You have one good eye for beauty. Lets develop the other eye on art. You need to diversify your port. As is probably $50/hr.

Continue to do TFCD until you have good port. You do have the potential to turn pro.

I should have clarified. What I meant was you are too young at 18. You are tall and proportionate. I would like to comment on you 3 years later when you blossom more.

Awe schucks you're makin' me blush big_smile

Good genes is all wink

I average $75-$125/hr for any genre(I don't change my rates depending on if I'm nude or not)depending on length of shoot,travel,MU and hair,etc.

Thanks smile

Your hair awesome and your port is awful. If one looks at this picture https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/p … 1#25202811
for more than 5 minutes - he will literally go blind (and this is in a bad way)..

You need to work hard to create a portfolio that will take you to the next level. Until then maybe you pay couple of good photographers for your pictures!

What is gentle? It is not available outside of Texas. And I have been drinking vinegar all day.

Jokes apart - you are a competent photographer and your self portrait is your best in your core competency of all portraits. How much would you have paid a photograoher for that shot? $45/hr? Well you got your answer.

You are a very improved photographer when one compares your new pictures vis-a-vis older pictures. Please continue your TFCD work. You are doing a great service to all the models.

You mean you never considered what others think about your work? Hmm....at least your photography talents are clearer than your forum inputs. So are your talents at photoshop..MM needs more people like you. I will hire you if I wed again, definitely at my funeral. And I will pay you 100/hr. Just work on your clarity at asking questions.
