Sorry to everybody for neglecting this.
I'm back




I don’t have ton of time, so I’ll do it slowly. But I’ll update the post to keep track of it.

I understand that people may be tired to follow the progress.
I’ll tag you when your critique is ready; unless you ask otherwise



I’ll rate my impression as follow:

For models:
5 – I’d pay for privilege shooting you and having your pictures on my port
4 – I’d pay for shooting you if I have relevant project and you can sign appropriate release
3 – I’d shoot you and accept full commercial release as a payment
2 – I’d shoot you if you pay me money
1- I won’t shoot you unless you pay UNUSALLY BIG money
0 – I’d shoot you only if I’m threatened with using brutal force against me

For photographers:
5 – I’d pay you to be able follow and watch you during your shoot
4 – I’d pay you to make pictures with me or my close relative and I’d sign you full release
3 – I’d pay you to make pictures with me or my close relative
2 – I’d allow you to make pictures with me or my close relative and would consider buying prints upon reviewing results
1 – I’d allow you to make pictures with me or my close relative so you can use them on your port
0 – I’d not waste my time with you

Credentials
NONE
I’m armatures hobbyist with no formal education and very little experience.
So my ratings are pure subjective opinion of average crowd member

To judge my taste you can look through my work

2.5 – I’d shoot you if you pay me money or I’d shoot you and accept full commercial release as a payment if you cover expenses (MUA at least)
You quite versatile but:
1.    You don’t have good clean headshot. It immediately throws you as 3 or lower in my eyes. I never hire person if I cannot clear see the face.
2.    You main strength and ability to emote seems to be in erotic area which is my eyes is quite limited in terms of money potential (I’m not talking about porn)

2 – I’d allow you to make pictures with me or my close relative and would consider buying prints upon reviewing results

Your portraits are good.
I wouldn’t pay upfront though because
1. you have high percent of just “blah” boring pictures
2. Almost all of your portraits are of the same emotional style.

I see no proof that you can deliver something unusual in terms of emotions or exceptionally unique look.
You are nice but you have very similar expression on most of the pictures
In a word you don’t stand out of the crowd.

You have several pictures that I like.
But in all of them I’d mainly credit photographer for the success.
I don’t really see your contribution other then getting naked.
(may be one exception is there)

You have nice start, especially taking into account that Hamilton isn’t the biggest photography/modeling place.
Dave Stewart definitely made pictures work.

However I’m not sure that you can deliver something special without detailed guidance.
