Excellent conceptualization and post production work. But not enough to show a variety! You still need to build your port. Maybe $30/hr now!

You are a good hobbyist and you get by terms of enjoyment - so why bother about money? TFCD is a good thing - lets continue to create art on TFCD basis. I loved your new picture of MJ.

Yes 52 and counting!
Your style is unique and comic/satire. Every picture tells us a story/an anecdote or a joke. I am sure you make good money by selling your pictures. But if I were to hire you - I think I will pay you $125/hr.

Sensual: you have some very nice portraits. This one is my favorite - https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/30293830

But how about exploring some genres like landscapes, outdoors, natural lights etc.?

Muchos Gracias, Jefe.

Figured in this economy, why not? I've had a handful of models approach me for shoots, though most are under legal age and would NOT (by any means) fit into my port, at least I could put a number for a current market value.

MJ was my first shoot this year and first in over 3 months of non-shooting. Felt good to dust-off, get back into the game, and see some positive results.

Thank you for your kind words.

I'm happy to report that I have never sold a Click Hamilton photo, nor have I ever charged anyone for the immense pleasure I derive from photography. From the beginning, it was my calculated decision to remove money and business as elements of this personal endeavor. I don't want to distract from the other objectives that have higher value to me.

You capture moods well. I am not sure about your lighting and exposure in some of the pictures though.
I would suggest a few more TFCDs before we move to greener pastures.

You need some variety in your port. No doubt, your headshots are very nice - actually this pic in somebody else's port is awesome: https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/p … 8#24235478
