Hi I am new to the modeling world and just recently had my first photoshoot. I really enjoyed it and would love to get some critique on my photos. Try not to be too harsh  hehe I really want to know what I can do to improve for my next photoshoot.Jul 30 14 06:54 pm Link You have an interesting look, but does not look Puertorican to me (but its just my opinion so no big deal).  Two biggest problem are figure and height, you not fat, but not thin in the mid section, but the problem is that the outfits in almost all the frames that you wore were loose around the waist and just made it look wider (not flattering). The photographer also used a short lens, which made the center of the frame bigger (so that does not help). Conversely, if you want to go for the BBW look, then I think you did not go far enough. It all depends on which look you want. Thin: wear tighter outfits around your waist, key light from a stronger angle, and 100-150mm lens. BBW: soft lighting and short lens Pose-wise, make sure you look towards the light, not away from it. It makes the frame look weak, for example:   Lower your shoulder whenever looking over your shoulder (do not lift it): Profile: Avoid "I DO NOT" in all caps, it can make legit potential clients scared of you. I suggest politely write it at the bottom of your profile (not in all caps). Use caution when posting your number online. Next shoot: Try indoor studio shoots, use stronger key lights. Try different thin and BBW looks depending on which one you like. Edit: removed garbage characters (how did they get there?!) Jul 31 14 01:34 am Link #1 Not a bad pose, a bit uncomfortable looking. Shows off your nice, long legs. A locked arm will bulge your triceps muscle - flex (bend) your arm slightly to look more relaxed. Lower you forward shoulder. Fingers should not be head-on to camera.  #2 Hard shadows do no one any good. Photographer needed to back away to emphasize legs.  #3 Your pose needed to be reversed - body 1/4 turn away from camera (and sun), face full on to camera. Standing square to camera is usually not a good pose. At this point I'm looking for a different expression.  #4 Good pose, bad lighting. Expression? #5 You look strained here - eyes and head turned too far. #6 I like this, because, as a commenter said, it emphasizes your eyes and mouth. The green cast does not help, but I assume this is a selfie.  #7 I like this, too, because you have a lovely face, but the quality is (obviously) not professional.  #8 An Example of What Not to Put In a Portfolio. Bad lighting, prominent complexion problems emphasized by the lighting, outfit emphasizing bulges, distorting your assets and a messy background - take it out ASAP.  You have a lovely face (one might even call it cute but you'd probably hate that). Look at posing examples and practice facial expressions. Find better photographers. Good luck and all the best.

One thing that immediately stands out is the same expression.  Expressions sell images. It has to be in context with the situation though. Work on hamming it up in front of a mirror. Compression and elongation. Posing is about avoiding compression and maximizing elongation. Seated poses tend to compress your stomach, so you have to work harder to stretch and elongate your torso.

I pretty sure that one of the main matters a day before (two or three or more) the shoot is discuss the concept. Model is like an actor. It take need some time to get used to the role, but after it you'll able to show real emotions, according to concept. Aug 13 14 03:31 pm Link |
