Not a catchy port. The port needs some serious work. Build a port on TFCD and exploit the potential you have.

Are you figuring in median income and median home price in your calculations?

I couldn't even begin to wonder what a "fair" rate would be... when even VOGUE only pays it's editorial photographers $200 a shoot.

But what do you think.

I dont know if that is a true statement about vogue. I KNOW that many other magazines who pay 10 times more.

I like your concepts. Very thought provoking. You try to integrate a story in your pictures. Your B&W are awesome. I am not sure about your post production. I tried to read this picture if it was intended (https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/31902553). But it simply shows your boots which needs to be cropped. Same problem at the top left. I would discard this picture.

Strictly speaking on beauty and portraits, you are arguably one of the very best. Your execution is perfect. And you say you are mostly self taught - wow! Please count me in your growing list of fans. You are an inspiration.

Ms. Brock:
Please consider this as a critical appreciation. Your port is a classic example of poor marketing. Your port does not do your beauty justice, a no nudity clause, your vital statistics say you have a 32-0-0 figure and your expressions suck. But when I click on the links you provide - there are some awesome pictures where you breathtaking.
You need to re-create your port on probably TFCD shoots. You have the potential for being a good face as well as ramp model.

Nice concepts. You may wanna look at your shadows and lighting. You outdoor pictures would have been even more effective if you used the lights and reflectors strategically.

Oh, I should be clarifying that in the original post - I baseline the income/price on the Washington DC area market. Let me know if you still care for my suggestions.
