You photograph too old, your eyebrows are too thin, lips are too thin, nose too big and your teeth stick out a lot ohhhh and you have a tattoo... Not someone I would consider a model. hmm

No, I wouldn't work with you.

Your work isn't bad. Your avi is not good, makes the model look like she has a massive face (bad angle)

This photo makes the model look like her stomach hurts and her face looks big again.

Over all though, your work is nice, keep at it.

Well I guess I will throw my hat in the ring. Despite the fact that you stated you don't want to be a model anymore, because of lack of control, and boredom, I would work with you if for no better reason than to shoot the shit about seeing the process from both sides of the fence... As well as your directorial process, it's got to be different than someone who hasn't been in front of lens (I've noticed, on this site at least, most models turned photographer are little bit harsher when it comes to critique).

I think models turned photographers are a bit more harsher then just normal photographers/models because we get bitched about taking a different road and people thinking we didn't work hard enough to get to where we are *like we haven't paid our dos* roll

Anywho, your work is dark and dramatic. I little too much going on with make-up. If anything I would have you shoot more clean/light things for your portfolio change it up, challenge yourself. The best part of photography is that you can pick the type of photography you want to do and be amazing at it but also not limit yourself in shoot anything and everything. Something models don't have the luxury of doing.

Yes, I would work with you.

Your work is very hit or miss for me... Some things are okay other need to go. Some photos the lighting is good others it's lacking and other times the retouch is a little too much or not enough.... It's like you can't seem to find your happy medium.

For now I wouldn't work with you. keep at it smile

I can tell you are trying REALLY hard to be good. The ideas are there but the technique is still missing. You have the ideas down but you lack in executing them.

For example; You had the chance to shoot models on a helicopter, the hair/make-up are great, styling is nice but posing/storyline is not fully there. When I look at those photos the first thing I think of is "okay so she just sitting in a helicopter? doesn't look like a helicopter. Why is that model just standing outside the helicopter, why isn't someone trying to help her in or out of it. It just doesn't flow."

You need to be more detailed in your story telling.

I can tell you are new, just by looking at your portfolio..... I wouldn't work with you as a model but I'd let you assist me on a shoot so I could teach you a few things.

For now it's a no but I'm sure I'd say yes if you ask me again in a couple of months.

Good luck! smile

Ohhh man hmm so bad! The lightings is awful/flat. The pinup/boudoir is not even done properly. Do you even know what boudoir is? You need to stop shooting and start doing some research on what pinup and boudoir photography should look like... Here I'll help you start. This is a great and talented woman that makes magic with her clients. https://www.facebook.com/kissedbylight check the blog out as well.

I would not work with you in a million years. You need a LOT of work.

Alright lets get down to business. You really suck at lighting/ideas when it comes to your work. There is sooo much going on in your photos. Your models aren't the focus. My eyes look everywhere and all I think is WOW what is the point of this photo. Doesn't tell me a story, doesn't give me a feeling. It's flat, nothing there, a photograph of a boring moment.

The only photos I like are the ones in your form folder.. Looks cool.

No, I wouldn't work with you.

Your portfolio is nice but your look kind of makes me question if you are the type of model I would work with.

This photo makes me say no. You look like a drag queen

Over all you have a nice look, but your nose is a little big and lips are thin. Not a combination I am a fan of hmm

No, I wouldn't work with you.

Way too many photos in your portfolio. You need to get deleting girlie! You've got a lot of crap to throw away.

Your pretty, love the curves but I find your eyes are a little too close together and your upper lip is a little too thin for my liking. I'd have to pass.

No, I wouldn't work with you.

First time a photographer has said anything about my eyes other than that they are huge and wide! Thanks for the critique though, have been trying to narrow down my port :-)

Progress! (a year ago or so it was a "no" because you were suspicious of the lack of color images in my port).

You're a boob guy huh? tongue lol

The angles and concepts of your work aren't good at all. Lighting skills are average at best, still need a lot of work.

Your product shots are a lot better then your portrait/people photos.

No, I wouldn't work with you.
