Hi there, It's been quite a few months since I've asked, and I've been shooting nonstop really... so I'd like to know your thoughts on my work as it stands today I've tried to add a ton of versatility in genres (beauty, art nude, glamor, etc), facial expressions, and poses. Have I achieved this? Are there any images you absolutely love/hate? What direction would you recommend I go next? Thanks for your time. Christine IDiivil Apr 09 13 01:54 am Link Why would you need to change direction? I think you portfolio is amazing, shows very good modelling skills. I would love the chance to shoot with you one day! What you do is very erotic more than glamour I think, but you add such class and style to the images! You should be very proud!

Apr 09 13 05:34 am Link I wouldn't change a thing....... You are an exceptional model. You should be critiquing not looking for critiques, you don't need one!.. Ruben Apr 09 13 05:41 am Link Thanks, guys I'm not looking to change direction, per se. I was just wondering "What next?" since I cleared quite a few genres and looks recently Just thought I'd see if anyone had any inspiration for me. Apr 09 13 01:51 pm Link Here is my advice: stop trying so hard. If your portfolio gets any better, you are going to start intimidating people out of working with you. Apr 09 13 01:56 pm Link I think your port is awesome. Only thing that really stuck out to me is you don't seem to smile much. Maybe a photo with a smile would add a little diversity. Apr 09 13 02:06 pm Link I particularly like the new beauty shot you're currently using for your avatar.

My rates are negotiable, so don't be afraid to write me whether you are just starting out or very experienced. Do you think that covers it?

But honestly I am less likely to make a paid shoot offer to a model once she gets to your level and beyond. I begin to think she is out of my league (or at least out of my price range).

Apr 09 13 02:56 pm Link wonderful port I think the (tasteful) erotic-ish work is not for everybody, but who cares. you can't please everyone. just something to be aware of. but it seems like you really enjoy doing it, and you're good at it too! the only (and I do literally mean only) comment I could ever come up with in regards to your port and you as a model, is that I personally think you put a bit too much tension in your jaw/chin/lip area sometimes, which sometimes doesn't benefit the picture. But that's really the one and only thing (oh, and the "silver pants" photo. but that's just personal opinion, not a fan of it) love your new avi by the way! and nice to see you throw in some fashion in the mix as well! you rock . must be annoying to have an awesome port and having to come up with things that are even more awesome Apr 09 13 03:19 pm Link ph-photo wrote: +2 Apr 09 13 03:23 pm Link You are amazing!!! I look at your port all the time because you are really inspiring. I love you work even if I dont do nudity. Apr 09 13 03:48 pm Link Apr 09 13 03:53 pm Link If you've been really busy shooting, that should tell you something is working. Why change? Apr 09 13 03:54 pm Link IDiivil wrote: North Apr 09 13 03:55 pm Link It's a very strong portfolio that you have created Personally I would like to see a bit more Sunshine and Color ( as in fabric ) though Apr 09 13 04:03 pm Link You think too much. Apr 09 13 04:05 pm Link Nope, hate all of 'em . . . ditch 'em and come shoot with me immediately . . . Nah, it's always a pleasure to wander through your port, maybe add some fetish fashion looks, or some period looks, perhaps an 1830's New Orleans "Mistress of the evening" kinda theme . . . or some hard edged bike or motorhead stuff, with an erotic twist . . . geeeezzzzzzzz, any direction you'd like to try seems to work when you throw your look, energy, and attitude into it . . . SOS Apr 09 13 05:18 pm Link I think its lovely and you have exceptional variety of poses. https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/31623351 18+ This is one of my favorites.

I really like this one 18+ https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/28980099 The capture shows you in a very beautiful way and the way you pose is very natural looking. A series that would include this one would be breathtaking. Don't change, just keep adding. Warm Regards. Apr 09 13 05:41 pm Link Hi Christine, You obviously have some of the best figure images out there. They show your modeling ability in that area extremely well. Unfortunately the high end money is rarely in this narrow field. While there are some great artistic nude photographers, many just want to shoot nudes to be near beautiful naked women. With your exotic face and perfect form, I would suggest adding in high fashion, expensive lingerie, makeup, and elaborate hair style shots. Since you are so comfortable in front of the camera and have such great fluid movements, you may also do very well in theater, and movies (not porn), since you don't need the same height as you do for runway. Many actresses are quite petite, an asset on camera in smaller spaces where light placement is critical for the lighting ratios required in movies. Petite women also make vertically challenged leading men look taller . You certainly have the exotic look that's featured in the sensual James Bond movie openings. Just keep pushing your own boundaries, while staying grounded in your own beliefs of what is right for you, not just what the photographer wants. Much Success, Michael Apr 09 13 10:52 pm Link Model with Michael wrote: Thanks for the advice I've been kind of hovering around the idea of going into acting... used to do a lot of theater and stuff when I was younger... so this is encouraging Apr 10 13 05:36 am Link You have an amazing portfolio! Beautiful features and hair! and a stunning body Your skin also looks gorgeous - MUA's dream!! The only one im not sure about is this.. https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/32264065 - i just dont particularly see the point of it Amazing stuff, you should be proud Apr 10 13 07:22 am Link very much achieved....your new head shots are gorgeous, your nudes with TH Taylor are fantastic. I love the new direction Apr 11 13 06:59 am Link I really like that you added some beauty like your avi as well. Maybe you could add a few more images showing your personality, maybe a smile or two. Its up to you really, if that type of work (commercial) is something you want to pursue. When I am looking for a model and trying to decide between who on the short list (rigt look, right size for the cothes, etc) I should cast; I look for signs that they have a good personality, easy to work with, and won't be a drag on the shoot. Apr 11 13 07:16 am Link Thanks for all the tips, guys Sounds like my new goal is to add some smiles! Or at least some happier personality shots Edited a little bit based on your criticisms and replaced some shots I personally was unsure about. Thanks again for all your help Apr 11 13 02:15 pm Link I love your avatar. It's beautiful!! You have a beautiful portfolio!! I'm sorry that I didn't get a chance to shoot with you before you moved to LA. I will be shooting with a model from San Diego in May. Apr 13 13 10:04 am Link every time i see your port there's something else new and exciting, you do amazing work!!! very inspiring! Apr 13 13 10:59 am Link |
