Hi Garry,

I don't think I have one but I think I get the idea. Is it to choose the "shot" that is killer and what it would go for?

Despite the fact that you have many beautiful models in your port - I am going to go with this capture- because it is strong , natural and relaxed .....Oh and because You are a handsome devil

and for what its worth - Have you considered commercial modelling?

I think I have said before that I am a fan of this shot

But I also like this shot very much

What I think its worth - Clearly you have the strength as an outoor art Model work with some equally talented photographers from that genre- I am probably not alone in saying that I look forward to  seeing more such collaborations

Ha ha - well thank you. "model" lol.
But, I can't take any credit for the photography (you'll notice under the image in credits it says "photographer: Not me").

After months of failing miserably at trying to take a self-portrait for social media, I actually went to one of those mall portrait studios and a kid took this using their pre-measured light and reflector distances/settings. I can't take a self portrait for the life of me.

Well, since I'm not in this for the money, I don't have one.

But I'd be interested in your opinion.  Thanks.

I think that ( even though its not in your port ) this is a very interesting shot

and it is proof positive that you are an inspiration to artists in other mediums to creat art

well I beg to differ - I think this is an interesting shot

I have to say that I am biased against gore so

I am going to choose this as your money shot as really like the textures

You have a wealth of nice photos

Hard to choose a money shot as the photos you have displayed are consistently good

but I am going to go with this as your strongest

I would have to go with this as your money shot ( I especially like how Kuna has lit this )

https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/36929631

For what its worth - I think its worth making this shot that standard to which all your work from now on should meet or exceed

Thanks so much! That one was a snapshot taken to show the painting I modelled for on display in an art gallery. I seriously wanted to stand there in the gallery nude with the same robe that I wore while posing for the artist, but the gallery director was unwilling to keep other visitors out of that area for even a few moments so I could do that.  She didn't have any problem if I wanted to do that but said I would have to deal with any complaints on my own. Since there were a couple of dozen people present I thought it best not to push my luck.

That painting was given to me by the artist after the gallery show and has been hanging on my bedroom wall ever since. My family and friends just love it, and doing that sort of art modelling has always been very empowering to me as a woman.

Ok

Since I have some Fashion show photography experience - (having shot about 1000 shows ) i would say this is your money shot

https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/35052512

as for its worth - well it shows that you can walk the catwallk - and not every pretty girl can

Aside from that though I really wonder why you dont have more creative work in your portfolio
