I would just like a critique on all of my photos and an explanation on why you like the ones you do or don't. I'm a huge fan of constructive criticism, so fire away!

I'd echo the same sentiments. Light seems to be a recurring problem, & a couple compositional things.

Ditto on the above.   That B&W shot (avatar) is very nice.  You have a very strong physiognomy to pull that off well as you did.

The others seem too snap shotish, other than the full-length studio color one (1st one).

All your stat numbers look good for either a LA or NYC agency as well.

Good luck.

This is a nice modeling image

This I would remove
Big logos are a big distraction
Your back is hanging out
Distracting background
Crouched pose is not showing off your height

Great smile

As a model have you contacted any agencies?

I wish you well

I love all of your images except these two:

This ones very plain, looks more like a personal photo.

and this pose is a bit weird to me

and this one I would put as my avatar

Its just very pleasant to look at. A healthy, young gorgeous model.

Your Avatar and the one with you in the Blue and white dress above clearly show off your Beauty. The other images are not showcasing your pretty face or body. keep shooting and start looking at magazines like Teen Vogue and Elle to get ideas on poses. Practice all the time and also practice walking as if doing Runway. This will help with posture as well as training for when you choose to approach agencies. smile
