I asked for a critique when I first joined and kinda got drug. But I've been steadily working on my port and soaking up as much info as I can. So it would be great to get some critiques now that I have some experience. Any advice on posing? I feel like I run out of positions to put my body in. Any guidance would be appreciated.

If I had not been looking at a models portfolio I would say there are 3 models, good versatility on your part

[Was that a jump, or Photoshop trick with your feet?]

I picked this photo to talk about your pose
Generally if you place the hips and or shoulders on an angle to camera [by rotating the body they will appear slimmer]
Raise chin up for a longer appearing neck
You almost have a perfect “S” curve in your spine, only suggested change would be to tilt your head to the other side [Toward your raised right shoulder]


You have a great look, I wish you well

Thank you!
That was jumping for the red tulle skirt. We got a few good ones out of that set.
Thanks for the critique.

Here is a thought - instead of concentrating on poses, why not try different outfits,  Biker Chic, Lingerie, Fashion.  Have fun with different concepts.
