THose damn pointy shoes... sorry I have an aversion to pointy shoes... You have so many amazing images in your portfolio! THis isn'tone of them - You look like Velma from Scooby Doo in an incredibly shrinking and tilted Library... It's not flattering nor artistic... If i were you I'd put other images from your portfolio as yer default and toss this one... it says nothing and you have a lot more potential then it is showing

First, I'd save up $ and get the rest of the shirt  - secondly... your expression looks like you are going to do an impression of Jim Breuer's "Goatboy" with a different expression, and maybe some separation between your dark outfit, and already dark background It could work, in like an Avengers superhero kinda way

LMAO, thanks

Honestly, I like this... What I would lose is the Big Hair ones, unless you want Teen Wolf Fetishists after you...that and the ear and lips... it doesnt do anything... I can understanding wanting to do funky hair shots... but it's not working... and you have so many amazing images - Hair lips ear , lose them, your portfolio ( and for the love of god, do be one of those numbnuts that says " port "  will be so much stronger

most normal one i have in my port:

you and normal don't go in the same sentence... now by saying that I dont mean that as an insult, meaning, you arent gonna find you buying mama's butt jeans at walmart... although, I would probably take you there to buy clothes for a shoot...

You have an alternative look, cue the DUH _ with that beign said... I would like to see you in " normal " clothes, your look blends in when you wear stuff that you would usually wear... I'd like to see you in more mainstream clothing, liek a 50's dress, suzy homemaker style... or  abusiness suit, as a housewife with lil kiddies around, think LaChapelle... When you have the other stuff its alternative... but be more diverse... you have potential to do some killer stuff... Take the shot you have as your avatar, and run with it

I dunno, this avatar you have now, makes me want to work with you more haha

Hahahaha, thank you for the sense of humor and the smiles.

Thank you for the compliment on the other work, some of which is published from the first shoot I did in this style.

Please and thank you.

You have a gun, and you have big hair, but what else... it's like a senior portrait gone wrong... You could pull this off, with a different environment... make a story, why do i have this big hair and what looks to be a shotgun - make it sin city or Grand Theft Auto... like a destroyed car or barren wasteland... or Mad Max(ine)

honestly, I think you look better without the Hawk... but thats just personal... if you are gonna do the hair, make it like an editorial, otherwise they just scream " hey look, its me and i have big hair "

Thank you much. Although I don't know what you mean "without the hawk". You mean styled differently than in the fan?

Wow, i thought I saw everything... then i saw your port and , well,,, i have no words... but i will try and muster a few... you managed to have 2 cliched shots right next to each other... graveyard and train tracks... You need to have more diversity other then you spewing up white stuff from whatever protein shake you had at the frat party the night before... You could do so much better, alternative may be your thing... but In my opinion you need diversity... Have a couple of GQ esque things in there other then you with wings, wait now thats 3 cliches... You can still have those kind of images... but I dunno, they just dont say anything to me othe rthen shcok value, and after that , thats it... just shock value

That bad huh??

Its not bad, it just doesnt tell a story... and when i refer to the hair,,, im referring you look so much different in the " this is what I really look like " shots , in my opinion, better...

Its nice to recieve some honesty.
I agree with the rest of your comment, just waiting for some new photos to replace them.

You have the potential for rugged stuff and you seem to be physically fit, you need to find photographers near you that can emphasize it... try some different things... break the mold of older guy with the jacket tossed behind his back...

I have only had a few photo shoots so far. I am working on having my hair styled differently for each. It's still a mohawk though. Even in my "real" pics. Just pulled back. I am actually going to pull it back in a few weeks for a shoot. Maybe you should check back then. (^_^) Thanks again.

Thank you very much!  This one was taken at my house so reshooting will be easy wife just got teeth pulled so it will be a couple days but I plan on shooting it again.  I'll let you know when I do it.  The original was just her stepping out of the shower in a towel and I was like "hey sit down for a sec and put your hands on the keys" took about 5 or 6 shots and that was the end result.  Funny how that works huh?

sometimes those are the best ones... the ones i like most is when i am testing the lighting ( which im not always doing, but i say that so they dont put the i have to pose face on, and those are the ones which i think are the keepers, as opposed to the models ) i want to see you redo it... and when you do , message me... try that technique of just grabbing her at odd moments, even if she makes a fuss... they will be the most honest images...

No im being serious... It looks like an album cover, if i saw that and you were local, id say lets collaborate

Here is mine... Thank you.

the image is something I wouldnt print... unless i moved the camera to the right more and had the bars of the crib make some statement in the way they were aligned in the frame of a cute baby in what looked to be  a cage/prison... i mean, you really cant go wrong with baby pictures, but i know you are capable of better

And this one please... Thank you so much.
jC.
Ps. Not retouching or manipulate it. It's a real photo.

It's funny, I came across this image the other day whilst surfing MM... so i saw this before you posted, I love light painting... Go with it, master it, then after awhile, drop it and do something new.... make  a series of it, I will be a fan!

I swear i spend too much time on this site, so much so, i read in the forum a long time ago the story behind this image and how she braved the cold....

my newest shot

You have a gift... the gift is elliciting emotions from your subject, whether it be real or contrived, I get a feeling of who each one of these people are, and what their attitudes and innerselves might be like... The one where the model is in the lotus position and the one of the tree above the head are my favorites, as well as the profile with the beard hanging down - id like to see you do a down to earth, mother nature , spiritual soulful series... the women with the buttshots and what not, does nothing... the angles are bad, and unflattering... the shots of the OG lookin dude, well - show him more in an environment ( if you want to go that rought look up Dave Hill ) but you are somebody I would want to shoot alongside in just to see how different are images would be whilst walking through a town or city

The colors amazinf, the racoon eyes, meh, i would have told u to lift your head upa lil bit higher to bask your face in the light more

I am not  abig fan of nudes, but you have several interesting ones... id lose the one where yer in the archway, its unflattering and makes you look wider then you are in real life, yer skinny as hell, and its not showing it... which by all conventional means doesnt have to, but you have more to you then that... add more clothed shots... and tell the photographer he has sensor dust, theres a lil speck in the bottom half of the image... the color though grabs the viewer, try a variation of poses and expressions...

Hahaha, I like you John.

That is xJezabelx ( 80136 ) from our first shoot that day, yes it snowed. My camera started to slow a bit so I kept a second set of batteries in my pants pocket to warm them.

From the second shoot that day.
