I'll tell you why I would or wouldn't. It could be a look or profile thing, or both. Experience, gut feeling, whatever. No drama or hurt feelings. I'll be honest, but I won't be unnecessarily mean. Just tell it like it is. Disclaimer: I'm presuming by participating in this thread that you actually would want to work with me. Otherwise, why would you care what I think? lol Female models only please!

You're lovely, and I'm sure there would be something we'd both like to do. I remember you from a while back. My perspective on you remains the same. Keep up the lovely work.

Vitoria Satan wrote: Would like to know! Hi Vitoria.. You have a very interesting and unique look. My answer is yes, most certainly. It might be difficult to decide exactly what to shoot with you, but I'm sure that could be solved in short order. I do like your unique look. I think you're going to be doing a lot with that.

Jupiter Red wrote: 'Lemme knoww ^.^ You, young lady, are an enigma. Your look is wonderful. Your portfolio text seems to lean a bit on the side of scaring people away. Don't take any of this personally, I'm just a random internet jerk. But you seem to think that trade means 'gimme stuff' (i.e. I will trade if you get me something on my list, or feed me, pay for transportation). That's not trade. Then, on the other hand, I followed your casting link where you spell out terms for what seems to be a more reasonable 'let's trade and we'll do stuff each other wants'. So, it's hard to say which is the real you. IF you were willing to do what I call honest, real trade (i.e. you expect nothing other than retouched images) then yes, I would of course photograph you. You're lovely, and you look quite versatile to me. Thanks for asking.

But I'm quite certain there would be a lineup of considerable length to take my place. I'm guessing you have no trouble getting work.

I would guess not, as many of your models appear to be quite leggy - but, I find your work lovely to look at, and I have recently been updating my own portfolio, so sure, critique me. I feel like I need general feedback anyway. Thanks.

Can't put my finger on it, but I'd want to see some more of your work I think. Perhaps I'm looking for something with a bit more edge, or something that shows me that is in you. Hard to explain!

Meghan Noelle wrote: what about me? I absolutely love your box of bunnies btw. Thanks! Your look falls somewhat outside of my 'typical', I guess you could say. I don't mind going outside of that from time to time, but I'd have to be wanting something specific outside my norm, like pinup etc. So for what I normally do, I think I probably would have to decline.

You have a nice look, but you also have what would (for me) be distracting ink going on. Ink is something I prefer to not have to work around. When it's right 'up there' around the face, that just makes it all the harder to do. So it would be a pass for me just on that point, but you check most of the other boxes just fine

Shooting lots is the best way to learn, get the experience you need and network. Things only get better from there as long as you keep upping your game and learning along the way. good luck!
