Brittany Waldron wrote: Please Hmm Nice look but I am not much impressed with your "modeling" I didn't see anything in your port that wows me. Often I saw some weird crops on head shots and body shots making impossible to assess your features or see how tall you look in photos. Most photos have distorted views due to either pincushion or barrel distortion. throw all your photos out and start over. I would also re-write your profile. There is so much unnecessary information there rather then minimum necessary info and "will" for modeling to get you hired.

Risen Phoenix Photo wrote: I can't believe I have never asked you. Would you please let me know. You are one of the few craftsmen on Mayhem who knows what they are doing. Your style varies but your work is worth a second look all the time. Your composition suggests you research and try not to reinvent the wheel especially in art nudes that are exquisite both in tones light and contrast. You direct your models well and I am sure you know how to motivate them and make justice to their body and looks. your post work and color is superb, I like interesting slants like this hair look on that unsuspecting plain nude https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/26286240 +18 listed just watch those unsightly rib cages that once an a while creep up during posing on thin models https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/31034033 +18 your work is awesome and deserves to be hung on the wall. You love your work and it shows. Good luck and continue to be an asset to many more models that would deserve someone better like you on mayhem.

This thing required 100 characters, so I figured I'd type a little bit more in here in order to take care of that. and appear to be on MM just for the "show", I thought I shouldn't waste my time either.

Bottom line: I would have had a blast shooting with you. Great job, you are doing great.

BHenz Photography wrote: Model and studio photography is a work in progress for me. I would love some feedback! Your Skill level: Medium prosumer. Must coach models better Your money shot: https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/34398165 +18 model demeanor is meh the rest is excellent. Your Creativity: You have some great concepts in your port and probably we share the same obsessions on female beauty lines. https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/26884113 +18 I should note that your lighting need some work in general and above edit would look better if it was cropped properly and no soft focus glow was applied. Your Noteworthy Technique: https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/26901139 single light source lighting, however a properly oriented reflector on this one would come in really handy. Your Work focus: Beauty Art and pinups. Some shift to surreal dark or weird noted but unconvincing for now. Profile usefulness: You will attract a lot of hobbyists. Next Step: Light framing and cropping improvements. What I like: listed, great ink. Verdict: You seem to enjoy what you do, keep shooting!.

Photo by Darryl Cobb Jr wrote: Please do mine. Your Skill level: Beginner Prosumer Your money shot: looks a bit like the Sears portrait studio work, but nice and to the point Your Creativity: Still at its infancy. Think outside of the box. Your Noteworthy Technique: Shooting people on wide open, yields nice blurs and boukeh but your framing is clumsy and often negates the effect you desire. Your Work focus: General, nothing too risqué. What I like: Your Unpretentious natural instinct and this My Dislike: reduce the saturation and chroma shift. Profile usefulness: Useful but limited to attract top cats. Next Step: Mastery of studio lights, crops and the whole nine yard. Verdict: Have fun and shoot more. You can do a lot better.

Your implied nude here https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/34605615 shows clearly your anxiety Pluses: Cute teen look Your money shot: listed What I dislike: Most of your photos are not sharp enough for my taste. Edits are clumsy and appears as rushed out. Your best: The one with the best lighting an awesome photo that could get you hired. Challenges: Many..., posing, camera presence, acting should be on your to do list. Bottom line: You will do fine given the time. Profile usefulness: Somewhat useful.

tattooed beauty wrote: Me next please First impressions: bondage, nudes, erotic and fetish well done! Amazingly gorgeous body. Your Skill level: Professional, goal oriented. Assertive. You will make any photographer shine. Pluses: Gorgeous body that doesn't need to be nude to arouse in erotic genre. Often the subject not the object of composition. Your money shot: Challenges: None, because you cater to niche markets at 41 or older doesn't matter. Tattoos in your case is a seller and never will hold you back. I wouldn't add more to though. Your Work focus: Bondage erotic but you should expand to vintage pinups as well. What I like: https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/34726313 https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/34726821 +18 expertly rigged and love the look. What to delete: https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/34456815 +18 avoid boy girl shots like this as they look tacky. Bottom line: Awesome model and capabilities. Profile usefulness: Effective and to the point. Verdict: I would have expected better quality photos on your port. As you get better shots replace those too underexposed and badly cropped, your skin looks bad too. https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/34534150 +18 https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/33000547 +18

understatementphotos wrote: Being that I only have a year of experience shooting I would very much like your feed back on my portfolio. Please let me know what you think! First impressions: Inconsistent in quality in studio work. Also some bad edits are noted. Your Skill level: Beginner prosumer. You appear to have a nice studio but unable to harness its benefits effectively. Your money shot: but cropped in a bad area. [b]Your Creativity: didn't catch anything earth shattering. Your Noteworthy Technique: Lighting and editing varies in quality from non existent to some. Crops and edits should be re evaluated. Your Work focus: Still wondering. ("pure appreciation of the unique beauty of each persons body"=shooting beautiful women?) What I like: this had a chance if it wasn't poorly edited. What to delete: among many this should be the first https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/35224927 I Profile usefulness: Wording is naive and vague. Next Step: Avoid over editing, lighting and composition need work. Verdict: You have a port with large quantity of photos with 1 caveat. Most useless to get you hired or attract TF. Delete many photos because less is more in your case.

Kjos Photography wrote: I'm up for it! When you get to it..... Thanks First impressions: Nothing earth shattering on your port. Your Skill level: Beginner prosumer Words on Technique: You need to concentrate and improve on indoor/studio lighting. Your Work focus: Generic, portraiture beauty boudoir, ineffective and flat lighted. What I like: https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/34721361 +18 VERY nice bodyscape and this but light could be better. Profile usefulness: Vague and tries but will fail to attract broad audience with shown skills. Next Step: Skills in post work, lighting in general need to be improved.

Brittney Denea wrote: Please do! First impressions: Your port has some variety but comes across as an afterthought. Your Skill level: Beginner Your money shot: Challenges: Too many redundant looks and poses in your port. Your Work focus: possibly fashion and glamor. You could pull off pinups with the right photographer, anything else in your port didn't grab my attention. What I like: is the pose and look on this but fishnets are a mismatch to your outfit and mask your ink. What to delete: I dislike those below https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/32296567 https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/34429903 give impression of sultry wife looks taken by horny hubby, useless and much to weak in quality, pose, and body language to be included. Shoot those rather in playful teasing real witty pinup style with a pro. Bottom line: Focus on what you like and replace some photos with better ones. Profile usefulness: quite useful, especially on body mods. Next Step: find better photographers if serious to show yourself in the best light. Diversify with different hair styles and make up.
