Back in September I did a critique and I followed advice . I got rid of all the cell phone pics and did several tfp through here

I didn't see your first post, but it's awesome you heeded advice and got rid of whatever selfies you had. You are actually very pretty and have an engaging demeanor, I'm particularly taken with how you portrayed in the following:

Unfortunately, I don't like the photography all that much (a mix of bad crops, terrible backgrounds, boring lighting), and your posing is stiff. I do believe a better photographer and good direction could easily bring out some amazing images.

Few people agree with me but I'm of the school of thought that you should really only keep the one best photo from any given shoot, although I realize that starting out you don't have much to choose from.

You mentioned having started to TFP which is great, but you may want to reach out to high-quality photographers who may be more willing to trade for artistic nudes (which does not mean other genres are out of the question, after all, such trades are meant to benefit both portfolios).

Best of luck, looking forward to seeing your future updates.

Hey!  I just looked at your earlier post, and I was one of the commenters!  (I wasn't very useful, however; I think I just didn't have anything to add.  However, you must've improved.  You have some reasonable stuff.  This is my favorite: https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/191022/16/5daf94a929fe6_m.jpg  It's pretty well done.

You were in Tucson.  I know that was a great place for what you needed.  Look for a photographer with interesting lighting and artsy pieces.  Do some of that for a bit.  Then try something else if you want.
