The fact that you are still going (and I am on a sabbatical of sorts) makes me curious about what you find reasonable compared to your local markets.

Thanks for visiting and your comments! You guys keep me going smile

wow! thank you so much!  I have been charging $65-$75 for beauty etc when I actually have someone who is willing to pay. I have not done any of the fantasy work for pay yet. Most everyone has just wanted to do TF shoots...You seriously made my day!

WHat I do here is strictly suggestions based on my opinion - no body can be a judge, least of all myself! And believe me everybody has potentials to do well as everybody is  unique.

I am suggesting the obvious - build your port on TFCD and stick to your genre.

I like your looks - a little bottom heavy - but hey it worked for J Lo.

I would suggest you make a stronger port on TFCD - you have great potentials.

Yes, please consider my comments no more than a game - as the comments are my sole opinion only.

I love your looks and your expressions are diverse - awesome. You also look good naked - but I am totally wowed by this pic; https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/28498749

You are indeed in the right field and following a passion and excelling at it too. Awesome port, lighting and shadows. Personally this picture needs to be deleted from your port as it creates doubt in one's mind about your capabilities: https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/32930637

Carleen:
With your training and education, expectations are very high. But port comes of as average, if that!

I would suggest you build a killer port by working on TFCD basis - I am sure you can do a lot better. You savvy?

Risen:
You are way above my league - I admire the way you handle your subject and elicit the expressions, something I am yet to master. If you ever need someone to carry your strobes or someone to make your coffee - let me know! I am very inspired by this one (I shall shamelessly try to emulate this one some day)" https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/34497764
If I am allowed to say this - you may want to reevaluate your post production editing on the subjects, some looked plastic to me.

Thank you very much. It is indeed a passion.

Based on your quality, experience, everything else you bring to the table (I mean to the studio) irrespective of the theme.

Again, I am not very talented - but I am blatantly frank and honest! But please remember photography is subjective and opinions differ as does the definition of beauty!

And above 21 years old please. All others get ignored.

Yes please. Thank you smile
