Great face and a nice frame for someone who's 5'5"!! Of course high fashion runway is out, but there's lots of other stuff out there. Like you state in your profile, I too would like to see more different makeup looks. Good potential, but it's gonna take some major marketing work on your part.

Lovely face, nicely toned body, a few more smiles would be nice!! I know that the Vogue thing to do is frown and pout, but a smile always shines through for me!!:-)) you need some swimwear shots so photographers can see that there aren't any bad tattoos... With that face though I see great potential!!:-)

There's potential there, but you haven't found the right team to bring it to the surface. There's only a couple of decent shots in your port, the makeup headshot shows potential, the blackeye shots don't.

Ok, so, lighting, composition and posing is where to begin when one is new to model photography. Books are your quickest way to useable information, Amazon has it all and check out strobist.com and go through strobist 101 and 102, there are some great experiments there. Keep shooting!,:-)

George - Yes. Looking forward to it. The move from "opportunity" shooting (events, concerts, sports) to this type of situation control for shooting is a bit of a challenge. Just being at the right place / right time is certainly different than creating the right place / right time. Thanks.

Hmmm, I don't see mainstream photography potential, your stuff is way too edgy for that! And the fashion stuff is mostly off exposure, color, pose... There are a few good ones in there, you need to study light and exposure... With the band shots, I know how hard it is shooting under stage lighting and fast action. The available light really isn't enough to get allot of good shots, I do allot of shooting at f 1.4 and ISO 6400!!

A lovely face, nice body... The tattoos will limit you when it comes to serious glamour shooters and any mainstream work.

Alas, a conundrum! I find myself at a loss for words as to where your modeling potential might lie. I think that you might be kidding yourself in some ways. I don't see a place for you in mainstream modeling, but there are, of course, other options.

I'm sorry to be so late on this band wagon, but I must know. I've been very confused about modeling with my body type. As "Little in the middle but you pack much back" applies to me and such. Also I haven't booked any professional-like shoots yet
