I am not much of a commercial photographer so I am unsure on what help I can be critique wise, but I will say this, try not to have doubles. For eg, I'd ditch the green dress with the white chair, it is no where near as nice as the other in the same dress. Also the B&W pearls portrait I would get rid of too, the colour and full length are so much nicer. Otherwise you are a good commercial model with a sweet port Thanks! Will get that done very soon

Truly sorry for the delay as I have explained before ^^ You look like a MUA that doesn't just make a face pretty but you transform it into an artwork. Your natural work is just as nice as your more avant-garde ones, which are beautifully done. I adore the blue feathers. You obviously know your trade and I think you have some great potential. Keep reaching out to amazing photogs to get your great work out there thank you for your patience.

Jessica Model wrote: Interested Hi sorry for how long this has taken. You have a lovely port there. I really love your avatar, it's a great simple image. I also love the simple cheeky half smile in the third shot, you have a little of repetition in your expression. Don't be afraid to show other faces, pull expressions that aren't safe and that take risks, that can be what makes a good model great. I think your posing is good and you have great light awareness I would just spend some time working on the faces that are more 'ugly-pretty'. Best of luck

You have some killer shots that make you look awesome and then you have some real flops that bring the level of professionalism down. Remember the same branding with your avatar, the one you have now deosnt show your face or your skills to the highest level. I would suggest approaching your local photogs and get some practice in. Best of luck

JoshuaDavisPhotography wrote: Sure, go ahead. Hi wow you have shot with one of my favorite models ^^ though I do feel like I see that blue back drop a bit much in a small port like yours. It is a gorgeous colour but you don't want to look like a one trick pony. I like your avatar choice but I like others in your collection more. Your outdoor/natural light work to me has a bit more depth than your studio, I have a soft spot for natural light and the dynamics ir creates. You obviously have a a great technical knowledge and really know how to capture a great portrait, I would maybe say take some risks in your work, it can lead to wonderful results and lessons. cheers, Ella

Dusty Rhoads wrote: Sock it to me Ok well I have to say I don't think our styles are cohesive. I am sorey to say I don't really understand your work. I find your full on lighting choices in your outdoor work a little unnecessary as you obviously had a lovely lit day. I am a little unsure of what to say as I refuse to be too negative but I just don't seem to get it and I also have to say I just am not a fan of the fantasy post edits I find the effort worth while but the results always seem a little unconvincing. Anyway I am just being honest and your style is just too far from my own to comprehend what direction you are coming from.

Personally don't like ....actually is not my thing Spaghetti all the time. I shoot what I like not the type to please. Anyone has it's own style And anyone can go with what is right to. So please feel free to share your thoughts:) HL Hi HL so sorry for my delay, as said in my edit my personal life has been a little shambles. Diversity in my books is a win, nothing is worse than feeling like you are looking at the same image on repeat. Firstly wow, your port was a very pleasant surprise! I love your B&W, stunning! and as you can see quite a few of your images made my lists. I think you hav a well trained eye and have had some skilled models. I simply adore many of your images, especially the sky scape silhouette one. My only suggestion would be look for a new display pic as that one does you very little justice and n my opinion.

You have a great face and the start of a really good portfolio there. I love your display pic and other b&w. You waterfall bikini shot is a little below the quality of the rest of your work though, I feel the photo and your pose are a little amateur, you don't want to lose that much of your arm behind your head and your feet are too far apart. I would also recommend ditching the washing basket one, it's just not a great shot (togs fault not yours). This shot is great, you have wonderful energy in it www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/35315156 All in all a good start, keep up the good work

You have amazing diversity in your look, a skilled poser and cheek bones for days! I wish you lived near me lol I adore your switches between androgynous and womanly looks and I think that is a real selling point for you. You obviously know your body well and it shows. I find nothing to critique here. Keep up the amazing work!

The natural look is needed in your port yes but as a MUA you need to show how you stand out and the amazing skills you have and girl you have them. I would make this or one of your other bigger looks your display www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/36273478 as it really shows a unique skill set. I really like your oort and think you are a good MUA you have a nice range of shots showing what you can do, well done.

I would suggest having a good critical look at your images and try and cut a few out. As a model you are good, you know your body well and have a beautiful smile. My tip would just be learn how to cut your port down

G E N I O C I T Y wrote: Would love to participate Hi Thank you so much for waiting, like I have said above i have had a few issues get in the way. Now to your images Ok you have some real winners and some that aren''t so much. Let''s do the not so much''s first so we can end on a high. Firstly I have said it to a few ppl now, collage images rarely work, especially if most of the images in that collage are similar, if you choose that layout it really needs to tell a story, have a point, not just be an easy way to fit more images in, because really it just detracts from the quality of each image in the collage. Also I have to say I am sorry but I really don''t like yout current dp(brunette on yellow wall) I find it flat and a little lifeless sorry I find it is not as dynamic as some of your other shots which are stunning in my opinion. Also I can kind of see what you were trying to achieve here https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/37571469 but to me it just doesn''t work. she needs more light on her face and the bit you can see looks over worked. Ok now the positives, looove your ballet shot, that is just wonderful, great action, amazing location and lovely angle, just low enough to get the scale of the walls but not so low you see up her dress. Gorgeous colours here too. I also adore your head shot, in fact both your shots with the red head, she is beautiful and those shots really have that life to it I find your dp is missing. Mostlu you have some lovely work I would just recommend either pucking one image from your collages or upgrading your account to get more room Cheers Ella

n a t a l i e wrote: I would love an honest opinion! Hi Natalie So sorry for the delay please forgive me have had some health and family issues. You have the start of a really good port there I like to do the lowlights first. You have some images that are coming across to me as a little amateurish, such as the red studio one and the blue jumper in front of the green trees, the red your pose just isn''t interesting enough to me sorry, you look pretty but it''s just too plain to me. The green tree one I think is just flat and you look really unhappy and bored which doesn''t suit the sunny day in the background. Also some of your poses are a little weak, try always roling to the balls of your feet to get more mucle awareness in your poses Now lets end well, I love your dp, you have a small jaw line and this image you are posing in a great way to counteract that. I really think you stand out in the flower crown duo shots and I love the profile shot of just you. Your look is adorable and very sweet and I think you have some great potential. All the best in the future. Ella

HO Photo wrote: Hit me! haha ok (Thanks so much for being so lovely and patient) You have a really nice collection of images so I am going to nit pick a little here lol Your second shot with the hair flick is great and the capture is well done however I just wish so hard you had asked your model to point her feet a little more, like barbie toes, it would have given her legs more tension and made them look a million miles long, when they are soft like they are they make her legs look shorter than they are. Speaking of short legs you have done the same with the shot in front of the mosaic wall, kinda your fault kinda the model, she is leaning against the wall and it has shortened her. Which is a shame cause I love everything else about it. Also on length watch models hands, maje sure their fingers are long and elegant not curled up (model lying back on sticks shot). The overal shot where she is half in the sun seems pointless to me and I really dont like the shot in the check skirt, not only is her hair cut off but the angle you have shot at is awkward to me. ok enough picking, good stuff, The head shot of the male model on the first row is great! Strong and sharp and the sepia works lovely. This shot https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/33493925 is amazing! The sunlight is hitting her so well and the movement of her hair is gorgeous. I also completely adore the full shot of the blue lips, so stunning and classy!! Thanks Ella
