critique from a fashion director's point of view. what's working & what's not about your style/port.

i know my portfolio is not fashion driven per-se. However an objective and constructive critique would be a wonderful gesture,
Thank you.

hey Rik, enjoyed your port - details are fantastic , as is the mystery behind your models. one thing though, it appears you are always standing 6-10 feet in front of your model , directly infront. ever thought of chaging up your angle?

great model selection, you get it that pretty does not equal fashion. thank goodness. watch the retouching.

Personally I don't think it's a weak shot, which is why I have it.

But thank you for your opinion

exciting. great beauty work. editorially, there is a story in your beauty...well done.

I would stick with what you know  - there will be demand for your work.

welcome. I dont't think its a weak shot either. Its just the "weakest" of your portfolio, which is a rather strong one.

Sounds Good

oh , there you are :

I picked that photo because it is you - be careful about resting on styling. I want to see more model from you.

My compliments to your work.

good start. watch your cropping/composition. this one should be replaced. I know why its in your book, but chose another studio shot.


otherwise, the lifestyle in you is strong, and thats a good thing. you show off both clothes and model well. a huge accomplishment and not easy to do.

that's a different - and maybe valuable take -  so why not?

if i were a female model, I'd pay you to shoot me.

however, from a fashion perspective , this one really works for me:



the others in your portfolio are great looking girls but I don't see too much more in them. actually there is another one of a girl in yellow pumps sitting on zebra, that I would publish.

you're the only one so far that I've looked more than once at your port. I want to like you. the thing is you seem to have technique down, just a lot of pretty girls..would you consider shooting men or more than one model? I think you would nail it.

just think of your viewer, would they want to be that girl or just be with that girl?

from a fd perspective, I should want to be in the shoes of your subject. cheers .

that's a fresh perspective! What do you have to say?

lips lips lips. paige I would like to shoot you. move your tearsheets down. they should not be top row.

you've got a star quality. you inspire. I'd like to see you work with a really great gay photographer in new york.

I dont care to get into a debate about why gay photographers can shoot you better - they just can.

bottom line, you can sell any product and your audience will always want to know more about you - what product you use in your hair, who's dress you're wearing, what shoes you're wearing, etc. this is a model.

fantastic look.

hey jeneva, I think you'd be in demand for a lot of mm photographers.

I'd like to strip away the styling /hair / makeup and just see you.


bottom line, from a fd perspective I cant' sell you.

Thanks for your time!

exactly. you just said what most people sometimes never learn or want to learn.

would need to see more of you .

your avatar is a good choice right now. right now you should try and inspire your photographer to shoot you - not the scenery. this is so hard. once you do that, put that image in your port.

Wow. I was not expecting that.

Thank you very much for the kind words, and if I'm ever in Toronto or you are in New York, let's make that shoot happen

Yes that does seem apparent I will add some other angles to my portfolio.
Do you have any particulars regarding my retouching... It's an ever evolving process
