I'd like to see variety in your port that extends beyond simple costumes - if the costume is the star, then you can argue that anyone can wear it - and you don't want that. Based on what I am seeing right now, I would reluctantly pass knowing that I am probably missing out on something, but also remembering lessons of the past to trust my instincts that I should choose my models based on what I see in their books, not what my imagination thinks they could do.

It's not always possible, and some people I meet now and again aren't into fun, which is a pity. I was surprised to see your photos, the rather generous amount of nether 'fur' (sorry, nether fur is my copyrighted cutie term for it) and yet then see an open ended suggestion than there was flexibility on changing that, for shoots. That impresses me as my default understanding with most nude models is they do that because 'art' photographers insist an the au natural wild growth aesthetic. That fact that you're even hinting that you'd be willing to change this for a shoot is something. So, yes, I'd give you a spin pending successful negotiation on concept and all that.

It's a little hard to describe, I won't try nor do I want to blast this idea 'out there'. But if the time ever came, I'd fly it by you and see if you'd be willing to give it a spin.

Katie Gradie wrote: I'm curious to know! Probably not. Some photographers would be shocked to hear me say it, turning down a model with your look, but when I see a model who does nudes as you do, with such a wonderful body as you have, the face has to match the emotion of the moment. And I don't feel as though you use your face to express the emotion that the frame is trying to create. Your expression is fairly consistent regardless of the setting, and I could see myself trying to pull emotion from you and being frustrated. I could be completely wrong - you could be a veritable emotion machine and have chosen to display the images in your portfolio because you like a fairly low key expression, but I can only go by what I see. There are some occasions where the expression you are showing is perfect, but in the context of an entire body of work it seems as though you're on autopilot with expressions and conveying an emotional tone.

Thank you so much for you kind feedback! I do agree with a lot of what you say and am determined to flesh out my port with more variety.

Stuck inside this weekend: flu, retouching backlog. So bumping this to give me a distraction for the weekend.

Me maybe? Thanks! Tel Edit: gosh, I hope it's not really presumptuous of me to post with so few photos - I'm still learning!
