me please and thank you

A lovely, lovely face, great body... I'm thinking swimsuit, commercial, lifestyle amd later glamour... At 5'3" you'll be limited as to what will be offered when it comes to mainstream fashion. But you might send SI some shots!!:-)

Tell me, do you think that I'd fit into any other markets besides glamour?

Maybe some lifestyle?

I'm sorry to be so late on this band wagon, but I must know. I've been very confused about llamaing 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

Beautiful face, great hair, 5'9", great body... But yeah, your gonna get allot of offers from the "Eye Candy" guys, which, at your age, I'd suggest you decline. In the end though (pun intended) when you are older, glamour will be where your greatest potential will lie.

There is good work in your port, my only suggestion would be to work on posing your models in more flattering poses, allot of your shots seem to be more snapshots rather than posed photographs.

Nice work, but for a MUA's port I'd rather see before and after shots from the chair.

Posing, great! Concept/staging, great! Model selection, great! Exposure seems to be all over the place?? Some are good, some are just a tad too dark and some a bit wash-y?

This post for the above.

Yes,
I plan to become a commercial , (life-style) and art model in two years when my current work obligation is up. I also want to act  but, this isn't critiquable here.

Nice long lines, great smile, good posing skills... But I feel that you are getting a rather late start, so real potential may be hard to realize.

There's really nothing that shows any potential in your port, yet. Photography is all about the the use of light, learn everything you can about light, it has many qualities that you can use to get the end result that you want. It can be hard or soft ( specular or diffuse ). It has a range of colors that come from different sources, learn the Kelvin scale of color temperature and how it is used for white balance. Know that smaller/farther = harder shadows and that closer/bigger = softer shadows... It's all about the light and how you use it.

Wow!! 6'1" statuesque! But  your other stats will limit you to plus size modeling. There is though a growing market for plus size models, being fit and toned is still the key to modeling no matter what size one is. Actual weight means less that tone, muscle weighs more than fat.

Ahh, but that's not how the game is played!!-))

The few model pics you have are good, lighting wise, composition wise... But where I see your major potential being is in your PS skills!! I love the work in your avatar, seamless and smoothe!! Stay away from the gaussian blur skin smoothing like the bubonic plague!!!:-))) it is the tool of the devil!!:-))))) Keep shooting models too so we can get a better feel for your photography!:-)

There's really not enough good shots in your port for me to make any kind of judgement yet. Do a browse for photographers in your area and pick one that has shots you wish were you and see if you can't work something out.

With your face and build you should be doing more glamour stuff, the whole alternate thing is personally distasteful to me, but different strokes for different folks. More tattoos will limit your possibilities for allot of work.

Hi,
Thank you, however, my goals include being and "over 40-50" life-style model yet, I concur about not having started earlier....oh say like 30 years earlier!!

Had I only been able to then!!? Still, I will take it as it is now!

Thanks for the kind words,
Jen

Well, let's see, some lighting experiments, an advert layout, a couple of makeup shots... I see versatility and good technical skills, but no direction. I don't see any stories, tell us a story.
