The only way to get better, is to keep working at those things that arent my strong suit.

Have over 600 images to edit and select from.

Initially, I would recommend trying to widen your range of expressions. It's not as if each of your expressions are all the same, but you need to consider emoting more. If a photographer isn't giving you much direction, dream up a scenario of what scene you might be in. Keep in mind that modeling is acting. Also, keep in mind your hand positioning. I recommend watching the videos by Mary Duprie, especially the one about hand positioning. She gives great advice about modeling overall.

Of all your photos, I appreciate the artistry of this shot (18+): https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/41880319

I would remove this photo. Lighting is bad, not attractive location.

Not a fan of this one either. The angle isn't very good, it's not completely centered and it's not particularly flattering.

This is a lovely shot. Straight forward and honest.

You don't really say what you want to get out of modeling. Look at work that you like and try to emulate it in some way. You are doing good work. Keep working with new photographers to expand your portfolio.
