Hi everyone,

I've re-activated my profile after 3 years and have added new photos from shoots I have done these past few years. I wonder if my profile shows any variety?
A problem I had when I used to use MM was my versatility, which really limited my options.

Any advice would be welcomed!

Thanks everyone!

Hello Pinks,

I love your look! I feel like your presence commands attention. IMHO you should definitely continue to pursue modeling, and I would enjoy seeing more new work from you.

There are some interesting locations in your images, the image attached below being one example. Great shot! Variety could refer to lots of different things, so I can't really address that question. Some of your images are stronger than others. I believe your port could be improved by culling some of the weaker ones.

I feel like there is a general lack of image quality across the board, both with recent additions as well as images posted a couple years back. I am wondering if possibly a cell phone was used for uploading? Or maybe you could benefit from working with more experienced photographers? I don't know. Also, I see no photographer credits. Are any of your images by MM photographers?

Just one opinion. Hope it is helpful in some way...

You're dynamic and not afraid to express emotion, but your images are low grade snap shots. This is nicely posed

..But it looks it was shot on a $10 webcam - your arm looks diseased and hair looked like it is a single mass of melted plastic. And this is arguably your best shot. Look at the boards for a major agency like Elite or Ford and learn what good port shots look like; then find someone who can shoot something similar  - eyes in focus, fashion cropped (http://blog.megandipiero.com/crop-portr … ion-flair/), no perspective problems, so weird skin diseases created by whack post processing, decent wrap if he's using flash (as opposed flat face syndrome, where faces look like they've bee hit with a frying pan because there is no 3D shading because flash was turned up too high.)

Admittedly, that's a very small minority of photographers here, but you can find them.
