If there is 'stuff' in the image that gets more attention than the model, it's not a good 'model' image. For example, in the shot of you with the car... folks are going to be looking at the car's wheel more than you. Besides, the lighting is terrible for you (looks like bright sunlight in your face), but okay for the wheel. Obviously, the wheel is what the photographer wanted to show.

SOS Oct 12 12 09:08 am Link You have to define your goals, then figure what it will take to achieve your goals The way I look at a models portfolio is the photographs are advertisement saying hire me, hire me, see me I’m so beautiful. So your job is to find out what makes a great photograph and what you have to do to create one. One way is to buy a photographers book on model posing, this will help you figure out some poses, plus give you some inside on photography technique Models pose are the fingers long or hidden behind the arms? Are the eyes bright and in sharp focus? Watch out for distracting wrinkled backgrounds Models legs will look their longest when extended Eyes dark Extend you fingers Busy pillow, a solid dark color would be less distracting Wish you great success!

I recommend a nice headshot that is on a simple, uncluttered background and a full body with you in some sort of form-fitting clothing, like skinny jeans and a tank -- again, on a simple backdrop.
