LOL!  No way, last time, let's just say our conversation was not pleasant.  I am not about to go down that road again, sorry.

#NoLove yet but you are a gorgeous model.  The issue is that even though the pictures are alright, I feel like you need to bring it with your clothes, hair, poses, and the photographer's just aren't that creative.  It's all just ok but you can do much better.

Sorry but I have to say #NoLove.  A lot of the images are retouched a bit too much.  The lighting is not as good as it could be except for those window ones with the natural light coming in.  Some of the models are, well, not the best, and I have issues with the overall quality of your work.  I'm not sure what lens or what camera you are using but something is off.

For example: https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/33931181

Gorgeous model but the lighting is just ok and the retouching is excessive.  She is not even sharp anymore.  The details are all lost.  The whole thing is flat and the quality is bad.  I hope you can see what I'm pointing out.  Hope this helps.

Sorry but #NoLove at the moment but I can tell that you are going in the right direction.  The issues I noticed is that sometimes your subjects are too dark, often because you are more focused on getting the background perfectly lit.  When you have no flash/lights to use to even things out, I'm not sure that's a great idea.  I would rather you let the background blow out a little so that the model isn't so dark or simply move the model to get a little more light on them even though you'll get background a bit.  Also, sometimes your focus is off or on the wrong eye.  Try to focus on the eye closest to the camera.

Lastly, details.  Sside from not being in focus, this guys teeth: https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/36021913

You should retouch them.  Not to embarrass the poor guy but i can see tartar build up.  You don't want that there.  You want his teeth to look nice and clean and not yellow.  Hope this helps.

Hi Layla.  I have to give you a #NoLove.  I do like a lot of it, and most of the photographers you have worked with are not bad, I just think you don't have that WOW image yet.  I'm sure you will soon enough.

Wasn't meant to be personal Mr. A, I jest enjoy lively dialogues based on artistic interpretations  .  .  .  we don't always havta agree  .  .  .  in fact, it's probably better that not everyone does  .  .  .  that'd be kinda boring  .  .  .  and, not very intellectually, or creatively stimulating  .  .  .  anyway, always enjoy your threads  .  .  .  much continued success in your work  .  .  .

Hi there.  At the moment it's #NoLove.  However, you are working with good photographers and your pictures are nice.  I would have loved this: https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/36364637

But you look uncomfortable.

Hi there, not yet so #NoLove.  I feel that some of your work, not sure why but it looks pixelated a bit.  Also, some of the studio lighting is a bit too dark, meaning not enough definition between the model and the background, and at times your skin retouching is a tiny bit too much.

Hi there, at the moment I'm not in love so #NoLove.  You know how to light, and you know how to compose.  The issue for me is that some of your backgrounds are distracting/busy, some of the models, their skin looks plastic, and the quality of the images is low.  I think if the quality was higher, you blurred and payed more attention to your backgrounds, and didn't retouch your images so much you would be set.  That's just my opinion though.

Hi there,
I have to say at the moment it's a #NoLove from me.  I just think that your work is a little gimmicky.  Not so much modeling but more acting.  It's as if you forget to model and go overboard with the emotion or thing you are trying to portray.  The only image of yours where the acting worked in your favor, in my opinion is this one: https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/36464169

But overall, the quality of the pictures is so so and you are not yet selling yourself as a model, specially in pictures like this one: https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/36623137

Or this one
