is there!
Good Luck!!!

let me know what you think of mine, mine is a little old so I am about to update it

I think you have great idea...you are just not implementing it correctly. I think you need to work on your photoshop work especially. I see contrast, hue, levels...all wrong. I think you need better equipment once you learn photoshop. I say this because it looks like you are using a pop up flash if anything at all. You say that you have been paid since high school....You must have just graduated. I am not trying to be mean at all. I have gone through the same stages when I started in high school. The more classes I took the better I got. I would recommend you do the same. Join PPA...It would be a very smart move. I also see you cropping incorrectly. I see limbs and toes cut off. This is my favorite shot of yours, It bugs me that her foot is cut off.

I would take out your lower quality work out. More is not better here. Only post your strongest images. Your weaker images take away from your strong ones.
Hold your chin up high and keep on shooting!

I love to get feedback from models... hit me!

Hello! I am not sure if you read the original post..I am a photographer, model and MUA. All in that order actually. I have to say I am totally in love with your fashion stuff. You have the lighting nailed. I would assume you help models pose...i dig the posing. You are certainly working with some very talented MUA's and Stylists. This is my favorite shot of yours. It really stood out to me from the rest in your port. I think because it is so different from the others.

I would like to see more on location stuff from you. Most of your work is in a studio...time to master the outdoors!
Other than that..hit me up if you make it to my neck of the woods!

Yes please

Hi! I am sooo in love with this shot! You did it the correct way and went authentic. I hate it when people try and do pin up or vintage and it is all modern stuff.

You look amazing here! You are nice and tall which is a good thing...according to your weight you are nice and curvy which is great for pin up, not so good for runway. I think that so far you are on a pretty good start. I would remove 2 images right away. You are wearing a mask of makeup in the one...it is horribly done! The other is a shot where it looks like you are playing with puppets. It looks cheezy and there is way too much going on. Other than that...keep on shooting!

I would love to know what you think! I need all the feedback I can get so I can improve!

First off...I am really glad that you acknowledge that you have room for improvement. I see many people who are just starting out who think they know more than god. Anyways...I think that you are off to a great start. Looks like you had one real photo shoot so far. You got some great results from it. I love the hair by the way. I would not have every single image up. I would have narrow it down to at least half as many. Get rid of your home shots...and keep only the best. More is not better here. This is my favorite shot:

It is a fantastic shot! I would like to see you in a little more makeup. I think you should put up a casting call for one the next time you have a shoot scheduled. It will make a huge difference. The other thing I would do is practice in front of the mirror. You need work on your facial expression. You could also do this by looking at other models ports. Check out www.newmodels.com
Best of luck to you!

Wondering if you have some time?

I do...thanks. I see a whole bunch of things that need improvement. Please do not get offended by anything I am about to say. First thing....get a MUA, do not do this yourself. Makeup is totally different for photo shoots. Plus, the colors you are using are totally wrong. I think you need to lose a couple of pounds..Again, do not go out and starve yourself! This is a tough industry...trust me! Due to the weight issue, you should not be wearing certain outfits. The belly needs some toning. I would work on your expressions, they look the same in all of them! This is my favorite shot of you..

You look super pretty and natural.Keep it up girl!!

haha, i know ill never be a runway model, (no delusions here) and my goal is definitely not to have "cool pics of myself for myspace," since my arms-length-self-shots are waayyy better myspazz pics.
i do it for the fun/art. if someone would want to pay me, thats cool too. but im good for now. thank you for looking over my port!

I'd like one

I think that you are very close to being the professional you want to be! I am not sure where you are going with your photography. This is a really tough market, in regards to photographing models. It appears as though you have some sort of a studio...why not shoot families and babies for extra cash. This is what I do. You can make a killing shooting weddings, babies and high school seniors. There is not a whole lot in the modeling industry..I do it on the side..it keeps me sane with all the boring stuff. It keeps my creativity level up. I would say that your lighting is a bit flat. I think this is what you are going to need to step up your port another notch. Here is my favorite shot of yours:

I think that you should pick up a few photography classes. Thanks for sharing!

WOW...I am in love with your port! You clearly have been at this for a pretty long time. You have some wonderful editing done to all of them. It seems like you have worked with some great mua's as well as stylists and models. You work is very inspirational to us all here! Here is my favorite shot..even though I had a very hard time picking the "best" shot!

I will be back to see more!

I do not like either of the 2 shots with the pick top. I think you look like you are in high school and you are trying to hard to stick your boobs out! I would not use it as an avatar at least.

still doing critiques? i got some new pics and would love to hear what you think.

For just starting out I think you are doing a pretty good job! I think the pin up look is just perfect for you..you certainly have the right hairstyle and body shape. I always thought they are super fun to dol! This is my absolute favorite pic in your port. I say make it your avatar!

You look stunning here! Keep it up...i think I will have to visit your page again in a few months and see what you have done!

Talk to me! 

Well hello there! You know that I like your work. I have to admit there are a few things i do not like though. Not so much on this page though..I do not like your glam stuff. I think it is cheezy...do not take offense to this. I do not like glam in general..I hate cheezy glam. I do really like your outdoor work, as well as your fashion and lifestyle work. I do not see you doing much of this stuff anymore. Switch it up! This one here is my favorite shot in this port:

I have always been a huge fan of this one! Now...I better see more of the good stuff!!!!

I would like some advice if ya have the time! Thanks

The first thing I thought when reading your bio was that you were going to have an amazing port. You seemed to talk yourself up quite a bit. After I opened up your photos I was pretty disappointed in the quality of work. I don't not think most of it is your fault though. I just see some really bad photography. Because of this, it reflects poorly on you. I personally will not shoot with the bad photographers even if they want to pay me. I want to always be viewed as high quality I guess you could say. I think you have some great poses and expressions! This shot happened to be my favorite.

This is a stunning image! If I were you, I would get rid of the weak shots in your port. It will make you look like a much better model...even if there are only 5 pics left!

I have to say that for just starting out..i do not think you could be off to a better start! You have some beautiful images. As well as a pretty good variety of shots. You are going to have no problems getting represented from agencies. You are a good height and weight! This shot was my favorite:

This is a fantastic shot of you! Build up your port over the next couple of months and only work with the best...then you need to seek representation pronto!

You have some very nice work in your port! I love your outdoors stuff. There are 2 images I am not a fan of...that would be the 2 where there are rose petals involved. They do not seem right. The flowers in the hair is over done, and the other is shot at a bad angle. This one here is my favorite:

Keep it up..I would love to see more work from you!

Thanks for taking the time for my critique. It's encouraging to hear that I'm on the right path. I'm trying to set up some more shoots as we speak and I'll be looking to find some representation a.s.a.p. Thanks again!
