I like your profile, simple and positive.

You are off to a good start with your porfolio.

Work on your expressions, relax and let yourself emote. The camera is your friend, it looks like your defenses are up in some of the photos.

You are beautiful, have fun modeling!!

Too many blank expressions, mix it up! You have a good look, good stats, you just have to remember to be more expressive.

Best of luck!

Anita welcome to the Mayhem!  You have a great look for fashion.  Watch this video by top fashion model Coco Rocha and if you can do 10% of the looks she can do you will be miles ahead of many other models.

Best wishes to you in 2014!

You have a great look and grand potential. You have some great shots but some that just shouldn't be in there. My advice is to delete the ones that have no comments at all. The one of you jumping on the bridge is cute but more a candid taken with a normal point and shoot camera. Doesn't look high quality sorry.

I would also suggest you get more shots with color and mix up the facial expressions. You live in such a wonderful country so why not change it up and shoot in the country side a bit more and add another dynamic to your work.

So overall I give your portfolio a thumbs up but definitely add some more variety and work with photographers who hold their standard high. I can only see you improving from here on out.

Best of luck with it all! Can't wait to see what you produce next.

Model wise this is very cute, great smile
Details:
Models right sleeve, the cuff looks partly up and down
Shirts that have logos, designs are distracting the viewer’s eyes off your beautiful face

https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/140704/09/53b6d6092272e_m.jpg
Interesting photo, but your eyes are not fully open

https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/140703/23/53b64be729f5c_m.jpg
Due to position of arms the size of midsection is lost
Lower shoulder toward camera for long appearing neck
[Try lowering shoulder and rolling it back next time]
Try head position that minimizes neck wrinkles

https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/140703/14/53b5d0b2579a1_m.jpg
For me this is your greatest image
My changes: Lower models right shoulder so earring does not touch, few stray strands of hair

https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/140701/00/53b2653b4f80a_m.jpg
Models right arm, when I see that much arm would love to see the hand
Models left arm pull elbow off to side so more of hand can be seen, also as it is left upper arm is dominating photo

https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/140701/00/53b264d2d70f4_m.jpg
From the models perspective you did a quality pose

The photos I have commented on are my favorites from your portfolio, they are the strongest you have and would inspire many photographers to work with you

Recommendations, studio style headshot, full length standing dressed for success [night on the town, business professional]
Look for photographers to work with that do not need to put logos on your photos

I wish you the best

Normally, I would say that obscuring your face in a portfolio is not a good idea, but this is so strong I think you should leave it in.
https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/140709/02/53bd0ddc751ae_m.jpg

I would crop this to only head and shoulders to lose the distraction of the shirt, You are very cute here (that's good).
https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/140709/02/53bd0d2952db2_m.jpg

Gorgeous! Amazing eyes. Pose and expression maximize your facial features.
https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/140704/12/53b6fe2e1e5b8_m.jpg

Not a good facial expression. I'm not a fan of having to turn my head sideways to see face.
https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/140704/09/53b6d6092272e_m.jpg

Your expression here looks a bit confused and given the picture and wardrobe, I don't blame you, but a portfolio should show you at your best. This is not it.
https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/140704/00/53b6548002039_m.jpg

Here, even though it's a strong photo that I like, you are too obscured for a portfolio shot. The pose and eye contact are excellent except for the forward knee.
https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/140703/23/53b64e3f42b7c_m.jpg

Not a fan of the leaning back pose. Cropped just below the bust line improves the shot a great deal. Watch out for light highlighting the fine hairs on the back of your arm
https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/140703/23/53b64be729f5c_m.jpg

Good one! A little dark around your eyes but a strong shot showing your stregnths.
https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/140703/15/53b5d47e5ca53_m.jpg

A good shot, if a bit overprocessed.
https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/140703/14/53b5d0b2579a1_m.jpg

Everything works here.
https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/140701/00/53b2653b4f80a_m.jpg

This is not a portfolio shot. You are too obscured by the harsh light. One can see that you have great legs.
https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/140701/00/53b265028dd39_m.jpg

This is very hard light which, at this angle, is highlighting the peach fuzz on your jaw line. The pose and angle show how beautiful you are. The logo does not. I am reminded of Francesca Annis here.
https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/140701/00/53b264d2d70f4_m.jpg

Shows you face and figure well, somewhat awkward leg position.
https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/140709/04/53bd2d7e7151f_m.jpg

You have a wonderful face which can show many moods and looks and a figure that will show clothes well. Pick your photographers carefully.
Good luck!
