I am about to make a comp card in the next month after I finish two shoots in the future. Please help me pick at least four to put on the card. If I don't have ones you like please leave an idea so I can shoot it in my upcoming photoshoot.
I will either do the same for you, give you and overall portfolio critique or comment on your photos. THANKS

hi Tayler, i choose;
1st row 3rd pic. to me it shows strength that you can bring.
3rd row 2nd and 3rd pic are the best at showing your face eyes and smile.
and your avitar. shows me that you are willing to try things
these are my opinions. hope it helps.
for your upcoming shoots do more head shots and elongated body shots.

None of your photos are comp-card worthy atleast they are not what clients want to see in a comp-card. I shoot comp-cards for a living.

For upcoming shoots shoot with a commercial photographer that can get you strong commercial images. And have someone style the shoot right now the wardrobe you have chosen seems more towards glamour is neither fashion nor casual so it doesn't work.

Going by your stats and your look you are more suited for commercial print modeling.

This is what a comp should include

I would like to see you add a studio style head shot with no hands or arms surrounding your head

Like this but raise your chin so you are not cutting off the top of your eyes

Full length standing but give us a model pose, think dynamic have head and body facing different directions, make sure the background is out of focus so it is less distracting
[Plus remove hair band from wrist]

Like much of what this photo offers
Look at camera to captivate the viewer, bend models left elbow rather then a straight arm

You have a powerful look I wish you well

As a return favor list the top five attractions in your area that a tourist should see, yes I know you are one of them [Smile!]
