Hi, I would love to get a critique of my portfolio, thank you very much for your time.

Your port looks like you're just starting out. Get more variety in themes, get more focused while making the pictures. And find your way in retouching/post, as I can see you're still on the way.

Go ahead!

Your avatar frightens me, as kind of does the rest of your port. That's not a good basis for me.
I see a lot of experimentation, I don't see a lot of focused purpose.
But maybe that's just me.

I'm afraid I am not giving away free compliments, but free honest opinion.
Yo have some pictures in your port that make you look really ugly.
The others unfortunately look like you're not serious about modelling at all which makes me a very bad advisor as I take photography very seriously (not meaning in the comic way).
None of your photographers seems to be very skilled as well, which might be a result of what I stated before.

I'm sorry if this made your day even worse.

So lets hear the German critique ...

 

**shivers in trepidation**

I like this one, though I miss the highlights a bit.




Get lost of some of your pictures, especially the blurry/unsharp and bad lit ones.
Work more on your lighting. I see you're trying but seem to be not sure or experienced enough yet (this in my experience comes often from bad lighting equipment also as I think might be the case here as well, but that's just a speculation of mine).

Check out mine?

(Port is First model shoot ever, would love some critique)

Though both not really great these are the 2 most promising:





You obviously still have a long way to go, much to improve in different fields. The list would get long here. You know yourself you're just starting. I'd advise you start with either getting more "known" with people (as a subject and as an individual) to built a better connection and capture this or start with studiying and getting to know light fist (and the other thing after that).
These are not the only but the 2 most important things to improve ones pictures, IMHO.

Couldn't pick one.

I don't like the picture you picked for your avatar. As an avatar it's much too much "in the face" and cheap for me.
What your port lacks IMHO is more of the connection and "spark" I wrote about earlier.
I also don't see any "distinctive personal style" in your port. Maybe you could improve that by sorting out and rearranging.
I know the following sounds offensive, but is not meant that way and just a quick impression of mine:
Maybe the stated things will improve as well when you pick your llamas more for charism than for boob size.

Wow, I see you took a very close look at my portfolio. I'm surprised you haven't noticed I'm not a photographer Thank you anyway.

I'm up for it.

Hard choice, I take this one:



As for general port:
Your pictures are very good in about every aspect although not quite my taste & style. Thus there is most likely no advice I could give you and you would take.

Wow, you're totally right, that's a shame. Well, I have to apologize for that and stand the shame.
I can only say that I looked through a lot of ports in short time and as I try to only focus on the pictures this one slipped me.

The overall impression stays the same though. "Personal style" may not be a criteria then, but you still lack the spark in your images. Maybe this is the fault of your photographers, but maybe it's a thing you can give a thought about also. Do you rely on your boobs more than on your personality?
I hope you still take my advice in spite of that shameful mistake I made.
I'm not here to bitch around, that I could have with much less afford. ^^

P.S.: The one thing you can be sure of now is your variety of looks.

It's ok, everybody makes mistakes sometimes.
I actually do rely on my boobs more than personality (when it comes to modelling, not in general of course) because photographers want to shoot only glamour with me and there is nothing I can do about it.
I thought about it as well, I could actually take it as a compliment regarding variety of looks

There's nothing wrong about doing glamour shots, but that doesn't mean it's all about your boobs. If it is, you pick the wrong photographers (and I have the feeling you could use better ones).
I'll be bold and claim that if you look at my own glamour pictures you realize it's not all about the boobs that make the picture, although there are some in it.

Could not pick a "best", there are a lot good ones.

I don't like your avatar. You have way better ones.
Overall: Great pictures, but man, sort some out! 147 is way too much to look at.

Your best:

Your bw-images appear much better than your color-work.
But in general you have to work on your lighting. Soft and flat can often work and is easy to do, but a very good photographer can do much more with lighting.

I make this quick and cruel: I can't pick a best photo. I can't even give you an advice. I don't like your port at all. That's about it. My opinion that is.

Siri Eroom wrote:
Go

Almost all pictures of you have something I don't like or what could've been done better. Sometimes it's photography, lighting or post.
Often it's your posing or facial expression. You seriously have to work on that.

This is the one I like most atm:

I really like the mood of your avatar.
I like the overall quiet natural and yet artsy approach you're taking. Some things need more polishing and some are a bit too experimental for me, but you're on a good way. (and I could be considered a bit traditional/classic concerning photography)

NikonGuy wrote:
Sure, why not 

This one I love:



You should make more of such bold(er) images!
Your overall port is good, but there are quite a few I would sort out cause I don't like them that much and others to make the port more exciting.
Get bolder (the technique is there, don't worry that part)!

I'm not that much into that "vintage grunge" look your portfolio screams all over.
You need more variety. Apart from the described look that's all over it you have almost the same look and styling in every picture.
Get more variety!

I have three shoots coming up, so variety in on the way! Thank you.

Your portfolio shows quiet good photography, but you are in love with effects & Photoshop, are you? Tone that down a bit, you're doing a little too much.
That's what keeps several images from being picked by me.
I finally pick this:

I'd love you to pick what you see as my best image, and give an honest critique if you have time.

Yes, I like your avatar, too.



There were some pictures I quiet liked and some I really didn't.
So 2 advices:
1. Sort some out.
2. Put more thought and effort in the details, at best at shooting, at least in post. This in some cases starts with exposure and WB/color or the intensity of some lights.

Thank you, That runs pretty much true to what I've been feeling, but it's good to hear it from an outside perspective.  Now let's see if I can follow through and take care of those details.
