If I may say, your body is pretty much perfect. HUGE wow factor!! I like your nudes because they are different. Gritty. Moody almost. I would like to see more because you do such a great job.

The only thing I didn't care for is there are too many 2 piece lingerie type shots. They seem to be redundant. Take your best 2 or 3, put them in opposite spots on your port and they won't detract so much.

Once last thing. i LOVE your eyes. They are exotic, moody and mysterious. I could do just a shoot with your eyes. Use them. They can be a selling point.

Good luck and thanks for stopping by!

Thanks so much!! I will keep these things in mind & try to use them to my advantage. ^_^

You have several things going in your port.

I like the classy B/w shots in the upper third. You inspire me with those.

I like the editorial type feel in the middle third. Nice quality and looks like your shot hot.......is that correct?

the bottom third......hmmm, while I very much like your painting, I am not sure that this is the proper place for it. The paintings almost seem to tip the psyche of your port way off its axis.

Have you thought of starting a different port just for your paintings? I would like to see more of them too

THank you very much for looking though my port. That is probably one of the better crits that I have gotten on MM. Usually my stuff is off the beaten path for most people lol. I am not familiar with the term shot hot.
I never thought about making a seperate page for my art, that might be something worth trying.
Thanks again

I was so much enjoying your port. Scrolling down. Excellent llamas, love the tones of the B/W and sepia, great angles. and then I see




color


yes........color


I am sure you know all too well that color gives off a totally different mood and perception than mono

I just felt like my photo high was broken by an injection of narcan. bummer

So, the only thing I would perhaps suggest is having one port for the b/w mono shots and another for the colored shots. Just a suggestion because you are amazing at both!!!

You are without a doubt one of the foremost nude models on MM. You have a large WOW factor and your versatility is fabulous. The art nudes I believe are the ones I like best. I can easily see some of your work in an art gallery.

Keep it up!!

Thank you! smile

I really did not see anything I totally disliked. your work is very clean and of extremely high quality. Wish I could do as well. If I have to reach a small bit, I don't care for these as much:

18+
https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/p … 5#30376565
the lines are not as clear as the photo besides it.....which is better

https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/p … 2#25118882
just doesn't pop like the rest of your work

https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/p … 7#28364537
in most photographer's port this would be no problem. But you have some much fabulous work that anything that falls just below the line of fabulous sticks out like a sore thumb

Even though you do great work and equally great quality, most of your work looks all the same. Is that what you are shooting for?

I like most of your photos, but a few not as much. i think you need to use your strengths just a bit more and you will be a 100% WOW model!

Stark. That word come to mind as I scroll down your port. But.....that is not bad or good. it is what you do with it.

Really like the first 3 rows. You do an excellent job  with the rule of thirds. I like. A lot.

the next 642 rows, not so much. They really look all the same. My critique is to say that while you have some great work, it gets buried in the sheer numbers. I because calusse to the fab areworks because there were so many works. I think your port would be much stronger by severely reducing it.

You have some fabulous works, and some that are not. Your body is amazing! Use it like you have in some of your shots as you can make some stunning art.

up front I will tell you that I don't care for collages. The pics in them are smaller, and therefore I usually skip them. And I did so in your port to.

But of the works that are not collages I saw fab posing and great confidence. Like your versatility.

Yeah, I know. The problem is that I will reduce it radically, and three weeks later it's back to 642 rows of photos.

I very much like that you have different types of work. You look very presentable yet very approachable all at the same time. This is to your credit. There are a couple shots that I didn't care for as much, but overall a good port.

Here is my one advice to you. you are in a pretty well populated area. Find a photographer that has a totally different style than you are used to....or even comfortable with. Let your creativity as a model and artist be expanded. have fun with all you do and thanks for stopping by!!

yes, I remember you Jen. You used to be in Chicago.....right?
First of all, I LOVE your body!!!!! It was built for sensuality and art. And while I see some of that in your port you can do soooooo much more. Expand your art side and seek out your creativity. I sincerely believe that you can make art with your body and with light and with shadows that people will want to hang on their wall!!

Yin, first of all your beauty is amazing. I almost see an inner struggle with you in which you are not sure to show that amazing headshot beauty that you have or should you go the art/creative path. You do fabulous with both, but at time I sense a bit of a struggle.

I see no shots that I do not like, but there are a few that I am not wild about. Also, at the bottom of your port the shots seem to have the same flavor and look. Gets a bit redundant for my taste. Ok, on to the ones I am not as wild about:

(some may be 18+)
https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/29627211
https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/29597161
actually that whole row

https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/30468289
https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/29763651
you have already shown that you can do some great art nudes and this isn't one of them

https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/29520592
same reason as above

https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/29764720
https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/29526575
https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/30113537

I could toss in a couple more but you get the idea. My point is.....your beauty is amazing. You have some photos in your port that take your look to the next level. If think if you stay with those type of photo you can not only have an extremely strong port, but also demand some top $$

I like the stark and gritty and almost 1950's feel to your port. I like that and I wish I had enough guts to do that. The only thing I would urge is stay with your creativity. You have some creative shots that I LOVE, and then you go back into portrait mode. Stay with the creative. That is what will make you a top notch photographer on MM and make people like me sooo envious of you!
