Great work, I liked the page, I will be glad to receive any tips.

Thank you for the 'like'! We appreciate the support...

I only viewed your non-nude images and you have a good look. There weren't enough images to really give you constructive words as to the whole of your port. But, I will say that I would like to see you with a variation of hairstyling/make-up. From the few images I looked at, it seems like you have an awareness of your body while posing and this is important of course. Keep with it and please let me know when you upload more images and I will give you more feedback. Take care!

Liked, please critique

Thanks for the 'like' Celine.

I understand that you're just starting out and trying to make money, through modeling, to pay for college. My critique is based on this...

Your port is good. It's a plus that you have a variety of pictures in your port because this shows flexibility. I think you would be best in lifestyle-type modeling, or maybe even beauty. Try to find the absolute best photographers that you can who will shoot TFP and specialize in lifestyle/beauty, but be aware of scams or people who are just using photography as a front to 'hook-up'. Try to always take someone with you on these shoots not only because you are younger, but because it's an overall good idea for anyone working TFP.

Keep at it and let me know if you need any help along the way. Take care.

Your port is good overall. I think you would be best suited for swimsuit modeling. Try to find a photographer who will work TFP, and who specializes in swimsuit photography. Let me know when you put some new pictures up and I will provide you with more feedback. Keep at it! Take care.

You have a good port, but limited of course. I noticed that the 9 pictures you have up are all with natural light. You've done a good job with exposing for the available light. Have you tried studio work yet? I would pay close attention to angles. Angles are very important when you are working with llamas for commercial-type work. You said you enjoyed gothic but wanted to go outside of that as well and I think this is a good idea for any photographer because it allows you to experience what you like and dislike. With gothic, besides for-the-fun-of-it, try to keep in mind the commercial application and how you can move your pictures into images that can be then sold. Please let me know if you would like me to critique future work that you are involved in. Take care.

Mary---Thank for the 'like' and the 27!

Your 'eye' for creativity and aesthetics shows in your port. Overall your port is good, and your bio shows pizazz.

I understand that modeling might come second to school but I'm still going to take liberty in providing you with feedback that might focus your modeling work more...It seems like you have the potential to garner some commissioned fashion and beauty work. I don't know if you have a book yet or not but try to make your online version as solid as possible. There are some pictures in your port that take away from the quality of others. Try to only display the absolute best image, from any given shoot, that you can. Perhaps enlist the help of a commercial(published) photographer in the beauty and/or fashion industry that would be willing to help you sort through the 'good' and the 'best'. As far as what you have now, I would be willing to give you my advice on which ones to drop from your MM port at least.

Also, I read that you are proficient with hair-styling and make-up but enlisting those who do this full-time will allow you to focus on only 'modeling' during the shoot. I would like to see more variety in your hair-styling as well.

Please let me know if you need anything throughout your journey. Keep at it!

so what do you think........

Gustavo...Have you 'liked' our page?

Your port is extensive. You have many models in a variety of sets. You seem to have good control of lighting. You've listed many different areas of specialization, and this is reflected in your port. What do you enjoy shooting most? I would focus on working with angles and the posing of models you're working with. Further, there are some great ideas displayed in your port but many of them are with the wrong model. When you have an idea for a potential shoot, try to select the absolute best(right) model for the concept because the concept often falls flat without the model to match it. I would also, although I understand the diversity of your shooting  styles, remove some of the images from your port. Try more for quality than quantity. Overall, your port is good and I enjoyed viewing your pictures. Keep at it!

Have you 'liked' our page?

I see a good port. It is limited but good nevertheless. What do you enjoy shooting most? I think your beauty-type work is the most lasting. You seem to have a good grasp on lighting and mood. Some of your pictures, however, take away from the quality of others which---in turn---takes away from the overall feel of your port. Keep at it and let me know if you put anything new up that you would like for me to take a look at. Take care.

I liked your FB page, so here I am mentioning the number 27 I'd love any feedback you have for me!

Erin,

Thanks for the 'like' and for the 27!

You have a limited, but good set of pictures. I think you would do best in beauty-type work. Try to find a professional photographer who specializes in beauty work and who will shoot TF. This photographer should have access to a creative team including: stylists(hair, wardrobe-accessories) and make-up...at minimum. Often times newer models ask me about the overall process of commercial shoots and I always tell them that it's not all about the photographer, it is the team as a whole unit who create great images that have lasting power. So, again, try to find a photographer that has a team already in place or at least who has access to one.

I'm not sure what your overall goal is with modeling, but, again, you do have a good look for beauty work. Please let me know if you have any questions along the way or if you want me to give you a critique on specific images. Take care.

Sarah,

Thank for the 'like' and for the 27!

I think you have some good pictures, for what they are. As far as a 'look', I would say that you would probably do best working towards beauty modeling(cosmetics) or even perhaps swimsuit. Try to find a professional photographer who is willing to shoot TF, who specializes in these areas, and who will not take advantage of you. Try to always bring someone with you on these shoots. There are probably many photographers that fall in this category that you can search for on here; send some messages out and try to set-up some shoots. Please let me know if you need any help along the way with advice on pictures, or even about the overall process of image creation and modeling. Take care and keep at it!

Thanks so much for the feedback and the kind words! Which photos would you recommend for me to delete? I got rid of a few recently so hopefully my portfolio is a lot cleaner now. Planning on adding a few new things soon as well.

I definitely agree about the hair and makeup. It's always so much more convenient for me to just go to a shoot, get my hair and makeup done, and then do nothing but focus on modeling rather than take out two hours of the day before the shoot to get all that done myself. And I definitely need more hair styles in my portfolio as you said. I'll get on that soon.
