Haii ! I have a few photos from the same set that make up the first two rows of my port and I need your help deciding which two from the set to keep. Thanks! -Victoria Gevorkov Oct 08 12 01:21 am Link do you think you're likely to find paying work in that genre? Oct 08 12 01:38 am Link This set was paid work for a salon. So, we'll see.. If anything its diverse. Oct 08 12 01:54 am Link Victoria Gevorkov wrote: well, congrats on the job! Oct 08 12 02:27 am Link problem is I am not exactly sure which category I fall under.... considering I am not industry height and all especially.  So I just take work as it comes.Oct 08 12 04:24 am Link Phew - I'd keep number 8 only. If I may say, there seems like a lot of effort gone in to the wardrobe and hair in some of those shots for pretty awful photos. That's not your fault, but it's a shame though.

You could keep about 6 which show you are a professional model and are worth paying for a job. Your portfolio is your ticket to paying jobs, its not a random photo bucket. You want at least a good clear headshot which shows your eyes and other facial features. You want a good upper body shot which shows your shoulders and all. Some full length shots front, side and back which show off your shape and proportions, and a few shots which show you can pose and sell product. You do have a few good pics in there, but they are getting lost with the crap Oct 08 12 04:40 am Link As a llama you have a great look, just most of the photos are letting you down  For me this is your strongest image You need photos that are of higher quality Wish you well! Oct 08 12 05:31 am Link Thank you for your help guys. Im willing to delete anything I need so if you could give me any advice which is crap and which is not thatd be perfect.

Oct 14 12 02:00 am Link Victoria, Unfortunately, that new set is really weak. Washed-out. But if you feel you must keep one, I'd suggest:  or  By far, your strongest image (IMO) is:  although the skin is overprocessed, the image is simply beautiful. Your expression and eye-contact are engaging to the point of knockout. Another strong one is:  but I've got mixed feelings about the faux print damage (aging & scratches).I don't buy that the image is all scratched up except for the face. I'd probably prefer the simplicity of the original image without the fake marks, stains and scratches. And I'm even taken with:  The sharpness of the hair, the intensity of the eyes, and the overall dynamic, all grab me. Please, please, PLEASE, get rid of: It's an unflattering mess.

Oct 14 12 05:33 am Link Of the new stuff......'eh, has a few problems. This could be the strongest one...key word, could. Needs some tweaking IMHO.  This is a disaster....does you no favors at all. Oct 14 12 07:43 am Link Like this but wish it weren't slightly out of focus/soft: And ditto this could have been really strong if the lighting weren't terrible: This looks like a snapshot:  And ditto lose this (makes you look fat): Oct 14 12 08:36 am Link Lee_Photography wrote: No. Lee_Photography wrote: Still no.

Arguing with people in a critique thread because they disagree with you serves no real function. Oct 14 12 10:24 am Link This has got to go  IMO, these should be removed also:   ... the last one I get is a "real life" picture, but the seatbelt and car thing is not doing anything for you. Taking a clean shot in front of a white wall would do better. Oct 14 12 03:14 pm Link The new set's not that great. If you had to keep one, then the last one on the first row. I would actually consider of shooting you based on that pic. It's the only pic in your port , in my opinion, that actually gives a potential client or photog a good and flattering look at your face without the over-processing in the others. Good luck to you.

Oct 14 12 09:01 pm Link Thank you ALL so much for taking the time out to respond with critiques ^_^ --Victoria Gevorkov Oct 25 12 06:09 pm Link can't help as they are all really bad Oct 25 12 06:31 pm Link |
