Hey all,

I'm new still new to the modelling industry.

After finishing a few shoots, I would love to know what people think and advise me on the areas I could work on.

Also what are Lists? and how do I go about getting some on my images.

Thanks,

AAG

I think you're off to an "ok" start. Not terrible, but nothing that knocks my socks off. I think you need to come out of your shell a bit. Here are my suggestions:

1. More varied poses. Too many in your port of you standing with your hands in your pockets or at your side. Try something more dynamic.

2. Better/more facial expressions. Practice in the mirror. Make sure the different expressions you make are ACTUALLY different. A lot of times a guy will think he's giving a sexy glare when he's actually got a blank stare.

3. Work with better photographers.

^Agreed. You need to get out and shoot a lot more and vary up your posing and facial expressions. Nothing in your current portfolio is inviting or dynamic, your face reads blank slate. Put some emotion, intensity or fierceness into your modeling.

There are two issues I noticed.

You tend to drop your head and slouch forward on a lot of your poses, it makes you look tired and not attractive. Bring your chest up.

Your eyes are a bit recessed and it really shows on some of your outdoor photos, it's harder to see your expression.  Looking up seems to improve that:

That is a good one, but why did they not put you in the center? looks odd, but still good! smile
