You have a decent look and are tall enough for lots of stuff. HOWEVER....

1. You need to decide what you want to do. Your list on your profile is all over the place and most of what you listed isn't shown in your portfolio.

2. Drop the demand for an escort. Its obvious that you are going to demand that your b/f come along and that's a deal-breaker for many of us. Its also not going to fly if you want to move up to much paid work.

3. Have you been talking to commercial agencies?

4. Obviously not doing nudes is your choice, for commercial work it is not a problem but for other genres it will hold you back.

"Starting in JANUARY I will be doing select TFP/CD "
Does that mean your going to start charging? You have a good START to your port but you dont have much in there. I dont see any amazing headshots in your port and theres really only one full bodied shot in your port. Its hard for me to judge/critique your overall look and port because of that. You are very pretty but I think you need to work on building up your port.

1. the pics in my list are themes/ideas I'd like to shoot. I'd like to do a little of everything, they aren't shown in my port because I haven't gotten to shoot them yet smile .
2. my escort is usually a female friend, my bf doesn't like going along and definately doesn't want to stay
3. no
4. point taken, just personal preference.

thanks for your input, very much appreciated.

ok, thanks, I will remove the deadline and continue building my port, I am waiting on a lot of pictures from several photographers so I have only a few to choose from and 10 spaces to fill. smile

Anyone/OP can do select TFP/CD without having to charge at the same time.

Nice dress looks perfect for you, wish sun tan lines were minimized, pose could be more animated looks to much like a stand here shot

Your face is over exposed, show me your left hand doing something

What is the purpose of this image to sell the model or the rusty drums? You are way too centered in photo, an interesting environment but all you are doing is standing there

Next time think about a big wrench, yellow boots, an umbrella, shovel, gloves, hazmat suit, something to connect you with the elements in play

One of your better poses, no detail in your dress, background distracting

You have a wonderful look in this photo, but show me both hands, face a tad overexposed

take some photos like this:

so people can actually see what you look like.

go to fashion agency open calls, if you're interested in fashion work. or browse through photographers in your area and find photographers who shoot fashion, and ask if they'd be interested in testing with you.

*unfortunately I don't have my own car, my bf is my transportation and his car is a POS in many many ways and we have to be VERRY carefull driving on freeways, not to mention we currently arent insurred. We can drive to locations if they are near, or we can meet you close and you could pick us up...we will work something out.

isn't it illegal to drive without insurance?
