Hello!
I took part in a few photoshoots in earlier years however have only recently taken it up seriously, attending regular shoots with various photographers. Because I want to improve my techniques, styles etc it would be soo appreciated if you could provide some critique on my port folio thus far.
Thank you again in advance!

Becca, your synergy with Derek is superb... might be wise to continue collaborating with him... together you've achieved narratives of worth and value... (in my humble estimation)

You have stunning editorial facial features... the ideal perfect oval... I would cherish the opportunity to be on your team...

owing to your height beauty genre is a good match...

The quality of your images is great for the most part. When I look at them as a group I notice you have practically the same facial expression in every picture and not much variety in your poses. In your next photo shoot you might get some more variety by adding an element of a story into your personal narrative, i.e. tea party in the woods, balancing on the beams of a fence somewhere, anything to give more context to the image in addition to your beautiful face. smile

Best of luck!

Thank you so much Perceptive Portraits for your advice.
I do definitely need to work on facial expression!
Will focus more on that and a variety of poses for my upcoming shoots!
Thanks again smile

You've got great expressions that should be used more. Here are the ones I see:

I might drop the dark B&W headshot. It doesn't fit with the style reflected throughout the rest of the port when I look at it on the whole, it stops me from glancing at the following images which imo are stronger.

Lovely stuff -- you've clearly got a good eye and have not let any real shitgarbage sneak into your port. Good work smile

If you were here in Los Angeles and I saw that portfolio, I'd be emailing you this very minute. My advice is: keep it up.

As everyone has previously said, you have gorgeous features. I'd love to have some beauty shots with a face like yours!

3 8 9 10 are images that bring your port down. your current avatar, although a fine pic isnt the best choice as its mostly not about you but the styling 7 wld be better.  you should get some smiles , laughter, animation going in your face.  you are a cutie pie thats for sure.
your lingerie shot is good. Dont think too much about fashion though given your height but more towards life style.

More than half your portfolio is head shots.  Pick the two best and drop the rest, and get more variety into your port that show the modeling you want to do.  There is no modeling genre for head shots.

In some of your photos your hair is a bit fly-away

Wonderful look
I wish you well

At only 5'4" I would say add some lifestyle and beauty images, fashion type would be mostly wasted considering.
