what do you think? Angie:
In my book A good model = looks, expressions, attitude (you have all of these). Figure - moderately good.
Overall - an above average model who should be making above average money which should equate to $100/hr. Now tell me how far off am I to reality?

I do photography as a hobbie. But, I am curious to hear your opinion. A hobbyist - wow! Your portraits are awesome. Great conceptualization. A word of caution - you are going overboard on post production work in a few pictures!
Yes, the bottom line - you can definitely turn pro at $40/hr.

You have great potentials - you seem to understand lighting and shadows very well. Expand your horizons beyond portraits, go outdoors, take some landscapes, venture into figure photography, art etc.
Yes, you could charge money to do all that too! How about a start at $30/hr USD. Dont know Canadian equivalency!

yes please!! constructive criticism and suggestions always welcome here! Criticism is always constructive, never destructive. Anyone critics you or your work means you well, wants you to improve!
Above said, how can one rate a model who gives her vital statistics as 0-0-0? I have to say that the rate is also $0/hr or TFCD.
If you want suggestions - I would go about revamping the portfolio and work on the expressions a little.

COuld have been a lot better than my suggested price of $85/hr.

Why not, I'm interested Alexandria:
You need to build your portfolio and correct a few grammar errors on your write up. How about some TFCD work?

COuld have been a lot better than my suggested price of $85/hr. Thank you. I thought I switched the nude to yes but I guess it didnt go there. I do nudes but I don't have any recent nudes to post yet... Waiting on a photographer for pictures back.

Curious... Long legs, nice expressions, pretty face with sharp features. You have them all. Your write up borders on arrogance - dip it in honey and re-write it. You are meant to rule the ramp as well as print media. But at 33 .... might wanna go all out.
STill if I were to hire you I would pay you $100/hr.

Of the innumerable pictures you have in your port - a few do stand out. You need to weed out the bad pictures. Your post production editor needs to be fired as well.
Yes you can start charging - maybe $35/hr

I'd love to hear your thoughts! Jessie:
Some people cook, some are doctors, some are lawyers. If I try to be all of them I will not be successful in all of them. It is also important what is my niche. You are trying to be a model, a photographer and a MUA and you are being mediocre in all of them. In my mind you could be a successful model with your unconventional beauty. You could probably make buck teeth fashionable - who knows.
As a photographer TFCD is my best bet. Sorry!

He does clearly state from his first post in the thread that he isnt very talented, and these are just his opinions.
If you look at his portfolio, you will see the range of his talent, and he's not wrong. lol..
I wouldnt be too outraged if you get a poor critique from the guy.

Would like your input NIck:
I loved your B&W pictures. The out door motorcycle picture, in my mind could have been better.
For portraits you should charge $35/hr. For rest $25/hr.
