So not only did I face the undead in my dreams, this thread is undead! After a long hiatus, I am ready >:}

Okay MM allowing more photo slots is cool for the people who have the free accounts because 10 photos sucks.

But I really don't think the VIP members should be using up a bunch of the extra slots. Unless you absofuckinlutely amazing in which you can have an entire port filled with those shots that make you stop and stare you shouldn't feel obligated to fill it out just because it's there and just because you can.

With that said, I'm a hypocrite tongue And I know there are photos in my port that should be cut, but dammit it's hard to let go ahahha


Aaaaaanywho.... (yeah you brought me out of hibernation so you get my incessant rambling of the day lolol)

https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/100731/11/4c54672a28cc9_m.jpg this is cute just because it's a good moment. I'd actually keep it just because it shows a bit of your timing ability, which I think is something crucial for a photographer to have as a skill.

https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/100609/22/4c107d1707145_m.jpg I like the way the light lands on her hair.

https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/100702/03/4c2dbd40aa647_m.jpg weird highlights make her look like she's got some Michael Jackson skin thing going on. Cut it or photoshop it out.

https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/100119/15/4b56437070e1c_m.jpg Stock glamour pose. Not really my style, but I think you hit the intent okay.

https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/091203/22/4b18a676557a4_m.jpg This one is not entirely your fault. You get some blame for picking this photo. The expressions are not great. One looks like she's constipated, and the other one looks like she just landed there from planet Irk (+10 points if you get my very random reference) Expression to me can make or break a photo so it is a turn off.

https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/091203/22/4b18a70f68d52_m.jpg Turn off. Bad expression, bad pose, bad angle. Did you notice you made her an amputee?

A lot of your models really have that deer in headlights look down. Look for expression when you're scouting out models. Or hire a couple good ones so you can have it.

https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/091018/20/4adbdb0717721_m.jpg excessive blurring turn off.

https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/091011/12/4ad232db9b00e_m.jpg This is one of my least favorite poses so turn off. Nothing against you, I'm just biased.

https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/091029/14/4aea0ec34b51f_m.jpg This is better and nicer. The flip flops kinda ruin it for me. I'd have toughed it out on that coral for one good shot barefoot.

https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/090922/14/4ab945b1c3af7_m.jpg There is a fine line between 'pucker' and 'duckface' a very fine line...

https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/090922/14/4ab9463fdc95d_m.jpg a trash bag would be just as flattering on her body with this pose. There is no figure shape, and I blame the clothes and pose

https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/090922/14/4ab9460d5c104_m.jpg too dark and she's got the 'durhh' face going on.

okay I'm going to spend most my life here if I list what I think about individual photos, so I'm going to skim through the rest of this mass, and just tell you what I feel you need to hear without regards to grammar haha

https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/090922/14/4ab945e0cb162_m.jpg turn off. Could this smile be any more fake? Yikes.

https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/090922/14/4ab944b7d4471_m.jpg Looks like a myspace pic. No not even a facebook. A myspace.

https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/090811/20/4a823809a573b_m.jpg turn off. bad vignetting.

https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/090811/19/4a8223bc64318_m.jpg turn off. again with the bad angle bad pose. chicken wing arm.

https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/090803/20/4a77a51476fe7_m.jpg turn off. white vignetting doesn't work with color treatment you have here

https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/090726/23/4a6d4eef7bb83_m.jpg better compared to the rest, I'd keep it.

https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/090723/09/4a68898f15964_m.jpg wish it was framed better

https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/090602/01/4a24dd1fe6ead_m.jpg turn off. excessie blurring

https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/090601/00/4a2382422f2ac_m.jpg turn off. blah lighting

https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/090616/08/4a37bc00839fb_m.jpg this is nicer

https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/090608/12/4a2d6c2d1b24c_m.jpg holy shit! a model who can emote. i wish this were sharper though.

https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/090520/19/4a14bfe976eec_m.jpg yeahhhh these models got the 'tude down!

https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/090519/10/4a12e6428c4fc_m.jpg turn off... you outta know why by now smile

I was about to conclude this thing here and say 'sorry not turned on by anything' but then I saw this https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/090411/20/49e166e667063_m.jpg and it caught my eye. I still wouldn't say it's a turn on, but compared to the rest of your port it is.

I do apologize if you've felt I'm being too blunt, but that is the aim of this thread.

P.S. I'm going to start skipping people so I don't fall far behind again

If your reply isn't cookie cutter and unoriginal like "me please" I might be more inclined to skip toward you. I'd be especially inclined if you could be creative in your response. I'll get to it when I can, and try to keep a general order.

Nothing like a little honesty. There are two ways of taking you comments one "so what" the other food for thought. I chose the latter. Thanks

https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/100927/21/4ca16d11d955e_m.jpgThe whole nature nude facade gets marred by the tattoo. Sorta takes away the 'natural' appeal. I think this would look better if you shopped it out. I also think this would have been better had she not been wearing shoes, and had her feet not been cut off.
https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/19638998 18+ ditto about the feet.

https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/100830/16/4c7c416412405_m.jpgI really like the composition of this image. The colors, the arrangement, the lines. The only think I dont like is the modern haircut, and the leaves not being there naturally, and the texture of the skin being lost due to post

https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/100830/16/4c7c3f7470ae7_m.jpg Even better with this pose.

https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/100830/21/4c7c8729607c9_m.jpg I'd cut this one. The angle is odd, and the feet are out of frame.

https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/110309/14/4d77fd75c1390_m.jpg Turn on! This makes me warm and fuzzy inside.

https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/100904/04/4c822b1c22ab9_m.jpg turn off. You have much better quality in your port compared to this. Actually I really don't like the stiffness of this model. Maybe it's the fitness and bulkiness of her arms, but I don't find any pics of her useable.

https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/18492405 18+ I don't see really any artistic composition in this shot. It's very GWC.

https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/100909/20/4c89a0478f677_m.jpg As a saxophone player myself, I CRINGE at this photo. IMO, if you're going to have a model hold an instrument, do your research, and make sure she holds it right. Otherwise, the integrity of the photo is compromised.

https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/101011/22/4cb3ee50d57a0_m.jpg this is interesting

https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/19834655 18+ turn on! This inspires me.

I don't get it. You have some outstanding images, and a bunch of blah images. All the blah images really bring the port down. I can't say there are enough of those OOH images to turn me on.

Another case of filling out your pic slots just because you can. I understand if you're just starting on MM, you need your min 4 photos. The quality of the images you have up is poor, and I'd pick out your 4 minimum and try to test with photographers on here. Don't resort to posting your facebook pics just because you can. Quality over quantity.

If you want to know which four I'd pick...

and this one: https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/110303/07/4d6fb9041c9a1_m.jpg only because it's the only standing shot you have.

Slim pickings.

The four types of shots you want to have as a good arsenal to start with:
*3/4 turn of your profile
*shoulders and above
*waist and above
*Head to toe
You show that you can give a different expression/look with your photos so make sure when you have these four types that you vary the look of your face as well.

Not turned on at all.

+10 points for making me laugh after hearing http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HFop7lFDofw in my head.

Your avi catches my eye for the artistic quality I see in it.

https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/110326/17/4d8e8624d5bd2_m.jpgTurn on

https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/110326/17/4d8e84978c0d3_m.jpg would be nice except it feels like the model doesn't fit with the composition. It doesn't work for me.

https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/100904/13/4c82a7c8bea4b_m.jpg Nothing really appealing to me about this photo. It looks like she took it herself.

https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/100901/20/4c7f1e314677e_m.jpg turn off. Her expression and pose and this angle is just all kinds of awkward.

https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/100824/09/4c73f2132997b_m.jpg pretty, but I don't like that shadow she made on her face. Be aware of what your models are putting in front of the light and stop it before it starts.

https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/100904/10/4c827ebfb831d_m.jpg the wardrobe feels clashy, and I don't like that sliver of feet being out of frame, but this is neat.

https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/100901/20/4c7f1ddb12ea3_m.jpg one of those almost had it type of photos. It would have worked had the head not been out of frame.


I can tell you put a lot of time in your photos. It doesn't feel like it always works. Not enough to turn me on, sorry!

https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/101015/22/4cb9321951213_m.jpgI read the caption, but I really don't get this photo. So is this her dream then? Why is she naked. I'd like this photo better if it were just her without the other stuff in there.  Is she having one of those dreams where she's naked and has to give a speech? Or is this like inception, where it's a dream within a dream... within a dream lol.

https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/21322705 18+ I appreciate the natural beauty in this. It would have been a turn on had there been more space between her toe and the end of the frame. It feels a bit too tight there.

https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/10859131 18+ I like that you have an appreciation for varying body types. If more people could see that we're all imperfect, there'd be less self esteem issues in the world. I don't really like the angle of the photo, but appreciate the meaning behind it.

https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/110220/00/4d60d2f244152_m.jpg This is neat.



I'm warming up, but can't say I'm turned on yet. Not enough to win me over.
