Hey all! I am in a good mood today and I feel like giving some critiques! Now, I am not an advanced professional or anything, but an opinion is an opinion. So is there a question you would like to be answered? Ask me! And in addition, each one will get a congratulatory song (the one that happens to be on my playlist while I am looking at your port, so it could be anything....) Aaaand, ready! set! Go! Edit: Oh, and NO judging of my music taste! Its mine and I like it! hehe

Actually this would be my critique: there are too many photos and my attention kind of goes hayware looking around. I would also suggets maybe shooting some male models?They seem to lack in your port. And the song that came on my playlist while I was going through your port is Robbie Williams- Tripping Enjoy!

This would be my favourite photo, because of the smile and jsut the general expression on your face. Therefore, I would suggest that you put up some more smiling photos. They look good! This would be my least favourite. It just seems a bit fuzzy and out of focus and I find this distracting. Keep up the good work and go on smiling. And the song that came on my playlist was Pussycat Dolls- Buttons so enjoy it.

ColdPiece Photography wrote: Id love to hear ur thoughts Hi there. Again, a very nice port. I loved lots of shots. For example, my favourites would be this shot and also all of the black and white folder: You seem to be a nice person to work with. I would maybe suggest choosing on another avatar. This is a good photo, but it doesn't catch my attention as the one I linked above for example. Also, I am not really a fan of big series shots. I jsut find them very distracting. And my playlist gave you this song: Nelly Furtado- On the radio

You obviously concentrate on nude work and you have some great shots. However, I would suggets to maybe put a bit more color in there. I mean, its interesting like this as well, but its too much black&white for my taste. Also about half of the photos are quite similar, with the model standing in front of the wall in different poses. Try different backgrounds. The shot that you giv in your post is nice, but it doesn't blow my mind away. There is just something about the pose that seems a bit forced to me. Also the rug on the floor is distracting. This would be my favourite image from your port. It just is...wild. I like its feeling. https://www.modelmayhem.com/pic.php?pic … up_id=&ua= Keep up the good work and what I would suggest is adding some color and some new backgrounds. The song that my playlist gives you is Lily Allen- LDN

Tatiana Paris wrote: I know this sounds like a silly question but what should be my avatar? Hey! Its not a stupid question at all. The avatar is quite important since it is usually one of the first things that makes people in forum go to check out your port. Thats whyit should be an eye-catcher. Your current avatr is not really good for that purpose, since it involves two shots, none of which are clear and when it is that small, it doesn't really attract attention. You've got some awesome shots.Much better than the one in you avatar. I would choose this one, because you can really see your face here and the make up and hair are awesome. or because it just has the clickability factor and a great idea. My playlist gives you Alicia Keys feat. The White Stripes- Another way to die This technically makes you a Bond Girl. haha:)

If you were to choose something else, I would suggest this Just because it concentrates on your face and the composition and the accent on your eyes is very nice.

Talissa Bolitho wrote: go for it Hi there! First, I believe your profile is a bit lengthy. I would consider shortening it a bit. Its good that you mention a lot about yourself and that you also mention themes you want to work in, but I think there is some irrelevant information- like the place yous tudy for example. Not only it is not really safe to put such detailed information, but I don't really think this is of interest to photographers. So my first suggestion would be to make your profile a bit shorter. Now on to the port...You don't really have much photos so I am guessing you are fairly new in modelling or maybe you just haven't uploaded most of the work you have. https://www.modelmayhem.com/pic.php?pic … up_id=&ua= This photo is awesome and sexy, however, I don't think it really does much for you as a model. It would be more of a photographer's port photo. Meaning, that a model should show her face. That would be the most important part. And even though the photo is great, this could be anyone. This would be the best shot in your port for me. I like the hair styling and the whole look. So my advice would be to diversify your port. Try different styles, different looks. My playlist gives you David Guetta feat. Kelly Rowland- When love takes over so enjoy!

I've critiqued you before, I remember lots of your shots.I can't really decide on a favourite. there are so many great ones...You've got a great look and you seem to be a very easy-going and fun person to work with. From all, my least favourite would probably be this Just because its too much light and I can't really see you that clearly. Otherwise, its a beautiful shot. But really..I don't have anything to critique on. You are awesomness. And my playlist gives you Cobra Starship- Good Girl Go bad

Doesn't have to be much, but jsut mention briefly who you are, what your goals are etc. I think it gives a better look to your whole profile. You have some very nice photos, and when I look at your port, on my first glance this is the photo that immediately catches my attention I like the colors and the emotion. So this would be the photo that stands out as better than the others. My playlist gives you Amy Macdonald- Let's start a band

SFG Photographs wrote: ohh seems fun. Have a go at me? Hello! On first glance, your profile. Again, its a bit lengthy for me. I would consider shortening it a bit and removing info, such as the location of your boyfriend for example. I don't think photographers would be interested in that. Simply say "I am available in this and this area, contact me for specific dates". Also, I would put all the links that you have provided to additional websites, in the end of your introduction. But that's just me. Now on the port... I see some very nice shots. This would be my favourite. The idea is awesome! I don't really like this one. I mean, I like the idea, but I don't like how the bubbles are blurred and just the model's face seems...funny to me. Also about this photo... Its a nice one, but the style if totally different from the other ones in your port. I would either include 1-2 more similar style shots or just remove it. At least to me, it doesn't really have a place there. Other than that, keep up the good work! The first word that popped into my mind when I opened your port was "Colorful!". So do colorful stuff! My playlist decided that you will have Jem- 24 hours I Love that song so enjoy it!
