The other day I asked to describe my work/style and write a little about it and just got stuck for words. I could only get as far as describing what genres I shoot but trying to go deeper just didn't happen. Thought should ask the question here to help with that mental block. How would you describe my work/style based on my images here? Aug 13 14 07:57 am Link I would say that you have an excessive amount of photos in your port - most of which are quite bland...So Bland would be the word In most of your shots some element of the photo drags down the overall result - ie the concept is stale ,the model is not appropriate , the pose is awkward , etc I think you could cull about 75 percent of your photos for a stronger foundation to build on Take these 3 photos as benchmark shots to equal or surpass from now on https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/31672414 ( but get the face retouched better https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/31137742 https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/31137115 Get a stylist ( or a better stylist ) work with your models on their posing On the positive side - you have been able to find some good models and your lighting is overall ok the underwater shots are quite ambitious - and well lit .With those you though you need to work on the posing and composition of the shots to make them more visually appealing In my opinion those sorts of shots benefit from very dramatic posing with the fabrics of the garments drifting effortlessly in the water to create stronger more interesting shapes Edit - But what do I know , I am just a hobbyist with a Rebel and I haven't even read the user manual Aug 13 14 08:29 am Link My data plan hates your portfolio.. A lot of the stuff at the bottom is great..I like the diversity. Then everything before the four images of the red dress it all looks the same. I feel a portfolio should show a range of styles but also a theme of only your best work Aug 13 14 08:34 am Link Garry k wrote: Seriously? what BS!

Look at a professional's portfolio, or website, not mine. I'm not a pro, but I have seen a few.... then look again and you will see what's wrong with it, if you want to know.
