How am I doing? Any thoughts on this picture? Any input will be much appreciated! Xx Stella 18+ https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/31256482 Jan 11 13 01:08 pm Link Not too shabby. Maybe work on facial expressions a bit. In this one, it would seem that you are half way between "Happy" and "sexy". But neither fully happy to be there, nor fully seductive. Love the styling, and the shot's not bad. I'd say, you're doing good! Jan 11 13 01:12 pm Link Beautiful body. Try to get your hands into the frame next time, but photographer should know never to cut hands off at the wrist. Your eyes are unfocused and unemotional. Should be one or the other, otherwise too deer-in-the-headlights looking. Jan 11 13 01:12 pm Link Toto Photo wrote: Thanks a lot! I appreciate the input. I totally see what you mean about the hand. There are bigger crops, maybe I could ask him for one! Jan 11 13 01:15 pm Link Because it takes away from the emotion you may be attempting to portray, I'm not fond of the cropping of this particular image. Jan 11 13 01:17 pm Link I am obviously not shy about tight crops but this one doesn't work for me. Jan 11 13 01:18 pm Link I agree with the above comments, but I would also like to see your left eye as well. Jan 11 13 01:24 pm Link You did fine, here. I don't know what that photographer was doing with the cropping. Jan 11 13 01:32 pm Link It's funny, because I cropped the picture myself.against the photographers warning, haha! It feels really artistic to me Jan 11 13 01:34 pm Link I'm not sure that any model is going to be portrayed at her best via that angle. I look forward to seeing more images that are much more flattering to you. You're lovely, the idea is nice, the photo isn't. Jan 11 13 01:35 pm Link Stella Dorr wrote: You're welcome. Yes, if there is a larger crop there is enough good about the session to want it in your port. But if you can get some emotion into your eyes, it'll go from good to great! Jan 11 13 01:36 pm Link I like everything EXCEPT the part about livin' in Colorado . . . how the heck kin I shoot ya from way out there . . . SOS Jan 11 13 01:39 pm Link As a standalone image it sucks, crop is way too tight. Saving grace is tits and fur. Jan 11 13 01:44 pm Link Hopefully you'll get much better images very soon and it won't remain in your port for long. Awful crop and the perspective isn't flattering either. Sorry Jan 11 13 01:59 pm Link I like it. I'd like to see more light on your face, making it the focal point and let the breast be a secondary element in the image Jan 11 13 02:07 pm Link Stella Dorr wrote: I get what you were going for, but just remember you're telling a story each time. What subtleties in the foreground and background accentuate what your subject is saying, and what does your expression convey with it all?

Jan 13 13 07:41 am Link Not sure which one they are talking about but I love some of the ideas - especially the implied shots. Great start to a portfolio, remember with experience you can only get better but you've started well. Jan 13 13 07:53 am Link Stella Dorr wrote: i'm sure the photographer will be suitably impressed. Jan 13 13 09:28 am Link I don't mind the crop so much but the lighting doesn't give your face any life. Jan 13 13 10:13 am Link I quite like the crop and angle from an artistic point of view when you see the big image, from the small one it looks weird the way it cuts through your face though. It doesn't really show you off as a model in my opinion.

(lol) Jan 14 13 02:26 pm Link Terrible crop and your face looks unattractive . I looked at some of your other photos and you are not unattractive but that angle is not flattering for your face. Keep practicing facial expression and posing and best of luck! Jan 14 13 02:35 pm Link |
