Hey everyone so I’m new and looking for advise and critics on my photos. I seem to be struggling with facial expressions so any tips/tricks would be appropriate.

The good news. You have a nice height, are an attractive redhead with a curvy figure that can lend itself to glamour and boudoir imagery. You also live in a gorgeous state with a lot of location shoot potential. Facial expressions will take practice on your part. What I see in your port is inexperience. Nothing wrong with that, we all start somewhere. Make a list of emotions you want to convey and spend time practicing them in front of your mirror. Every day, if possible. Your role as a model is to provide visual expression of the artistic vision. That said, expressions will also come from your rapport with the photographers you work with. One trick you might try is looking down while the photographer counts down from 3. When he or she gets to "1" look up and they take the photo at that moment. My best advice is to connect with photographers, make-up artists and hair stylists in your area for trade shoots. Come back after you have done about six photo shoots. I'd suggest getting rid of these two images. They do not sell you well.   Generally speaking, couple pics should not be in your port. Maybe keep one for now to show you interacting with another person in photos but get rid of it after a couple more shoots. And as I said before, get that email address off of your profile.

So here are my impressions on your photos  The pose: Notice how tight your upper right arm is to your body, move your elbow out so you can fit an orange or grapefruit between elbow and body, the why, if you have space your arm will look thinner, in doing so you will also move your fingers so they will show long and lovely, instead of hiding as they wrap around your body, your midsection will show your shape more. Placing your left hand down with elbow away from body a bit will show long lines {not just a dead end at bottom of your elbow, but a long line from shoulder to your hip}. Watch backgrounds, in this you have tree branches coming out the top of your head. Tighten pocket on left side of your top so it is not hanging out, safety pin or double sided tape. What look like worn places in your jeans are distracting? Shorten necklace so it is above neckline of top. [Just something to be aware of, notice how round your face looks, might be the fullness of your hair in this image]  Notice the shape of your upper right arm; it appears larger because you are supporting all the weight of your shoulder on it. [Negative bend, at elbow, see how your elbow appears to be bent forward?] Please show me all of your lovely right hand fingers in photo. Models left hand fingers look cut off due to pose. Lean forward so your shoulders are over your hips or even a bit forward, has a slimming effect at tummy. Lowering models right shoulder will allow you neck to appear long and lovely. [Notice how your face appears long in this photo due in part to hair placement]  This photo you just look washed out; your expression looks like you had a long hard day, think long lovely fingers not a fist. I wish you well Jan 17 18 04:39 pm Link New photos!! Would love to hear your thoughts! Jan 27 18 05:41 am Link |
