you have some very strong photos in your port likehttps://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/110416/15/4daa1ab71ccc9_m.jpglisted
and weak ones like https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/110315/19/4d802717dfd53_m.jpg, sweater on the beach? hmm
I am not crazy about your beach shots, they come out flat and lifeless, colors come out pale.
keep this one https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/22110284 pose and angle is great
delete this one https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/22110363 bad angle and pose=she looks chubby.
my fav and your best https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/110328/16/4d911e9ec2435_m.jpg she saves the day.
You need to work more on you outdoor compositions and lighting, do not rely on models to get the right poses. studio shots are good as far as lighting.

There is only one photo out of 4 I like, https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/110423/08/4db2f3fd780a4_m.jpg so too early to laugh.
you look cute in all of them but you need to get serious and find the right photographer/mua to come up with a good port if you are interested to be hired. wink
if not facebook is better place to hang those.

I am not so crazy about photo quality, but poses captured are really good but does not strike a chord with me.
you may want to post more high contrast bw or sepia tones in your work because color nudes are often perceived as just naked photos if the lighting is flat and low contrast.
I hope this helps. smile

Your pictures lean more to alt modeling and give an impression of a dancer rather then a model. I like this one https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/110405/17/4d9bb12f8ccd5_m.jpg but too dark to list.
Also this one is my fav https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/091005/17/4aca8b9e837b5_m.jpg
came out good and like the make up.
Remove the group pics, as it is not adding anything and weakening your port. All my best to you. Find good  photographers and do some cleaning. wink

I really like your look and smile.
Your port is full of great poses and wardrobe but they are very average or even some below average in quality.
I love your eyes in thishttps://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/110422/12/4db1d75fdaf85_m.jpg too much brushing and flat light
this is a great pose https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/22662227 +18 but whale nets makes you look cheap.
This is your best modeling port pose/picture https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/110422/12/4db1d796e367b_m.jpg listed
The feet fetish album is a kind of missing in action to me, because feet fetishism is not just pictures of body parts, you or the photographer do not have enough know how  in order to strike a chord with this niche market.
You are beautiful, you will do well in alt markets but you really need a great photographer mua and stylists to fix up your port. wink

Hello, I love what I see in your port, I like your urban style creations but the photos do not show well the details. You are right, anyone can take pictures, I love to spend time on details. For instance I love the picture of colored fishnets on the roof top https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/19470916 +18 but If my goal was to model the shoes with hosiery then I would not do it this way. I would pick colorful sheer shiny pantyhose instead.
Playful attitude of models, touching each other and spike bracelets with neon color fishnets makes this photo more erotic then to illustrate style or fashion.
Glamor with an "edge" is not an excuse to get away with "cheap" . Always remember who your audience is. I love this photo and fashion statement a lot https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/100601/19/4c05bc0752019_m.jpg but photo quality is weak.
My fav and your best photo in the bunch https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/110324/08/4d8b68db03c62_m.jpg listed.
You have great inspirations, but inexperienced photographers can break your fashion consultant stylist image in no time.
wink all my best.

Overall excellent job
few problems on your anglesin this onehttps://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/110430/21/4dbcdfd8acb47_m.jpg the gap in teeth is not flattering, I also do not like the bulge in tummy, compared to thishttps://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/080124/13/4798db01e1688_m.jpg it can be deleted as it is not adding anything to your port.
the latter is your best and listed. I also love this one https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/110314/17/4d7eae157c23c_m.jpg

This one is a eye catcher https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/110501/09/4dbd840aac6e0_m.jpg and the best because there are here lovely contrasting colors and a gorgeous model. I prefer this https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/110120/09/4d386ea95cd32_m.jpg and find it a very strong one due to high contrast and tough expression, listed.
Be careful with model poses like in this one https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/21155642 (looking wrong direction)

I love your editorial style, stylish fashion captures as well
This is your best and my fav https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/060304/21/440a5b888b8ff_m.jpg Great capture
this is https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/110320/21/4d86d320a0131_m.jpgyour second best, I find the light a bit too strong at chest neck area.Great location and wardrobe.
On indoor glamour, watch your softbox/strobe orientation to eliminate shadows
in this https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/110302/18/4d6f003e9f6c2_m.jpg the left top side strobe gives a bad hand shadow on face.
You have overall eye for beauty and love your perspectives and concepts like this https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/090614/18/4a35a644021cc_m.jpg

https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/110415/19/4da8f9769e357_m.jpga bit dark for my taste, but your work shows that you are in control and getting the right poses.
Excellent work overall. You need to work a bit more on outdoor lighting.
this is a bit flat, https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/110417/21/4dabb8d7f094e_m.jpg, I am not crazy about the shoot angle and it does not show model well.

In any case you need  quality photos to better show off your features and clean up some photos from your port. I am not sure if you posted  this https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/19647254 up side down on purpose.
Some of your photos could be perceived more artistic if their exposure wasn't so flat and colors pale. You need a good thog like yesterday.
