All of your images are so similar - you're good at what you shoot, but I would like to see you branch out, whether that be different lighting, different concepts, something to challenge yourself.

Hey darlin...I'll have a go!

Good luck finding agency representation!

This is my favorite: https://modelmayhm-4.vo.llnwd.net/d1/photos/100129/08/4b630af509df4_m.jpg

But delete the other few from this shoot. You don't need more than one of the same look in your portfolio.

Delete this too:  https://modelmayhm-4.vo.llnwd.net/d1/photos/080315/03/47db8047456a8_m.jpg

It's an awkward angle, not at all flattering.

You clearly have not worked with a professional photographer yet. Your profile is very vague. If you are serious about this you need to contact photographers in your area and develop a focus for what it is you want to pursue.

You are beautiful and obviously very comfortable in your own skin. I love your nude work, though I can't post any photos here. Your profile is great too - very informative and easy to follow. You come across as very intelligent and easy-going. I can see why you have been so successful.

You've worked with Kelli so you are automatically awesome! I'm not such a big fan of your Year One work, maybe just scrap that folder completely. Your other work is stronger. I can see models going to you for potential ZED card shots.

big_smile  You're too kind.  Year One is finally gone.  Thank you for the kind words.

Simply because they are all part of one project as stated in profile ;-)
So to me I'll take it as positive.. the next project will bring something different ! LOL

Yes I have Grace. I love your headshot, it's a great avatar choice. I don't really feel qualified to critique your work, but I think you have a very professional portfolio and you are very aware of your body.

A lot of your work is very contrived and stiff, you do have some nice shots though. I know you're VIP so you have a lot of photo slots, but that doesn't mean you should just through everything up in your portfolio.

This caught my eye:

You look taller than 5'7 - that's a good thing. Do you want to do fashion or glamour? I'm getting more glamour vibes from your portfolio.

Get rid of this one - it's cheesy:

Trim your portfolio down to one shot from each look/shoot. Your avatar and this shot are your best:

Bottom row first page - 4 images that are nearly identical. Why?

Also, sometime you look very "deer in the headlights" and that suggests that you may need more experience and practice so that you are comfortable in front of the camera.

Everything looks like snapshots to me...keep plugging away. Try and focus on how the lighting and composition will add to a shot. Maybe try and plan out your next photo shoot a little more.
