This is a great thread. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
Don't know if I'm up to standard for a salty spitoon, but would love a brutally honest critique... so have at me with some salt, please!
Hope you mend well.

Sorry about that.
Good:
You have some good relaxed posing. There's nothing really I could say bad about your port, since no image is horrible in there.

This shot is your best.
Bad: With this said, your port doesn't have any shots that are super awesome. It's all in this safe zone of casual fashion. I challenge you to pull yourself out of this and go above just "decent shots of a girl in a dress".

I'll take a salty spittoon critique! SALTY IT IS!
In at least FIVE of your shots, your models are crying. YOU must be a BIG MEANIE EVIL HORRIBLE PERSON. Welcome to the salty spittoon.
But seriously, all your shots intrigue me and they are in a very unique style. Tried to find a cropped foot or a lighting flaw. No sir, your port is nitpick proof.

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. Thanks! Would like to try something like that. Thanks for your thoughtful advice!

I DODGED THE SALTY SPITTOON?!?!?!
Seriously, though, I'm honored and flattered; thank you for your kind words. And insider secret: I AM a BIG MEANIE EVIL HORRIBLE PERSON. I club baby seals to get those models crying!

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. Hello, hope your recovery is going well.
I meant to say thank you for the critique a bit of time ago, but my "real" job took over. Yeah, I've got a day job, while I do photography on the side. You are mostly correct, in that I don't have a lot of official photo shoots at the moment. Probably around four, but I'm not really counting the one as I haven't uploaded any pics from it. My goal for this year is to do more and more and more. Anyhow, I just wanted to say I appreciate the feedback, not only on my port, but on all the others that have posted here.
cheers.

Salty Spitoon Please!
I feel like my port on MM is rough, neglected, and meh the bottom half is my way early work.
Mainly I do weddings and family.
I am looking to book some more model and boudoir shoots. I have only a slight idea what appeals to models and the fashion industry. And I don't I really know what industry I fit into other than the wedding/family. Thanks for the critique.
I hope you are healing up well.

Salty Spitoon please (: and what industry should I be aiming toward? Salty it is:
You have 4 shots from the same look...twice. WHY IS THIS?!? Pick the best look and stick to it. Another problem, is all of your shots give the same feel. Outdoor hipstery freespirit. I get it, those types of shots are fun. But you need to branch out. I recommend a studio shot, with more fierceness to balance out the hipster. Also FACIAL expressions! Next shoot, I want to see some fire, be it sexy, or silly, or mean. With this said, none of your shots are horrible. Just most not awesome....yet.
This shot is awesome and shows the potential I see you could really achieve.

Also, never pose on railroad tracks again. They're cliche and you're better then that.

Why are you leaning so far back here? It looks strained.
Also EXPRESS! It is the slightly parted open mouth every shot. Do some crazy shit! Like a barrel roll. (no not really). But you get what I mean, right?
Still my favorite shot:
https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/30800388 the first pic pose actually didn't feel very straining lol but i know what you are talking about
Will def work on the expression
Thank you

Weenie hut critique Good: You have a really pretty girl next door thing going on, that I really think you could use to your advantage. I think if you were interested in this category, glamour might be a great genre for you to go into, since you have the face and hair and eyes for it.
https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/1 … da40ca.jpg
This shot is gorgeous.
Bad: While you have a lovely smile, I notice it seems to be what you fall back on. While smiles definitely help a port, it can be overbearing when in too many shots.

Good: You obviously know how to model. It shows in your expressions and poses. Plus I am seriously jealous of your hair. You take ridiculously good care of your hair, which is definitely something you could market. I'd see you in a herbal essences add.
Bad: There's nothing bad about your port. But I'd definitely urge you to do more like your avatar and some strong beauty shots just to give some more kick.

Salty Spitoon please (: I have critiqued you before with a salty type critique, but I will reemphasize.
STAHP with the oversaturation HD effect. It ruins shots that otherwise might've been ok shots.
https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/1 … 89b827.jpg
See the green on the trees? Neon. Neon colors overwhelm the human eye, because they are not often found in nature. Some people like this, but when you bunch a ton of crazy colors or make things too contrast-y it will look ugly.
https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/1 … 1ece4e.jpg
This shot you overcontrasted it so much you lost the detail of her skin and her eye. Why did you do this? You also cropped her feet. Negative!
http://www.zssphotography.com/wp-conten … r-girl.jpg
This image was honestly the only image I liked. In this one the cropping isn't bad, the lighting is good, and she looks lovely, and real. It is also the only image you didn't over process to death.
I know once again my critique is harsh, but it is what it is. Go in the direction of the last shot and don't try to overcompensate your photography with photoshop.

I'd love to learn, super new to modeling so any help is great appreciated! And be as honest as you'd like!! Good: For being new you're doing very well. You have really gorgeous features and a very nice complexion.
https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/p … 0#29764140
This shot is my favorite. Your expression is awesome and nothing seems forced about the pose. Well done.
Bad: https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/31354512
This shot does nothing for you. Most of your face is covered and it doesnt show you off well.
I also see you have a lot of body shots. I want to see a head shot in there to balance those out.

Weenie hut critique please  Good: You have a good handle on your modeling so far. You are extremely good with making your stomach and body look good on camera, and that is something I sometimes still struggle with. So I commend you for that.
Best shot: https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/1 … 1a07_m.jpg
Bad: Your hand posing needs some work. The later shots in your port you are doing better, but some of the ones have an awkwardness to them, and some you fall back on the cliche. Say no to hand bra.
Drop this shot:
