You said be honest so here it is; I think you are beautiful. You look great in cloths. However the port pictures themselves are a little bland. They don't look very exciting. A little more dramatic lighting and/or makeup could do you more justice.

Only good comments only don't help us.

Happy Holidays to you and yours! :)

Hi

I love your port! It's so beautiful! I'm looking for models who want to shoot Zivity sets at South Padre Island for Spring Break. Message or Email me. [email protected]

Thanks for stopping by. I like your enthusiasm. To answer your questions a) when I shoot a lolita theme, nothing just "sometimes all come together" by pure luck as you put it. I make it to make it happen each and every time with attention to details. Yes model's ink is permanent. b) the retouch demo was to show that although I don't like to heavily plastify faces like some photographers do and take pride of it, I am indeed capable but rarely do it unless asked by clients. c) chubby models can be sexy, I coach all pinup poses, and looks, face expressions. I rarely let models give me their expressions. For other photographers that can be sufficient, but not for me.
Thanks for spending time on my port with your through analysis, thoughtful comments, I appreciate it. I wish you were close. I would enjoy to craft something creative together. At some point, looks can be synthesized, but to put a soul in it I need to be inspired by the model's personality.
