Sorry, I do not rate underaged models. Actually I have problems with model mayhem allowing them access in the site. Again personal opinion.

No need to apologize, this is the critique forum and you can state your opinion whatever it may be(-:

YOu are an accomplished photographer but should charge only $50/hr fopr promotional work with models trying to build their ports (just so that get great images). Otherwise you should get $250/hr for commercial work + expenses.

I am interested as to why you think I should only charge models $50 an hour for promotional work if you think I could charge $250 an hour for commercial work?  Just to help out the models so they can get "great" images for their port?

Build a good port before you start charging. Now lets focus on getting a few TFCD with quality photographers.

Nelia:
You are a great photographer and hence 250/hr. You dont need someone like me to say that. But this site also need good photographers like you yo help models at a reduced rates. That was my suggested REASONABLE rate. Sorry if you disagree.

Pretty face, awesome figure and an awful port. You need a good port. Focus on getting a few TFCD to build your port. You have potentials.

The only thing missing in your photography is getting better angles. I would suggest a crash course will take you to the next level.

At the moment I will probably pay you $35/hr

All your models express well. Good direction on your part. Do you wanna work on your lighting a little?
TFCD at the moment until you get a more versatile port.
