I need to add a lot of new stuff, and generally plan to get back into taking pictures again more regularly, but appreciate a critique on what I have on right now. Maybe see where to focus and where to grow.

First impressions: amateur shooter
Specific  style: beauty glamor
Your Work focus: glamour erotic
Your MM Profile usefulness: could be trimmed without losing the content.
Your challenges: Inability to create a credible context that validates the genre you shoot
Paid assignments: TFP
What I like:  https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/160402/12/57001b1571834_m.jpg
Suggestions/ Bottom line/verdict:   I see some tight crops that doesn't add much to the photos. Models often look distracted or absent. I would recommend better backgrounds and model coaching and shoot with a purpose to make a difference.
Do you make my list?: No

My current MM port is not so current anymore, with virtually no traveling models out here even in these post-Covid days. And then there's the usual lack of MUAs and stylists. It could use some pruning, but please take a look. Everything in the port was done on a TF basis, quite spontaneously, solely with natural daylight, and primarily with amateur models. Thanks!

First impressions: Good work overall in your paradise, however with some caveats.
Specific  style: BW art, swimwear beauty glamour
Your Work focus: hommage to the female lifeform
Your MM Profile usefulness: convincing
Your challenges:   having the advantage of shooting in front of the very best natural backdrops in the world, gives you a distinct advantage.
Paid assignments: Yes
What I like:  https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/130330/02/5156aebc4bfcd_m.jpg
Suggestions/ Bottom line/verdict: If you want to shed some photos I would suggest you remove headless pics and below the chest cropped photos. I suggest you re-edit some good photos where all limbs and extremities are not chopped off. People would like to see the whole picture wink

I normally don't comment for MUA work, because I don't know enough to determine someone's skill level.
For the kind of work I do  I actually don't require a super MUA  because I rely on AI tools if needed and all gets 'fixed' in post.
In our era often stylists and photographers focus on natural looks.
I therefore wouldn't hire MUA unless a client ask for.

A quick glance to your updated port did not warrant to renew my opinion.
Thank you.

Just seeing this thread for the first time, somehow, in a decade (guess I should have been hanging out in the forums when there were actually more people here).  In any case, I'd love your feedback on my portfolio.

A new member here. Curious about your impression on my more amateur pictures. I aim to build a portfolio with more professional images in the future.
