Your first and last pics in your port I really like.  the other three look more like snapshots.  So I would hesitate to hire you.  When I look at your port I see a lack of experience.  I would trade for sure, but not pay.

No.  My first impression was a for sure yes.  You have the look.  You are very fit, and would be great for what I do.  But the tattoos are a problem.  And shooting fitness, they would not be covered.

Your critiques are informative, realistic & professional. As a relatively unexperienced model willing to collaborate in TF shoots to expand my portfolio, I would be very interested in hearing your opinion of anything I should perhaps add, delete & work on in the future!

Your first three images are from the same shoot. I would cut them down to just one. You could use a good head shot. The one you have has light streaks that make it hard to consent rate on you. I like to see a good clean head shot that shows me exactly what you look like. You have some nice body shots. The tattoo, however, would keep me from hiring you.

Your expressions all look sort of sad to me. This would keep me from hiring you. I need to see a good variety of emotion filled expressions so I know you can perform how I want you to.

Again, no, because of the tattoo.  Also, a lack of emotion felt from your expressions.

You are an easy yes!  You have a professional look.  Great images in your port, and I love the red hair.  I would hire you in a second!

Oh no need to be sorry! Lol I love them. Frankly if that was blatant enough to stop you there... Che sera, but at least pigment based decisions don't offer much but hang on to that type cast and milk it! Lol in the event I'm not out playing creative games! Cheers!

If I've already asked, sorry, but I can't recall, so that being said.  Would you?

Not at this point.  I just don't see the spark I am looking for.  Also, I shoot mainly fitness, and that is an area I could use you.  However, if I had a need for your look, I would definitely consider you.

You have a nice look. But I only see one expression in all your shots. And I don't feel the emotion in them. So I would not hire you until I see more.

Most of your images look like snapshots. I want to see professional work before I pay. So I would not hire you at this point. I would need your port to jump out at me.

I think I would hire you for a fitness shoot. You have a good shape for it. We would have to work a little to get the right expressions, but I am convinced you could do it.

Great body. Great look. That will do it for me. But I would like to see a little more emotion from the expressions. But I would hire you.
