What truth do you see?

The truth is you're not kidding anybody!! Mad lighting skills, pro level stuff all of the way!! Nicely executed concepts, some I've seen before of course, but after over 100 years of photography, what hasn't been done before. Potential realized!!:-)

You have a pleasant face, but at 5'4" I don't see much potential for fashion runway work. Commercial/Lifestyle maybe. I have no idea what the market is like in Russia, but good luck!:-))

Ok, first things first! Your avatar should be a pic that draws the viewers eye, yours is too dark to represent you at all. More smiles, less frowns, better photographers might lead to some local potential, but for now, keep the day jobs.

Your potential will depend on just how much time and effort your willing to put into learning photography. You have 3 photographs, the rest are snapshots. YouTube is your friend there's tons of info there.

Can u point wich ones? Pls

3 and 4 top row, and 4 on second row show more care taken as to lighting and composition. Your white balance is all over the place and the posing in others is like vacation shots a couple might take.

At 5'4" you should be closer to 100# than 140#. You seem comfortable posing and have some good shots, but I don't see mainstream potential.

Wow! Thank you! I still feel like a noob though.

You take allot of pictures but without enough thought or care taken as too lighting, composition... Your WB is all over the place making for poor color rendition. I have the same problem sometimes, I call it the " naked girl in the room syndrome ".
Before shooting for real in each setup go through the entire menu of the camera, take test shots at different WB settings and pick the one that gives the best color, not just the one you think is right, auto WB is almost never right in mixed lighting.

You're a lovely girl, good stats, though not skinny enough for haute couture necessarily. (picky bastards!!):-)) I think you show great potential!

Sure, I'll join in.

Guys keep asking, but I really don't have any idea about what the male modeling industry wants in a model, I personally don't shoot males. Your potential will be what you make of it with your time and effort marketing yourself.

Ok, I'm very interested in your opinin and look forward to it.  Thanks.

By golly, you're gettin there! Your studio lighting is pretty good, the location stuff is kind of hit & miss. White balance is good. Try some experimenting with composition, empty space, rule of thirds... Having the subject of a photograph center frame is OK for headshots, but gets boring real quick.

Damn it, you're right. I have fallen into a bit of a rut with the models generally centered. I was working rule of thirds, but yes, I need to work a bit more with the empty space. Appreciate the critique.

Very nice indeed!! You don't need to ask me about your potential, its apparent in your port!! Maybe a few more smiles!:-))

Hit me with your best shot (: I'm still pretty new and working to improve.

Pretty girl! At your age it's very important that a parent be fully involved in and present at any shoot!! Don't expect much from MM. You need to get yourself seen by real modeling agencies, not these stupid wannabe "agencies" that make you pay for modeling classes or make you pay for photos from their recommended photographers. You need to contact big city high end modeling agencies and ask them how best to present yourself to them.
You must change your avatar!!!! The black box is a total buzzkill, I NEVER look at any port with an unrecognizable avatar. I would recommend this one!:-)

I can't decide whether I'm seeing just poor technique or artistic intent. There isn't really a good photograph in your port. It's time to hit amazon and get some books on photography.

Oh gosh yes please let me know. Haha.

Ok, first things first, you HAVE to rewright your profile!! The whole rant about not being skinny, unconventional... Is a total downer and most photographers will just got to the next port. You have a pretty face, great smile... I'd shoot you anytime from your pictures but nobody wants the drama.

Your avatar is a pretty damn good headshot, the other three are basically snapshots.

Photography is mainly about the light and how it falls on the subject, what are the qualities of the light, is it harsh (specular) or soft (diffuse). What direction is it coming from, is there light from more than one direction? One thing a photographer has to be able to do is "read" a photograph, look closely at it and by looking at the shadows and catchlights figure out where the light is coming from. Just starting out, it's time to get some books and burry yourself in YouTube for some tutorials on lighting.

Have fun, keep shooting!!:-)
