Hi MMers,

For any of you with a few minutes on your hands, please look at my portfolio and tell me what direction I should take with my next concept/shoot.

Of course you don't have to get technical unless you want to. I just need to know what my portfolio needs (ex: bright, location, nudity, implied, blondes, fire truck falling into sink hole, etc).

I will seriously consider all suggestions.

Thank you,

Gary

Good suggestion! I've been spoiled with controlled lighting situations and dealing with the sun is an area I need work on. Thanks!

I agree.  I think some location work would be really great.  Underexpose an interesting sky or background and then light your model against it.

- Some outside stuff might be fun.
- What about interiors around the house or a motel room? Doorways and other structures are fun to riff on. (Also applies to outdoors!)

Something that plays with the level of the background's importance might be interesting to mix it up. Environmental portraits, kinda. Your port is mostly model and no/little background; maybe change the percentages up a little?
