We have all these threads offering critique just die down after the OP gets tired. What about giving a critique of your own, then the next person can give their critique of you, and so on and so forth.

(I'll just back in after the first page to give a critique so I'm not getting out of it..)

So, with that, critique the port of the last person that has posted.

Go!

Tons of diversity among images and pose.  The dog image would be cool without the background.  And the beach image could definitely be better.  There are so many bikini beach images out there this one seems kinda flat and voyeuristic . Also the tree image seems a step down from everything else in your port. You do have an amazing look and great range!  This is all coming from someone fairly new to models..

Your images are perfect! Too perfect in fact that they lose some of those qualities that humanizes images. What you do, and how you do it, technically, I can't fault. Artistically, I would prefer that you keep a connection with people, and make your subject look less artificial.

Try looking at your own photos for more then 20 sec... see what happens, it-s a good test to see if you image is good or not. On the internet, our view of photography can be distorted. Color looks good so we exaggerate the image contrast. But just try looking at you photo for more then 20 sec

Thank you Katie.

You have a lot of potential and there is nothing wrong with your modeling. However, I think you really need to start collaborating with photographers who have more imagination. A good process if when checking out the work of a photographer, see if their port is full of cliche' shoots; railroad tracks, bikinis and sports cars, bad pin-up, etc.. Otherwise, you'll end up with photos that look like 1001 other photos. Good luck!
