I'll let you know what would come to mind if I were considering a shoot with you after you contacted me. Looks count, but looks are not everything.

I shoot implied and sometimes nude, so please include the word "implied", "both", or "something else" to indicate what kind of work you'd like me to consider for you. If not, I'll assume you haven't read this.

I will be blunt because these are my thoughts as they occur, so the squeamish need not apply!

Your face has a nice look, a huge plus. But no measurements - chest, waist, hips - which indicates to me that someone is not as serious, or very new. That's a critical piece of information all models should include, and an annoyance to me that MM no longer enforces that. At 120 lbs and 5'3, the weight needs to be distributed just right to pull off my style of artistic implied nudes.

In some photos you look slim, you look larger. I'd really love to see a full body shot that's not obscured by so much loose clothing.

Your modeling goals are consistent with your height, profile reads well, just missing stats.

Headnote: You were willing to fly out to California to shoot with me? I don't recall that.... and if that were the case, I'd had given priority as per my profile unless it was a long time ago. Anyway, not to digress...

---

First impression from images in profile is the face doesn't have as much bone structure as I'd like to see, but it could be the MU. I'll pretend you contacted me first, because I'd never contact a model who says paid assignments only, doesn't do nudity. I'd question why you want implied nudes though, and whether you'd use the work.

But then I read further, and you recognize your limitations, perhaps even being a harsher judge than warranted.

And when I open the port, surprise! A delightful set of wonderfully done images, ranging from bizarre to fashion. Everything is tasteful, creative, imaginative. Some from photographers I greatly admire.

I'd look at your age and immediately rule you out for 2 reasons: you're out of state, and too young to participate in shoots like mine. So I'll have to pretend either (i) that you're requesting a non-implied shoot and that you're local, or (ii) that you contacted me when you're 18.

Hmmm, too much to speculate on in either situation. I'd question why you'd want to shoot with me, because my work isn't age appropriate for you. Also, what would your parents think. And what would I shoot?

Rating: Promising, but would want to wait until you're 18

I don't shoot male models, so I'd be especially harsh on it because it would take an incredibly strong male model for me to want to shoot with them. So I'd take a look at the port. Port's underdeveloped, some self pics and unprofessional snaps, and you've been on MM long enough to have more professional ones.
