It seriously rocks.
This is the weakest in your portfolio by a long way, you should delete it.

Do lots more shots in 2010 and let us all see how wonderful you are!!

This is my fav in your portfolio, its really really strong. Your expression is spot on and the photographer/make up artist did really well!!

First real model shoot.  Spur of the moment and I know my lighting was not great.  Any feedback would be appreciated.  I know I did not get back far enough but limited space wink  Thanks!!!

Hi there,
To be honest you have spot on exactly what is wrong with the images, there is some good potential there tho but you seriously need to cut back a lot of the images from this shoot and I am sure when you have a good look at them you will see which ones.  The trick is to pick only the est 1-2 per look.
This is my fav in your port

Hi there!
I would really love to see some extra images added to your portfolio. They are technically very good but I really feel that you lack creativity. Have a look through a lot more images, come up with your own ideas, make flow charts, plan a few shoots from start to finish and I would be really really interested to see what you do.
This is exceptionally good, i love it and i have listed it!
https://modelmayhm-2.vo.llnwd.net/d1/photos/100106/23/4b458c0e446a7_m.jpg
This again is technically good however I am just look at the image and NOTHING comes to me, no face its just an anon dude with a gun, not even an anon dude with a gun in a suitable environment. Looks like you wanted to shoot and had nothing to shoot wink
https://modelmayhm-2.vo.llnwd.net/d1/photos/091207/05/4b1d04d491d2a_m.jpg
Get more creative and you will be one to watch.
All the best for 2010!

Hi there smile
I really hope you take this in the constructive manner in which it is intended.
I do not feel that any of the images are strong, there is room for improvement in each one.
Watch your crops, don't cut off extremities, the creased backgrounds don't look professional, the lighting is very flat and the images are under exposed, your PS also needs some work, in image 1 particularly.
I suggest reading some photography books and studying some images.  Getting outside and working on location with natural light may be advantageous. Sorry if all this was harsh but with a few simple corrections your work would really improve.
Good luck in 2010!

This is the strongest in your portfolio:

Hi there smile
You have 6 EXTREMELY good photographs in your portfolio, this is one of them
http://modelmayhm-6.vo.llnwd.net/d1/pho … 765fb3.jpg [18+]
You have some really bad images in your portfolio too, you really need to cut your portfolio back to only the best images, if I was looking at your portfolio I would not necessarily stay around too long, sorry.
This is really bad, it does not show you well at all.

Hi there,

My fav image is not actually inside your portfolio, the image on your front page by Chris Maxwell totally blew me away and I feel kind of robbed that it is not inside your portfolio!
I feel that this is the weakest image in your portfolio.
