me too ! smile

You have a beautiful authentic look! I absolutely love it. Your gaze is phenomenal. Your photographs are also very professional which shows me you care about your presentation. I would just want to see a bit more of your personality. You nailed down the serious look, now can you do something else besides that? tongue But seriously, props on your portfolio. It's beautiful and elegant.

I like the fact that you're willing and trying, but you have got to learn a bit more about natural lighting. In your port you say that you love natural lighting, but I'm not seeing you using it very well. This is where you technique lacks. Also, if you want to be taken seriously, you need to work with some serious people. Maybe take a friend that knows the ropes of modeling, but as of right now, you also need to master lighting, which is what's making your port lack in that wow factor. Your avatar is pretty, but I think it's the only one in your port that has some sort of oomph. Best of luck! big_smile

Wow, your lighting is phenomenal. I'm really digging it. Your post work on some of the images is a bit too much for my taste, but I do like that you're playing around with different settings. I would just want to see more of your work, and also more with professional models. Cheers. smile

Sure.

Beautiful facial features. Most of your work is really impressive, but then you have some images (like your avatar) that don't do you justice. Your glamour shots are all very beautiful too, but I'd want to see more lifestyle in your port. Love it when a model shows off a bit of her vulnerable smile. smile

Well, your work is very different, no doubt about that. I see you have found a niche in anime, I believe. The costumes are pretty cool, but it's just not my cup of tea. On that note, I do see that your poses are pretty diverse, and you do happen to have good connection with the camera. I would also say to stay away from collages. They take away from an image, and just really makes the viewer just spasm a little. To be honest, I didn't know where to start.

Studio work = stupendous. Would love to see more on location stuff, but I read that you work from a studio, and that's where your niche is. What about guys? Do you not shoot guys at all? Also, as far as your avatar goes, I'm not a huge fan of it. I think the background gradient takes away from the subject. I do happen to like your variety, and how beautiful your models' poses are. I would also suggest trimming down your port. You have a beautiful port, we get it tongue

ok then

Love your serious look, but like I told you in our last critique, I'd love to see different facial expressions. Also, I'm not digging the runway images, I don't think they do much for your portfolio. Your eyes are beautiful, so I like how most images capture that. smile

Interested. Thank you

Absolutely love your work. Your top four images are by far your best work, which brings me to say that you should watch out for some of your other work because it doesn't showcase your strength, which is mostly close-ups and headshots.

I see you've updated your port. Digging it. Your avatar is beyond beautiful! Props. You definitely just need to continue building it because you have such a natural talent at just being yourself in front of a camera. Some people try too hard; you, don't even have to try at all. smile

I'm down for some hardcore critiquing!

So, some of your photos seem like they're high quality and come from good photographers. Then there are a few that seem like they were just possibly shot by a friend with a camera. To be honest, I'm much more of a fan of the photos when you don't look directly into the camera. There's something about them that just feel a lot more natural and dreamy. Also, just watch out for your poses. Like I told the critique before, there are just some models that try too hard to be models, and it sometimes come across like that in some of your photos.

Well, let's just say that your portfolio lacks in pretty much everything. If you're serious about llamaing, then you have got to hire someone for at least some good headshots.

This one is okay. Still a bit rough, but decent. Like I said, go out there and explore with a good photographer you're willing to hire.

Hey guys. This is a tip for EVERYBODY!!

I know that everybody here wants to do mostly TF, but just because you do TF does not mean you will get the quality you want/need.

If you want to be taken seriously, then do serious work with serious photographers, even if it comes to spending a bit of $$$. I'm not saying that just because I want to get paid. I've done most of my portfolio (actually, all of it) as TF because I feel it will add strength and substance to my portfolio.

Rather, I'm saying it because as a professional photographer, I want to see those willing and passionate about modeling succeed.

yes please I am new to photography besides lighting what do I need to work on?

Well, let's just say that your avatar is decent. I would recommend really learning how to use your camera and play with angles. Try not to use the flash if you don't really know how to use it, and also try not playing too much with photoshop. Some of your post work is too amateurish. On the good note, I feel like you have some good concepts going on. Props. smile

You have an amazing portfolio. Now, the thing I would focus on is making your MM visually appealing. What I mean by that, is put all horizontal pictures on one line, then all the vertical ones on another, etc. I think this is easier on the eye if someone is just previewing your work. Good stuff though. smile

Your pictures are a bit too portrait for me. Kind of reminds me of senior portraits. Maybe you want to do more commercial, and that's fine. I'd want to see more of your work.
