Hey everyone! Just wanted to update you and thank you once again for your suggestions.

Carrying over from previous thread:
https://www.modelmayhem.com/forums/post/971329

I did score a few photos and the BEST NEWS OF ALL -  I made it to the TOP TEN of the Miss Jetset 2018 Magazine Cover contest. I will be featured in a half page spread and I am BEYOND  excited.

I am in the process of lining up a photograher who will also be featured in the magazine.

Also, please check out my new pics and ONCE AGAIN, feel free to offer criticism or praise if you have any! lol

Happy Sunday
Ashley

Sorry, but I'm not seeing anything other than the same overly edited snapshots and selfies from Your last portfolio review.

Dump the rest. replace with better photos. It shouldn't be difficult.

OP, I remember your original thread, and people there suggested (implored/begged) you to edit down your port and get some photos taken by anyone with a real camera, instead of the over processed cellphone selfies that you're posting. If you're wondering if we can tell they're cell phone selfies, we can.

Save the selfies for Instagram.

But then again, perhaps building a legitimate portfolio or getting honest critique isn't your goal. Perhaps it just to post advertising to get people to vote for you in another one of those contests.

Maybe it's me and not my photos.

Thank you for your time and suggestions.

and for the record, Miss Jetset is the ONLY contest I have ever entered and I did place Top Ten out of over 100,000 contestants so I was kind of proud of that. I also get a spread in their magazine.

Yes, you are trying!

No, it's not just you. You are gorgeous but you need to work on different poses and different expressions.

You need better photographers who will get you out of direct sun and properly light your face in a variety of locations.

Lovely:

Your face is not in focus:

You have toned down your eye makeup:

This is a laugh more than a smile. Good work:

Your smile is toned down a bit. I like this:

Cut the number down to 4-8 of your best images. At the moment there are too many of too poor quality and it really distracts from you as a model. Good luck. JT.

Eeeks...your photographs are incredibly poor quality. You are ten times prettier than the photography is portraying. I'm not going to dive into how poor this photography is because the photographer isn't asking for a critique, but you need to find an experience photographer. I would think you would be able to find a photographer to do some trade work or pay an established photographer to create some outstanding photos.

Remove these photos ASAP. I understand the temptation to have Photoshopped figure, but these are obviously altered, which goes against what you are trying to achieve.

It's definitely not you, it's the photography.

Based on what I can tell the photographer is the OP.   They all have the same look and similar angel and seem like from a cell phone with filters used.
