I have a bunch of new photos to upload from 3 recent shoots (3 -4 looks from each shoot) so, I'd like to know what my weakest photos are that should be deleted? Don't hold back - Tell me to delete 7 if that's what you think!

I'm considering upgrading to a Premium or VIP account, but that will have to wait until my next paycheck!

Delete http://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pi … 4#28053764
and  http://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pi … 3#28053773

* compared to the rest of the images in your port, these two look like boring snapshots.

Choose one or the other:

Instead of delete photos here are the very very best in my opinion

Let me start by saying I don't hate anything, but if you want to slim down to be cost effective (I understand), my advice would be only one shot an outfit, that way you'll have room for the new stuff.

I would cut this one because the other in this set has more action and power.

I would cut this because I like the hand placement more in the other one.

I like both of these a lot, but the other I like just a tad more, so I would cut this one.

This isnt a horrible image but there is just something funky about your right eye. looks like there was a shadow or maybe something that was touched up in post. i cant put my finger on it but it bothers me. plus the lighting is funky and your hand looks black:

I don't look for some overall artistic impression of a portfolio. I look for whether I think the model can do the shot that I want. Here are the shots that I think show what you can do.

http://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/110511/21/4dcb5bb393cc5_m.jpg

This one shows your face, your basic hair style, and your gorgeous eye color. I'd always keep this one or a similar one.

http://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/120420/13/4f91c08d50a97_m.jpg

This one shows a different style from much of the rest of your portfolio. If I want someone to do that style and you don't have that picture, I'm not sure about you.

http://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/120420/13/4f91c0b5659ca_m.jpg

This one shows your figure, your skin color, and is flattering. I'd keep this one or a similar shot.

http://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/120320/23/4f696edd234f6_m.jpg

This one shows a bit of athleticism and again shows your general body shape.

http://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/120402/22/4f7a899f791f6_m.jpg

http://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/120402/22/4f7a89bc5cf6e_m.jpg

These two show different expressions, your face, and your general shape.

The ones with the black latex over your skin are amusing, maybe interesting to some people, but they don't tell me much about you. You could lose them without hurting yourself.

The cleaver shot doesn't tell me anything that I can't learn from other pictures. I'm sure that picture will be popular with those who like a certain kind of photographic art, but the shot doesn't tell me much about you. If you need to make a space, you could lose that one.

Neither of the two smoking shots tells me anything that I can't see from other shots. You could lose them when you needed to make space.

I think you could lose the picture where you are wearing the hat, but that picture does show how a hat changes your face. You might want to keep that one if you can.

The one on the ladder could be kept or deleted. If you have something else that you need space to add, you might want to delete this one.

I agree with Craig March Photography completely about my two least favourite, but that's just in relation to the others and my opinion rather than saying they are bad.  I think they are all excellent and you may as well keep them all time you have other stuff you want to take their place, if you do want to get rid on any, I would say get rid of the last two.
