You're getting stronger, as you should.

Your worst (unflattering for the model):


Best (though all of your other work is good):

OK give me best worst

I have critiqued you before.

Best:


I still think this is truly awful, for the same reasons as before:

I am still new to shooting models (1yr), how am I doing?

You're doing fine.

I don't like this - it's unflattering for the model's face, the pose and expression look awkward, and the cropping (foot cropped off) is weird:

Hm I might have 2 specific things if it's alright?

Which one (or two) of those I should add, so in other words the strongest?

And also the  photos apart from the first 3 are from 1.5/2 years ago. I didn't model for a while and started again only recently, do you think I should keep them for reference or only a few or get rid of them all and start anew? Not sure if it's good to have photos from so relatively long ago when I was literally starting out..  And my faces was younger hehe Thaaanks, hope it's not too much!

You could add the first one.

You could keep the old ones for now and gradually replace them with better new work, that's what I'd do.

Your work is tasteful, some of it indeed lovely, but what you could improve on is your image selection. In most of your collages I would only have chosen one picture each.

These are the two weakest images in your port imo, they drag it down:





I'd probably work with you, too, depending on the concept.

Okay what about me

"I don't like to pretend to be someone I am not in-front of a camera" - that's fine if you're planning on being a hobbyist working with other hobbyists only.

"High Fashion- I have always been that girl who watched America's Next Top Model, so I know what it takes to be a high fashion model." - I'd take that out of your bio. The show is an industry joke and as any seasoned real model will tell you for every useful piece of info you get - and they are there - you get one piece of BS.

The only image in your port I like is your avatar, I'd gradually replace the rest with better work.

Practice more, work with better photographers, learn better expressions, take care of your hair, improve your make-up technique.

Would love to hear from you.

You're a pretty girl and could potentially do well as an art model. If you enjoy posing for painters or sculptors, there is steady paid work to be had there.

These images are technically sound and you look very pretty here but the pose gives you a double chin, you need to watch out for that:

Can you please tell me what you think I am missing what you think is best and, what you think is the worst/should be deleted?
Thank you!

What you miss is professional images. A good full body shot of you standing, a good headshot.

For now this is your best picture:


I'd gradually replace the rest with pictures from better photographers.

For example this doesn't make sense at all, it's a snapshot that only shows your nose:

Timothy Bell wrote:

You could improve on lighting, editing and composition.

The editing here is overkill, the model looks like a plastic doll:


Snapshot, bad lighting (flash?):


Bad lighting (flash?), expression and make-up are unflattering for the model:

please critique-I value your comments.

Relax your mouth and eyes!! I had no idea there were models who literally only had one expression, but you do.

Do you really need to tan? It doesn't suit you imo and doesn't seem to do your skin good.

There is no reason to have the same image in your port twice, even if one is in black and white.

Apart from that the technical quality of your port is pretty good.

Awesome work. Anything specific you'd like to know?

Crediting models as "X (real name) aka Y (stage name)" is unbelievably bad form - we have stage names for a reason, you know? (We have day jobs and many of us would like to be able to get jobs in the future. Also some of us have trouble with potential stalkers.) That alone discourages me from working with anyone.

Apart from that, I don't feel that I can say much about your work.

You are. I'll just tell you what I don't like.

I don't like the editing here, also it's not very flattering for your face:


This doesn't do anything for you, also not very flattering for your face:


Your port needs a better full body shot of you standing.

I'm very new to modelling and none of the photos on my portfolio were shot by professionals but I'm interested in hearing what you have to say about them nonetheless. Like you I have large, natural breasts and I'm curious for your opinion on the opportunities and difficulties they present in the industry. And I would love any other advice.

Moving on to my portfolio, do you find any of the photos to be useless and what do you think it's missing (beyond fetish work which I'm aware of and working on). I'm sure that there's a lot missing but what is a priority? What, in your opinion, are my strengths and  weaknesses? Are there any photos that you really like and why? Finally, what do you think I could do as far as modelling goes (or is it too early to say)?

Having very large breasts is like any other extreme physical attribute, it will make you desirable for one kind of work and undesirable for another.
Generally being plus sized you have to work a lot harder, be better, you have to have an edge of some kind on all the gorgeous straight sized girls you're competing with. You have to be a good poser, take excellent care of yourself (skin, hair, nails), be able to do your own make-up and styling, have your own wardrobe and conduct yourself professionally in everything you do in order to be somewhat competitive.
If you want to model clothed at all (and not shoot art nudes only) you will have to build your own wardrobe. Having your own wardrobe is absolutely necessary because stylists and photographers typically won't have or be able to pull anything that will fit you.
Since your body type is most suited to fetish and possibly glamour, I suggest (waist) corsets, high heels, lingerie, stockings, and a few basic latex pieces.

Priority - get a good headshot and a good full body-shot of you standing.

Your profile and the way you write make you sound mature and professional, which is great (!). As for posing, I think you have the potential to be quite graceful, you just don't have the experience.

It doesn't make any sense, also that isn't modeling, it looks like you're falling down drunk. Up the nose shots are rarely flattering in any case.

It looks like your hand is growing out of your head. The image seems to be out of focus, the make-up is rather bad, the expression vacant, and overall it's unflattering for you and of horrible quality:


For now, I would only keep 1, 2, 5, 6, 8, 9 and 11, and replace all of them with better work by better photographers asap. Once you have more shoots under your belt, there really is no need to include more than one image per look in your port.

What you could do - fetish, art nudes, and live art modeling for painters/sculptors. You could possibly pick up some glamour work here and there, but glamour is very competitive, and the look you have to have for it, is, well, glamourous - small waist (corsets are your friend), dreamy hair, perfect nails, perfect glamourous make-up etc.

Cute look. Most of your work is quite neat.

These don't do much for you, I'd delete them:

Looking forward to your critiques.

All very neat images, but your port needs a good headshot. Maybe get a serious one and a more commercial (smiling) one?
