This bit needs clean up: Published Photographer that loves story-telling and creating images that glimpse other worlds.

I'm always happy to hear from anybody wanting to do something unique or imaginative in any genre.

That's all very basic, and non specific when you chop through the verbose. The rest of your profile is well played. Basic deets in place, sense of humor shown without any bogging down of the point, no big distracting images

After walking LA fashion week, I'm addicted and am looking to expand my portfolio and gain experience. Open to all genres, from fashion to fitness to artistic nudes. I am not seeking any erotic work. I take my work seriously, and am open to constructive criticism...so if you have any ideas/pointers or want to shoot, let me know. (and yes, I really AM 6'6" )

Dawn-Marie94 wrote: me please Basically good, I'd just switch the order up a bit like this: Hi,I'm Dawna-Marie, I stay in shape, and I do not have any body piercings or tattoos. I am outgoing and friendly, and get along with almost everyone. I am dependable, and will always show up on time. I am also respectful, and of course, I expect the same in return. I am available for glamour, fashion, lifestyle, editorial, bikini, and most lingerie. I will consider topless implied on a case-by-case basis, noting that the concept must provide a valuable contribution to the focus of my portfolio. I will consider a TF shoot when it appears the content and quality will benefit both of our portfolios. Otherwise, please contact me for my rates and details, which will also include transportation costs. I AM NOT A FRIEND COLLECTOR. PLEASE DO NOT accept or send a friend request if you cannot see yourself entering into a creative partnership. ~insert polaroid of current hair~ ~Dawn-Marie~

Who doesn't want to have a fun day on set? It's so nonspecific it means very little. Hmmm... thanks for the input. I've gone back and tightened up the intro. Appreciate the feedback!

Cynthia Serrano wrote: haha curious TOO many images between your profile and your credits. You actually have a good bit of relevant experience and a sizable reference list that's getting buried under contest badges and the like. What genres are you looking to shoot when active? That should be closer to the top. What do you consider viable TF? If your hair color/style changes often, why not post a quick snap of your current look?

Modstudios wrote: Hit me Giant images at the top. Ugh. Travel dates buried at the bottom. Additionally the text is wordy but tells me little.....I still don't know what genres your primarily work in, what your rates are, or what other forms of compensation you accept. Everyone's concept of "art" is different......so that isn't helpful in and of itself

I haven't updated my text in quite sometime... It's 2013? Yes, it's been QUITE some time now. Haha As I read through bios I am quite skeptical unless images or links to particular events are also included. I don't believe everything that I read anymore... the pics and links aren't sure-tell either, just shows a consistency to me. Haha... love this thread though, just wanted to be apart of it. Thanks blessings
