Hi, I have changed some photos in my portfolio and would love some feedback. What should I show, what not to show... am I getting a good variation of looks, etc.
Thanks in advance for all your help. I would love to hear from photogs and models, too. Also, am I doing OK with clothes or should I do something different?
Thanks,
Kiera

Still hoping for some comments on my portfolio. Is there something missing or something you just wouldn't show at all?
Thanks,
Kiera

I think you have an awesome portfolio!  But you knew that already!  For all the photographers out there, you need to book Kiera!  She is awesome to work with and very professional!  You are missing out if you dont hire her!

I guess your portfolio is great for GWC's.  It could probably use tightening for glamour.   I think you're a pretty girl and would like to see shots of you that are more purposeful.

Kiera, first off you're a beautiful young lady.  I assume you know that.  As to your posted pics:  you appear to have plenty of glam/fantasy sex kitten images.  Not sure if this is how you see yourself or how others see you.  Try different looks/styles that speak to you, not another's vision.  I'd love to see some b/w photos of the fresh faced mid-westerner for a little variety.  You have soft features, that's a given.  Little or no make-up and a hard edge might shake things up a little as well.

You might want to check out photographers in your area whose work is different than what you're currently doing and speaks to you.  If they'll do TFP/CD I say give it a shot.  "Variety is the spice of life."

Best to you.

Thanks so much for the comments guys. I will certainly take all this in. AND, I agree. I need to switch up a lot.

Dear Kiera,

This was my fave shot in your site.

It is a tight shot that is sensual because of the hair on your face. I would put a few more like this one with dramatic lighting. I like the last photo where you are pulling down(as oposed to most models pulling up!) your top and you are wearing jeans. I am guessing that in Wichita, besides airplanes you may have farms and barns. I would be phootgraphed there in an old barn. And no bikinis. You want to look different from most of the folks of MM. Wear jeans, go topless or whatever. A sophisticated farm girl is my cup of tea.

What else can you do? Pack up some outfits and take a trip out here to Cali to work with me and some other photogs smile You are beautiful and the portfolio is pretty good, let me know if you ever get out here to the west coast.

Kiera,
Your portfolio is awesome and you have a great variation of looks! Model photos that tease are alot more appealing to the general public than photos that show everything...so you got it going on girl! Really enjoyed taking a look at your pictures..you are a doll! wink

Thanks again and again. I think what I'm seeing here is "get out of Kansas"????? I know that is too true. I'm planning on doing that as soon as I can put together a good plan.
