I just passed the 4 year mark. I can't believe it. 4 years of modeling. Time sure has flown!

I'd love for a few people to look through my port and tell me my best and worst photo and why. Please don't critique the lighting or editing. Just my pose, expression and such as a model.

If you have any suggestions on improvement or where you think I do my best work that would be great to hear! Fashion, beauty, glamour, etc.

Thanks!  smile

Your an extreme beauty, really. I was surprised when I looked into your portfolio due to how your avatar portrays you. IMO not personally one of your best , considering you have such good ones. I also do not care for this one, does no justice for your face and eyes even though it does have good color...

Love this for the angle on your face (not the cleavage :-) that makes it look great and is still one of my fav shots of you:

Love this iconic fashion shot pose/look/styling:

Intensity of this look goes w/ the hair...the hair was too messy though:

Don't like this pose because it makes your close hip look way too big:

Bunching the cloth together makes your waist look large:

Nice smile in your eyes but the hair front of your mouth is a major distraction:

Great job for modeling for only 4yrs.  Nice range of expressions and nice variety of shots.

I would work on improving facial expression (I think everyone can, honestly) and poses.

You have a good variety of clothing/locations but a lot of your poses are the same.
I think the biggest thing you could improve on is knowing where to put your hands. In 11 of your pictures (not including your beauty pictures) you have your arm/hand up near your face. If I included the beauty pictures that would be over half of the shots in your portfolio. Just something that I noticed.
