good job
my God https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/110606/06/4decd748f008a_m.jpg you pulled this off so well, only you should get paid for this.
You do good job but, hey, you are supposed to.
We are mere mortal photographers. Just like some models would make any thog look good, some retouchers also make any thog look good.
Keep up the good work.

you have a fabulous look
This is the most dramatic sepia shothttps://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/110611/20/4df43357e0130_m.jpg listed
not so many photos but what you have is enough
https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/110422/17/4db21a4c4e923_m.jpg
absolutely drop dead gorgeous figure https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/110422/17/4db21a9c5f188_m.jpg
this https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/23459073 is not much strong, flat light and low contrast. Love your ink but don't add no more.
keep it up.
stunning look.

Nice creative work. I will just point to this https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/110605/20/4dec467dd3a98_m.jpg as best and skip the boring seamless paper shots
Love the latex fetishwear stuff you got in your port
like https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/110506/17/4dc48d1d72897_m.jpglisted
this is nice too https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/110422/18/4db224f15eaa4_m.jpg but not as strong as the first one.
your lighting is very good
as shown here https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/21123149
this is the best of all the seated naked ladies https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/23093051 smile
you are doing great, just be careful in framing and sweet spots.
also some light in outdoors is weak like in this https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/22876689
keep clicking, great ideas and eye for beauty wink

Hello sarah,
nice varied looks but you are currently unable to break away from the (gorgeous) girl next door type. Except in this https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/110516/21/4dd1f94a7ae8b_m.jpg very glamorous, my fav and your best look, listed.
Another great one https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/110516/23/4dd210049f2de_m.jpg listed, super mood here and lighting.
Pay attention to your angles and loose high waist garments, they will make you look fat. e.g. https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/23047099
don't like much the photo https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/100207/16/4b6f5ad7c5a95_m.jpg but you look gorgeous in this, super teasy.
Love your look. Some shots could do better in face book or myspace

Lovely port, not earth shattering but it will do the job smile at least to start something rolling.
I listed thishttps://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/110525/23/4dddf3b017f62_m.jpg because I like this playful gaze down on your shoulder.
Your ink is nice, don't overdo it if you do not want to slide suddenly to the alt model type.
lovely figure and this is a sure eye catcher https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/110525/23/4dddf3df7d3ef_m.jpg but I prefer this angle https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/110525/23/4dddf404396c3_m.jpg, beautiful shot.
Your portraits are weak because the light is failing to create the intended mood.
https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/23393440
https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/23393514
your expressions are boring.
I love your urban beauty looks better.
again high cut waist dresses posed in front of dull backgrounds will show you fat.
https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/110507/22/4dc62a68dac89_m.jpgcan be removed.
seating and fold back positions will suffer of the same fate like this https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/110507/22/4dc629f4dda2f_m.jpg
I love this one https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/110507/22/4dc62aff9e9c5_m.jpg nonchalent, sexy pose.
Work on face expressions, show personality and attitude, do not settle down as the nice girl next door.
You need to watch your angles. wink lovely sexy look.
Add sophisticated boudoir pictures, in vintage foundations and hair make up styles.
You can be transformed into a femme fatale with little effort.

Are you doing only photos on MM or a more expansive view ?

Please try mine ! And if you want to go further you are welcome
to check out my website at http://www.altamashurooj.com

as it's not updated, another place where I upload photos is my fb fanpage at http://facebook.com/altamashurooj

looking forward to it ! smile

You are in Dubai huh wink good for you  smile
for me just doing the MM is already a colossal task.
anyway let's get started, this is an eye catcherhttps://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/100624/02/4c23248d305e7_m.jpggorgeous fashion shot.
you don't have too many pics but perhaps less is more, I see talent and creativity.
Some of your lighting is too abstract for me.
Other then this https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/110521/13/4dd81dae3258d_m.jpg kind of contrast and light and the one above, I am not much interested in anything else in your port.
Keep it up, you may want to add some regional ethnic garbed fashion shoots.
That would show versatility and cater to more tastes.

Hello Nadine

you are gorgeous and the first eye catcher https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/110524/20/4ddc7d9114d08_m.jpg but I am not sure what is the fascination with the umbrella. It takes focus away from you.
this is a strong concept https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/110524/20/4ddc7df21b6b9_m.jpg great mood but I am not happy with the light.
in this https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/110607/05/4dee1df260fcf_m.jpg please avoid Deer in headlights posture and eye contact with camera smile
in this https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/110607/16/4deead8e4d15a_m.jpg nice BW but you are absent, look a bit bored.
Oh you see this https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/110607/15/4deead4c96b00_m.jpg a lot better smile
in this https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/110607/16/4deeada87256b_m.jpg you look lovely but the image failed. Miss details low contrast and suffers of flat light.
This is soo spookyhttps://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/110524/21/4ddc81d9b75be_m.jpg listing in my goose bump list.
I love your generous curves.
your outdoor shoots are weak. Try to pose with more attitude, be the subject, not the part of the landscape.
but you are very beautiful, and you will do just fine. wink

Ashley, you seem to be a bubbly fun person
I love this tease very much https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/23454241 listed.

I like your glamour boudoirs and I love this, the best https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/090815/12/4a87068cb8e68_m.jpg

the other one https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/13772910
you should remove
why because the elastic stocking tops is squeezing and bulging your thighs
not a good sight to see. also the shoot angle makes you look fat.

this one also can be deleted https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/23442821 shows you big
keep it up, try some fashion shoots to expand the port.
this https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/110607/19/4deedbb631669_m.jpgshould be air brushed or liquified or whatever
this not bad https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/090522/14/4a1714b18a9ab_m.jpg but can hardly see that earth shattering make up as stipulated big_smile
this is your best lookhttps://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/090522/14/4a171641d98ca_m.jpg too small to list and light is uniform.

You look gorgeous but cherry pick your photographers.

and this https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/110102/20/4d214c5030f98_m.jpg my fav.
I am sure you are doing great with gore goth and fetish genres
gorgeous port catering to some limited markets.

Thank you for that. smile
My ink is definitely busy-looking, but that's mostly because it's not done, I think.

Nothing to list
besides you don't need advice
you say in your profile
3 simple things:
I don't shoot nude. (yes, I do implied.)
I may bring an escort.
I do not pay photographers.
