No experience and would love to hear some critique and comments... thanks in adv

To put it plainly, you must have a professional looking port to get paid work. I know you are new, so I would try to find some good photographers that are willing to trade with you and build your port. Then, maybe, you can get some paid work.

No, I would not hire you. You need to first find some photographers willing to trade and improve the quality of your port. Also, the lip ring is something I just don't want to have to deal with. It is fine to be different, but it won't help you get jobs.

You have passion, emotion, great expressions. You show in your port that you can do commercial work. Very nice look and shape. I would hire you!

You have a nice figure. A nice look. You seem to lose well. But I don't see any face expressions except one. So I feel if I hired you I would be limited to the one expression. For that reason, I would not hire you.

You are very new. At this point you need experience before you can expect to get paid. You need more shoots, and they need to be professional. Find some photographers that will trade and see what you can get. It wouldn't hurt to try and get a mua and a hair stylist for them as well.

Your hair is different in just about every shot. So I know you can do about any look you want to. Nice poses. Great figure. Great look. So yes, I would hire you.

I would need to see more versatility first. Your port is filled with lots of shots from same shoots. Also, a more professionally filled port. Love the last one on e first row. You need more that are that quality. So for now, no.

So, I will have to say it depends. First of all let me say that you are very beautiful. Great look. Great figure. Great expressions. You would be perfect for a lot of shoots. The only thing is, is that I am not willing to take the time to photoshop out the tattoos. So if we are shooting something where they will be seen, I would not hire you. If the shoot was something where they would be covered, hen yes, I would shoot you.

Agree on the comment and the tats. Just a personal thing if they were covered you would be a shoe in.

Actually, I am going to have to say that you are wrong.  I do love your look.  I think you have a very professional look.  And a great figure to go with it.  You are very expressive.  I would hire you in a second.

Sorry, I would not.  Simply put, you are too heavy.  I see you are losing.  Keep it up and I could reconsider.

You don't have much in your port. Most images are from the same shoot. And you don't have much for professional shots. But, I love the way you look, and I think I would make an exception here. I would hire you, even if I didn't feel your port was up to par.

Aw, thank you!
It's nice when photographers look past your photographs and at your actual potential.

This is easy.  Of course I would hire you.  Your port looks great.  Very professional.  You have a great look and body.  You can work for me anytime!  Come on out to Utah!

I would hire you.  You have a very nice look.  A good variety in your port.  And a professional look.  I think you are ready to get paid.

Not at this time.  A lot of your images are dark.  Or bad lighting.  Poses still need some work.  You have some nice expressions which I like.  But at this point I think you need to do some more tfp and build up your port.  Your images need to really show you off. And if there is a lighting, or focus, or composition problem, then that is what the viewer thinks of.  So if you eliminate all these problems by working with some good photographers, I think you would be very marketable.

You already know I would love to work with you.  But as far as being paid, I don't think you are ready.  You first need some professional work in your port.  You have a great look, and I can see that from the images you have provided.  However, your port shows your lack of experience.  But what the heck, I think I would hire you anyway!

I think you need a little more experience first.  Your port is just kind of average.  A couple of nice shots, but nothing over the top that screams at me to hire you.  Most of your expressions are small.  So at this time, no.

I don't see much variety, but what you have is nice. I like to see more in expressions. I only see one. So it makes me wonder if I could get more out of you. I think I probably could. And on a scale of 1-10 I would rate your figure 11. So heck ya, I would hire you. You have a great look!
