Weenie hut it is.

Good: You have a really flawless bone structure, and you are very elegant. Most of your shots are on the same high level to me.

These two are my favorite:

Because they show you very intense and I see a lot of personality in them, especially the second. You'd make a great actress honestly.

Bad:

Good figure, but it doesn't show me anything about you as a model, and it just seems like a random picture juxtaposed with all of your very emotional shots.

Thank you, very interesting critique!

HI!

Hit me hard.

Alright, you know your stuff, and its obvious. But you wanted salty.

1. NEVER will I EVER catch you with another model on a toilet in a sexy shot. She was so gorgeous! Everything else was right. And then it looks like she is taking a shit. NO! NO NO. Seat her on anything but the thrown of glory.

2. You crop fingers, toes, and forheads. NO! Especially foreheads in your case lol.

But that's all I could find. Salty spitoon welcomes you.

Salt for you!
WHY is that godawful photo your avatar? Like I get it, your pose is pretty cool. SAVE it for a better quality photo! Always sell yourself. You probably don't have a problem selling yourself, but still. SELL YOURSELF.

Not digging this shot, as its not up to par with the rest.

That's all I've got.

Weenie hut critique~

2months on MM...that being said... I have multiple images from the same shoot up right now because I can't tell which is the best, but I'd like to round it down to 1 pic per shoot... well I struggle to look at myself objectively, so feel free to axe most of my portfolio

Good: You have some cool shots in there and a good start honestly. Good look and you pose well.

Bad: You're right, we'll need to cull some. But that's ok.

https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/31395151
Its landscape which won't show you as well as the portrait shots.
https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/31395154
Pose is forced.
https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/31335611
The shot isn't flattering to you, though you did well.

I cant even see you in this shot.

I hope you recover soon, having had issues with a shoulder myself I know how frustrating it can be! I really hope you aren't in too much pain xx

The recovery is going well surprisingly. And I'm sorry to hear about your shoulder. Hopefully its fixable.

Now to the critique!

This shot doesnt show enough of you! and the other one is better.

Why cant I see your nose?!? It seems like parts of you are dissapearing into the background.

And that's all I've got. Actually a fan of your work honestly. You have a really good niche in avant garde modeling that you do really well.

Could I get a Weenie hut critique? And what concept of shoot should I try next?

Good: You have a very good commercial/lifestyle port, aside from the one nude shot. You have decent expressions, and good posing.

Bad: I find your stuff too safe at times. I'd love to see a strong beauty shot from you, and some fashion where you really pose and rock it, to branch out and give an oomph to your port.

Thanks, Samantha! I've been encouraged a few times to do a strong beauty shot. And I personally would like to do some fashion as well, so I will work on it!

Lose this shot. It doesnt seem to fit with the rest of your work.

I also find some shots you have to be awkward shots of the llama:

Thank you!
Good: I think you have a good classic style, and I liked your maternity shot. You shoot well balance colored images, and your outdoor is definitely a strong point.

Bad:
I'd say you struggle when taking black and white. for some reason, those were my least favorite shots in your portfolio. They came out too boring with little contrast. Now some shoot in just color, but if you wan't that balance, I think that side of the spectrum needs a little work in balancing the lowlights and highlights.


This shot needs to go in your port: https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/p … 8#22361178

Weenie hut critique please!  However, if you see something that looks crummy, use all the salt you need.

Good: You have some very creative ideas. I like your vintage and pin up styled work.
https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/24778524
The first shot in this series is gorgeous.

Bad: Your photoshop skills. Very cheesy, too much gaussian blur, and everything is unrealistic, which bothers me. I want you to do two things. If you take outdoor pictures, I recommend not to shop skies into the backgrounds anymore. Just shoot early in the morning, and you'll get pretty skies. If you have to, make sure the artificial sky makes sense lighting and hue wise in the shot. Basically the first thing is to make your photography consistently good before playing with photoshop. Secondly, when you do photoshop, I'd take tutorials on how to make it more realistic and visually appealing. If that's not something you have time to do, pay a retoucher, or just do simple fixes. A lot of your photography I feel would be just fine without the extra photoshop. Good luck!

Bad: Yes, you do need to update, and that's really your main thing, since your shots are from the year I was born! Only thing I can really say when you do update, is work on hue control in your color shots. Less yellow on the nudes. That's pretty much all I can critique.

Wishing you a quick and smooth recovery.

Please take a look at my port and go whichever direction you feel is best. (I'd probably lean towards weenie hut, but if it's salty spitoon, then so be it).

Cheers

Thank you!

Good: You have some good use of natural light, and for the most part good composure. Only one shot had a cropped foot, which shows you're focusing on decent cropping. I can say there weren't any really bad shots.

https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/31365976

This shot is absolutely lovely.

Bad: You only appear to have 3 shoots under your belt. Honestly I thought it was only two at first since two of the shoots blend so much in together. This means for what you have, it is very repetitive. Branch it out! Either do something indoors, or a different background/look.

I'd like a different sort of critique...if we were to shoot together what would we shoot and why?

Thank you!

Critique: I'd definitely shoot with you, as I like your style of work.
You definitely have a strong suit in portraiture styles, which all though is something I love doing, it is something I am working to branch away from. For a shoot with you, I'd hope to challenge both of us to do a full body shot. I think you could do well in one of two directions. You could probably do a kickass avant garde shoot, or I would challenge you to do a soft look, such as the image below:

https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/1 … 79bf4e.jpg

Both styles would be something I could see you doing well.

Good: I like the creativity and some of the edgy shots in there.

I'd drop the last image of this series:
https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/30946922
Comes off a little rapey looking to me, like she is annoyed/bothered by it. The other two shots in this are awesome though.

Probably would ditch the tattooing image, since while its a good image, it isnt really selling you to models.

WEENIE hut!

Good: You are very pretty and have such lovely skin! You have a good bone structure  and you'll do fine. You might consider agency work, because while 5'8 might be a smidge short, its tall enough to where an agency will still consider you.

This shot needs to be your avatar: https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/1 … 237c94.jpg

Bad: Before you submit to an agency if thats what you want to do, practice with expression. Your poses aren't bad for a start, but you do make a lot of the same faces. Also in the beach shots, why did you decide on lingerie? I think it is a little out of place in the outdoor location.
