Her forehead has been cut off sad
Great portfolio though!!

On another note, I'm going to get skipped cause the person below me also commented on the same photographer sad

Seems to be lacking something.. And is framed a lot differently from your other photos.

Haha, I noticed.. I'd pick this just because it's not on par with the rest of your port.. Good expression though

I read that your a new model, and I think you're off to a great start. But this feels super amateur, like you're posing for a friend or something. It's not as good as the rest of what you've got.

Too much hair all over the face, eyes are looking to the sides so all we see is white. You pose very well but this one doesn't do it for me.

I really like your photos! But if I had to choose one, It'd probably be https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/33007273 18+, just because the pose and lighting doesn't really do it for me.

This wasn't easy - there are no losers in your port.

I note that her left foot is (motion?) blurred in this shot:

It looks like the sun is in your eyes and you're squinting. Based on other photos in which your eyes are clearly visible, that's a shame in this shot smile

I appreciate the variety of your portfolio, you take chances and that's good.
I'd recommend you ditch this image> https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/130429/13/517ed81fc3aec_m.jpg

It's very cliche, flat and not very interesting. I first time photoshop user may find this exciting, or a "model" who has never "modeled" may see this as clever but c'mon, most MM users or any savvy viewer will look at it as trite. Kill. You have better!

Pose is a little awkward, definitely the hardest for the eye to instinctively connect with and understand.

Lots of really beautiful stuff in your port, nice work.

In m opinion, the quality just doesn't seem up to the rest of your port for me.

I chose this one due to the framing/cropping, which I find a little unsettling - totally a personal thing.

Yep, that's a nice eye. But I don't like the crop, and the lighting is unflattering. You can see every little wrinkle and stray hair, and that's not the point of the photo, so it takes away from it. The rest of your portfolio is far superior. smile

It's too much like you're average sex puss picture. It's seen and done a million times, and better than this as well. Doesn't show anything unique about you.

Lovely port! I have to go with this one. Like the creative makeup idea but the strand of hair over your lips is awfully distracting.

Elin,

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and beholding you is beautiful!  The only one I have to point out is due to the fact of my own personal issues and not yours.  I don't like smoking pictures so:

It's still a great shot, yet not my taste!

This one, though I think as a whole there needs to be a mass culling of the herd to show a sleeker more balanced portfolio. With so many shots it's easy to have shots that are not your best make it into the fold.

This one.  Overall I like your shots but the composition does not work for me.  Count the number of shots in your port where you cropped off the top of the models head.  This can work when it serves a purpose like drawing the focus to a tight shot of the eyes but it can also distract as it did for me in this one.

I do like the other aspects of your style though.  Great light in your shots.

I'd like to see the same depth as your other work for your head shot. This one is too stare(y) and straight-on.

Very nice portfolio!
