This is mainly for photographers. Would it be beneficial for you to see images that are not retouched in a models port especially if the model was older? I have set up an album to show images of me not retouched, other than contrast/bright/levels and cropping nothing else has been touched. Not asking for critique just wondering if you like the idea..

I thought maybe it would be cool to see one or two from different photographers or maybe in different genres...

Nah, just a few unretouched face/body shots should be fine- something like this:

It's the photographer's job to visualize the end result, whatever that genre might be.

photographers who can get great shots without a MUA or extensive photoshop definitely have my admiration.

Yes, they're called Polaroids, a term held over from pre-digital days.  A face shot and full-length snapshot with a P&S is fine, in jeans and a T or a bikini.  Turn off the flash, stand facing a bright window, have a friend take the picture.  It doesn't matter the age of the model, Polaroids are always useful.

The shots above of Sophie are a good example.
