Have a look

I would say 50/50.

Your main interest, according to your profile, is commercial modelling, and you are not available for nudes, and your port is not against that, so in that sense is ok.

But in my opinion, in your port there is also the feeling that you like to do lifestyle images, I think this is present in your port, but not im your profile.

I think you have qualities that go beyond commercial modelling.

Yes, I guess it matches, although I found your port a bit dissapointing.

Not that I don't like it - I particularly love the shots with the girl in white - but your profile made me have huge expectations, and after seeing your port I would have expected more variety.......maybe in the future you'll include it.

But yes, what you see in your port is what you say you want to do.

That makes sense. I'm just getting going

Sure, go ahead!

My first impression when watching your port was a bit surprising, since I didn't expect such a large number of nude shots......I was expecting much more fashion shots.

I then went to reread your profile and noticed I was wrong - I probably read too quickly the first time - and thought that it was likely that your port matched your profile.

The problem is that most of your nude shots, in my opinion, don't match the three ones that you show in your profile, maybe because these are your latest works.

This is worth asking

Absolutely yes!

You are very clear and detailed in your port about what you do, and what you expect from your models, and your port matches to that without doubt, no surprises there.

I think I would value your opinion...  What ya think?

Thank you very much, Holly.

I would not say that they don't much, since you say that you are open to many ideas, and your port show many different styles, although the stress is on glamour shots.

But your port surprised me, because after such a short profile there is a huge port. You are able to deal with lots of different concepts, as the detail shot of your eyes for instance prove.

You are a very complete model, congrats!

Meghan Devlin wrote:
A question that merits a response!

Yes, it matches.

After reading your profile, my thoughts were "Meghan is not just a model, she is a complete artist, so in her port I am expecting emotions, acting, expressions that transmit something, attitude, knowhow about posing".

And what I found in your port is all that, besides a powerful eyesight and a beautiful face, but I already knew this from your avatar!

Yes and not.

Seeing your port after reading your profile, you can see that you don't say anything that it is not present in your port, but the surprise comes for the fact that there is in your port much more than you don't say in your profile.

Ok, in your profile is clear that you are an experienced artist - you are not only a model - but once you see your shots, your capacity to create, to act, to transmit is greater than what you could expect.

Thank you so much!!

Yes, I am still going, thanks for participating, Alicia.

No surprises in your port after reading your profile, even less considering that your avatar image already prepare the viewer to an amazing number of beautiful shots.

The only thing I found strange is that although you put the stress on fashion and beauty shots, you also say in your profile that you feel comfortable with artistic nudes, and then there are no nudes in your port.

However, if I may dare to give you my opinion, you don't need nudes, they are not going to add anything to your port or your career as a model. You are astonishing beautiful, and all your fashion and beauty images are absolutely delightful, so I would not move away from that direction.

Thank you for your thoughts, and I appreciate the kind words. c:

About nude work;
This is actually the second time over the last few days I've been told it was odd that my profile says I'm open to nudes but there are none in my portfolio, so I definitely see what you mean.
I actually used to do a fair bit of nudes, but when I got back on modelmayhem recently over the last month or so, I completely revamped my portfolio and it just happened that my weaker images happened to be my old nudes. Just kind of a weird coinsidence I guess, but I still enjoy art nudes and "fashion nudes" (I know that's a bit of an oxymoron, but I mean images that show nudity, but are still fashion or beauty work at heart, such as something like 18+ this, this, this, or this. /18+) Also, as much I prefer and love shooting fashion and beauty, at 5'6", it's usually the fashion nude and art nude projects that pay the bills, however I'm totally okay with that since nude work is something I enjoy as well. c:
(I'm hoping to add some new nude images to my portfolio over the next few weeks, and I'm thinking of uploading a few of my better old ones until I have some fresh new work so that it doesn't seem as odd.)

Does mine?

Yes, it does.

And although I was not surprised by the kind of shots I found in your port, since they reflect what you say in your profile, I was nicely surprised by how good are your images. I love sll those abandoned places shots, you made a great work with the models interpretating every scene.

PigeonFoo wrote:
I'm curious to find out if you think my port matches my profile.

Yes, I think it does.

Most of the images in your port are of the kind of shots I would expect after reading your profile, except for a headshot where you look calm and specially beautiful, in my opinion.

Btw, I like you much more when you are blonde haired and with not much makeup.

Im always open for critique and suggestion! Thanks

I can't really say that they don't match, but yor port surprised me a bit, mainly because is more impressive than what I was expecting, but also because there some shots that I was not expecting, like the ones in abandoned places, that I like very much btw.

As for suggestions, I would change your avatar....it is a beautiful image but you have others where your beauty and excellent qualities are much more evident.

I'm quite curious to hear what you think.

Edit: Didn't realize I was posting directly after Shannyn. Haha

I must say that I didn't have a clear idea of what to expect, but once I saw your port I think it does not match your profile.

You have almost all your shots taken outdoors, while you say that you are expert at indoor works and even low light conditions. But I also have to say that I love your tasteful shots, the style of your llamas and the kind of shots you have in your port much more than the images I could expect after reading your profile.

L Raye wrote:

Yes, it does.

Your profile is clear about the kind of images in your port. However I thought there would me more studio shots, and also the image if the model wiyh a cello is a strange addition to the rest, although a beautiful one indeed.

Johanna Jonsson wrote:

I guess I could answer yes.

Your profile is not very detailed, and it's not easy to know anything about you, but you say that you are open to all kind of shoots, and then your port cover many different styles, so I think that there are not surprises there.

You have a perfect figure btw.

About nude work............

Thanks for the explanation, Alicia.

I do understand what you mean, and seeing your nude examples I also understand the concept of "fashion nudes"......I love them and think you can do a great job there.

But don't think it sounds odd that you don't have nudes currently, I think it has been only a coincidence that you got that comment twice lately.

Yes, I am still going, thanks for participating.

You have a wonderful port, and it matches concerning the use of natural light that you expresses as preference - maybe also the petit models, but that is not easy to judge - but I was not exprcting so many lingery and implied shots....you don't say anything in your profile.

Love those implieds, are really well executed.

You know, you're right. I wrote most of that when I was principally a theater and dance photographer. At that time, being able to shoot in low-light was much more important. I definitely have some editing to do. Thank you for your insight.

LizaK wrote:

Yes, I think that your port has an atmosphere that matches perfectly the kind of model and personality that one can deduce from your profile.

I feel at home seeing your port, since you are a model that fits perfectly my style, I would love to have a photoshoot with you. Oh yes, and maybe too because I like so much The Netherlands. 

Groetjes!

WestCoast Photography wrote:
Love to know.

I think they don't match.

Your profile is not detailed, so the only thing one can expect is about what you say you want to do: portraits and glamour photo. Your port is fine but there is not glamour and I guess portraits you mean headshots, and there are not either.

Curious to hear your thoughts..

I am not sure if I got the wrong impression reading your port, but I was expecting much more variety, and what I found in your port is that almost all images are of the kind you can find in men's magazines.

Maybe is only my impression, but I think that your port does not match your profile.

Lou DiGesare wrote:
I'm wondering????

Yes, I think they match.

Your large port detects a long experience as a photographer, snd the kind of images are what you say you are currently dedicated to, glamour and fine arts, so no surprises there.

BTHPhoto wrote:

Absolutely yes!

Your profile is quite clear about what you do, what you want to do and what your modrls should be like, and your port is exactly that.

Matilda wrote:

Yes, I think it matches.

In your port you have nudes and fashion shots, and that is precisely what I would expect after reading your profile. Besides, many of the shots reveal, in my opinion, those traits I think I can deduce from your profile.
