Here, like this, cut everything else, and BAM! you have a killer portfolio.

Thanks for looking over my port.  You really do mean to the bone.   
I agree that half my pictures need to go but do I really need to cut these?

Thanks for the feedback!!  I try to spend as much time as I can, but I have to go pretty quick, it helps me to know what you guys think, and let me know if I missed something.

they are both good, I thought about those two but:
the first one the eyes are blurry/milky looking and no catch light. it's too bad there is not more detail in the skin like I can see on the shoulders. OR crop a bit closer and burn out the shoulders,  it's a great concept, how much post work did you do? 
Second. it doesn't fit in the the rest of the images. Show those type of images you want to shoot more of.
good portfolio! Let me know when you update it.

I had another look through, and I like her expression more this time, and you did a good job. uncut : )

Great shot! I like the french tilt. could you put your water mark on the lower half?, it's distracting. Also it's a tiny thing but the little black spot at the on the lower left edge catches the eye, I'd PS it out.


I was going to tell you cut this when I looked at the thumbnails, but seeing it full screen, it works. good one!


really good shot! good model, knows how to look.


her expression, cut, got any others?


same, her expression, cut, got any others?

Me please

you should use this for your avatar, by far your best shot.


this could work, but the crop is off. look at body croping guides.


keep this for now.


cut the rest.  I know it's hard, but having only a few great shots is better.  I only have 4 good model shots I can show right now, I'm trying to arrange a studio for shoots for next month.

cut, shooting in full daylight is hard.. take practice and learning about light.

Dennis Zeitz wrote:

Great shot. who took this? see if they will take more.. and cut everything else.
If I saw this one shot I would hire you, if I saw the others I wouldn't, you need a photog who can get the best out of you.


try a search in your area for photogs who TF and pick a good one, a quick seach turned up these as possible:

cut, your hand makes your neck looks odd.

Well thank you for the Advice and I took the photo myself when I had my camera

best shot


good shot but bad crop. give her room to breath, too much empty space on left, need more on right.


good job, nice light balance. you picked the right time of day, but using on camera flash means the light on her is flat. get a TTL flash cable, about $35 on ebay.



cut, they both look mad and awkward,  see if you can find about 5 more to cut.

wow, get a camera again. what did you think of the photog links I sent?

If I had the money I would... And I message the first one the 2nd one hasn't logged on since 2011

practice with any cam, even cell phone.  You might have to pay a photog to get the shots you need. it looks like there aren't many TF in your town,  but I did that search for Compensation set to "TF" but lots of others photog put any, but still do TF. so try other searches.  also make it clear that you will show up and are reliable, because that can be a big problem.   

watch this, a good camera is not important:

I'd like to hear your opinion on my port, I'm looking to cut some since I've got some of new (I think better ones) waiting..

great shot, was there something wrong with the color that you made this B&W?


good!


whats up with these crops? people need headspace,and more space on the direction they are looking.




I see you love cutting off peoples hands, cut or re-crop any hand cuts.


here's a useful guide

I hope that helps, let me know when the new shots are up.

very good port.

girl on train track is done so often, but I think you nailed it.  your hand is cut off, but whatever : ) I guess cropping into a square would fix it.


great smile! this would have been one of your best, if it was in focus, and there was a catchlight in your eyes. Your foot is cut off, your leg leading to the corner lead your eye out of the photo. you did your part, but the photog let you down.


if you're in profile don't try to look at the camera, look off to the horizion. cut


cut, the highlights are burned out, not sure about your expression.

Search for  a good photographer with a proper studio and pay them to get the kind of shots you want.  then don't do TF for just anyone who asks, look for good photogs that will help you build a portfolio.

Skipped

oops, sorry!
I think you have potential but you've got to find better photogs. sometimes when you do TF you get what you pay for. spend some time searching or pay a top shooter to get something really good.  also work on expressions, practice with self portraits and any cam or cellphone. 

ok, but could be so much better.  there's a lot more too it that just pressing the button.

Awesome portfolio! professional and great expressions. Love it!
How many James Bond jokes do you get?

Killer shot, I saw that in a magazine.



If you want to updated it, you could cut these and put in the shot of you sitting on the grass in the black dress, and the one on the leather coutch with plaid shirt. they are so much better.

I'm not a good choice to cirtique this type of work because I don't know anything about it, but these stand out as your best to me.  what's up with the chainsaw?

I can see how much you've improved at getting the best out of the models!, it's all great until I got to the bottom.

Thank you very much for you critique and for the link.

1st photo:
Thank you! I just really love black and white and I thought my port could use a nice B&W. No big reason apart from that.

2nd photo:
Thanks! I was actually considering scrapping this one, now I'm a bit in doubt, lol!
Good to get your opinion! 

3/4rd photo:
I totally agree with looking direction in most cases, in these shots it was a conscious decision to ignore it though. But could well be it didn't work out as well as I imagined. Thanks for the feedback!

5th photo:
Lol, it's not because of a big love for hand amputation but I agree it's cropped wrong. It's the fast movement of the model that made it a bit hard to get it right, but I should have just zoomed back more and cropped after taking the shot.
But in all honesty even without the movement I have made shots where there cropping wasn't spot on and the link you posted is really nice and clear! Thanks!!

Even though I admit I am not always great at getting criticism, it's really useful so I appreciate it. Thanks for taking the time!
A lot of these shots need to get scrapped soon to make room for new the ones, so I'll take this in account.
Two new shots are/where up, more soon.

thank you, for taking the time to comment!
