I absolutely love this photo:

The pose and the expression work great together, and you look beautiful.

https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/p … 5#21952325
These pictures are stylish and cool, but your expressions seem kind of dead. Not my favourite.

https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/p … 5#29418699
Your body looks fantastic in this, but your expression doesn't seem to be interacting at all.

https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/p … 5#32021673
This one just feels a little awkward. Probably my least favourite in your port.

https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/p … 5#31604859
LOVE your face in this one!

https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/p … 5#31848705
Good connection with the concept and other model!

https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/p … 5#31848678
This one's so awesome, your eyes are fabulous!

https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/p … 5#31466511
This one looks like a behind the scenes photo, to be honest...

https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/p … 5#29135963
Probably my favourite!

I actually really like a majority of your photos. I think you have a lot more potential and are doing great so far! Your facial expressions are wonderful!

The pinup one, I wish I could remove the middle pic. & The 'behind the scenes' one... yeah, I can see that. Idk. Might remove that one eventually.

Thank you for the critique! smile I'm trying, lol.

For just starting out you're doing pretty good!

https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/32009758
This photo is one I like, but probably my least favourite of your portfolio. Your face looks spectacular but as a model you should always "find the light" and in this case it should have been hitting your face more.

https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/31995273
This is my favourite. It shows off your body perfectly.

https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/p … 3#32106267
This is another favourite. Your pose is perfect as well as your expression.

Like I said, you're off to a wonderful start! I'd try to get more conceptual shoots in your portfolio though.

You have a very pretty and versatile look!

When you do shoots you should only add one or two photos with the same look in your portfolio. There are a few where you have the exact same concept and outfit, just a different pose. I'd pick your favourite and delete the others.

I don't like these photos especially:
https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/29322129
https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/29322148
https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/30090281
Due to unflattering lighting and awkward posing.

I really like this one:
https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/30021419
The photography isn't the strongest but that's not your fault. Your pose and expression is wonderful!

Obviously you'll need to do more shoots and get more concepts in your portfolio, but so far you're doing great! Your a very attractive guy, and have the body for male modeling.

You need to work on your facial expressions, as they're the same in almost every photo.

There's not too much to critique because of the similar studio photos, but you definitely have potential!

Hello fello teen model!

You're absolutely gorgeous.

This photo is my favourite:
https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/32094749
The pose and location are beautiful. Your face could have had a bit more expression but it's still a great photo.

https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/p … 9#32094746
I know that's a jumping photo, but I'm not really loving it. Your legs look beautiful, but the rest of your body is just awkward.

A small critique but when you do things with your hands, you always have them in a neutral position. Try changing that up a bit.

That's all I really have to say! smile

The first thing I noticed was that you need more variation in your mouth.

Also, you have a lot of photos. You should cut down on that and delete everything but what you think is your best work.

https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/28645856
This is definitely my favourite from your port. The outfit and location works beautifully together and your legs are very elongated! Also, your pose is fantastic.

This is my least favourite:

It looks like an instagram photo, not a modeling photo.

This photo is probably my favourite. It's clearly a very happy photo, and your pose and expression look beautiful yet a bit sexy.

https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/19629534
This one is probably my least favourite. Your facial expression doesn't work with the way you're angling it, making it look awkward and a bit creepy.

Your portfolio is very versatile and I love that! It definitely caught my eye!

I really like this picture. You did a great job with connecting your pose to your expression.

https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/p … 8#31046886
This photo does't really say "model". It's more of a shot you'd see on Facebook.

https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/p … 8#30555522
Should be deleted. Looks like it's an Instagram picture.

https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/p … 8#28868211
Very pretty! It shows your versatility.

https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/p … 8#28860372
Your legs are too far apart making them look awkward. But other than that, it's a great photo.

You're a very pretty and versatile model, which is shown well throughout your portfolio!

Beautifully done, it shows your body well.

https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/p … 6#32095860
I like the overall photo, but your arm that's touching your face is squeezing in your breast, making it look pretty silly and unflattering.

https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/p … 6#32026303
Your skin blends in with the couch too much. Try not to make that mistake again.

https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/p … 6#30565989
Definitely your best photo! You look beautiful.

You have plenty more potential, and I'd suggest working with only the best photographers to improve!

Before even looking at your page I was excited, because your main image is so beautiful. It makes me want to see more!

https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/p … 7#31045707
This pose kind of just makes you look dead. Not loving it.

https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/p … 7#30312725
Very good angle of you!

https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/p … 7#29669215
This photo is absolutely breath-taking.

https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/p … 7#29073673
This photo is bad quality and brings down the overall good image of your portfolio. I'd suggest deleting it.

You're SO beautiful, and I love your look.  Try and do more conceptual shots involving hair and makeup to show your versatility.

Just your look? Hm, Okay!

Your hairstyle/color makes you able to look pretty and pure, but also sexy which shows great versatility, and you'll be able to do many different concepts that work for you. I think you need to work a little bit more on toning your upper arms, but you definitely have a beautiful body.

I prefer not to, because I can only see things from a model's point of view, and can't offer much constructive criticism since I don't have much experience with actual photography.

I do like your port though. My only suggestion would be work on your photo-shop techniques. You have some beautiful photos!

You have a FANTASTIC body for nude modeling. Your poses are perfection and you definitely know your angles. I'd suggest doing more in color, since the majority of your photos are black and white.

https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/30844028
This photo is my favourite. You look so tranquil and pretty, not overly sexy like in some nudes.

Thank you so much for the kind words! (: Same can be said for you - your portfolio is already awesome, especially for someone so young! Love the new shots especially. You're definitely going to do well.

You're right, that photo is a bit snapshotty. I'll get rid of it soon when I get new photos to fill the space. Although I feel like I might have too many already. Hmm.

First of all I'm not a huge fan of the screen shot Instagram pictures. Just right in the caption that that's what it is.

I also don't like this photo very much:

Awee well thank you! Just to let you know (i need to add that in the caption now...) the insta photos ARE NOT of me they are pictures I want to recreate and wanted to add them to my lists bc i didnt know a better way to list them...

i agree with completely with the critique of the snow picture and ive let my other less professional photos go but I hate to let that one go because of how many compliments i get on the uniqueness lol so you win some you lose some i guess i think id like to try it over again though and get a better pic of myself

surprisingly the photographer that shot the snow pic and the one of me in the coral dress are one in the same!

It`s pretty but not focused or detailed, and the photograpy isn't beneficial to your portfolio.

Other than that, your portfolio is seriously stunning! If I were a photographer, I'd work with you in a heartbeat!
