Jaqueline, you are pretty but there is nothing in your port that shows your potential.
The easy thing to do is to get some beach shots with colorful hot swim suits. Do couple of high heel shots in a pretty dress.
this one is for now the best you have got https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/110427/16/4db8a2e6ce877_m.jpg
but if you don't house clean soon and shoot with a decent photographer no one will ring your bell wink
good luck to you and all my best.

Thank you! smile

Love this one https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/101225/16/4d1691c19575b_m.jpg listed
and this is my fav https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/110216/16/4d5c6c6c45267_m.jpglisted
The rest is nice especially some outdoor beauty shoots but did not captivate me. There is not much plot there especially the nudes are a bit boring except the
naughty housewive style https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/17195216 +18,

Good luck, all my best.

Hello there,
you have some really beautiful shots in your port
my fav: https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/110427/04/4db7fc16d6b0f_m.jpglisted

I love your bubbly personality too wink
and this one is well posed and love the dress and nylons https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/110428/02/4db937d2ae0a0_m.jpg listed
and "Les chute de reins" https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/110417/00/4daa9abe2c7b7_m.jpg I wish this was sharper

love your look, you may want to add more lingerie glamor and beauty shots and portraits done with the right photographer. Good luck to you.

Thanks so much for the feedback. I am looking forward to doing more shoots and add to my port

You look great in this one https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/110426/21/4db7a28c3b829_m.jpg this must be your Tom Cruise angle wink
remove this https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/22095145 you look boring big_smile
it would help if you hold yourself straight when you wear tie and suit https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/22031427

keep shooting themes, you would do great in boy girl duo fashions

Yep, you shoot mostly indoors, and I can see you have worked with many beautiful starter models. 2 immediate reactions; 1-try to coach them better on their poses and better yet put a full height mirror behind you so they can see their expression and posture. 2- Try to improve lighting.
I like this one I feel it was posed great with wonderful wardrobehttps://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/110311/04/4d7a12b2c278d_m.jpgbut I don't like the flat lighting and low contrast.
I like your creative vibes in this one https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/110225/03/4d679433c3914_m.jpg great expression and mua job. Not strong enough for me to list either of them.

You need to perfect your lighting to create drama on beauty boudoir shots, having gorgeous creatures posing in nylons and lace will not be enough if you can not master the light. Your work will come out lifeless and will be pretty much difficult to correct by photoshop. just my 2 cent.
Take care and wish you the best. wink

Thank you for your advice It is much appreciated.
I am trying to work out the lighting problem.

Cheers

you say " I am a PHOTOGRAPHER. That means that I am interested in many forms of expression as a photographer, not just shooting pretty girls. " but you shot some very pretty girls so is this a bait and switch? evilgrin

very nice port and I must say love your ripped nylons pics a lot, https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/110417/18/4dab93d09ff6b_m.jpg very fetishy looking. wink listed
You are beautiful and I love the drama a lot in your pics. Great camera presence. You have great eye connection like this one https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/081118/12/4922ff2030708_m.jpg
I really hate this one https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/090304/08/49aeaef4e5c01_m.jpg big_smile it looks like you live from paycheck to paycheck..
(kidding, the pose is not appealing to me, as you look like you hurt your back while heavy lifting smile )
the bottom pose with the hat below comp is the best and my favorite as well

Thanks so much!  I appreciate the add to your lists.  smile
Personally, I'm not into the vampire and blood thing either, but some of the younger "goth" models really think it's cool, so at the end of a shoot I let them do a few...lol!  The whole vampire thing is so hot right now and for the life of me, I don't understand it...must be getting old...lol.  Thanks again smile

You have some great shots in your port, some are doped great like this onehttps://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/110103/22/4d22c3005adca_m.jpg like it
she is cute but I don't like the hard shadow on this https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/100924/21/4c9d7c8fd02a1_m.jpg
your best in your port is this one https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/080423/17/480faca5003bd_m.jpg love the mua pose and model, , but I hate when feet are cut off. This is either bad framing or reckless cropping. listed anyway.
https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/13615682 is not adding much to your port and again a bad crop. It would have been better to reveal the whole graffiti filled wall behind her.

Hi you have a large amount of indoor and outdoor bw nude shots.
Overall your models are pretty but with some you are unable to get out of them a meaningful pose, attitude and drama you need to qualify them as artistic nude rather then naked girl pictures.
One image grabbed my attention immediately that saves the day https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/100606/22/4c0c832ea0a7c_m.jpg she is awesome. listed.
Your lighting is a bit off or missing the interesting parts of your subjects sometime like this one https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/21880740 +18
I guess this picture  https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/110201/00/4d47c88712cd6_m.jpg is more a lingerie shot then a pinup because there is no plot It is shot flat and it doesn't have a life of its own. The model seem to be bored already. smile
This one https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/100105/00/4b42f30920247_m.jpgcould have qualified as a pinup but looks like just a girl sticking her legs up. One should never forget that a pinup is a single frame of the whole story. If there is no plot there is no pinup.
I like your color photos, this one stands out https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/110207/19/4d50b82ccc2a2_m.jpg gorgeous ink, listed.

Try to plan your shoots better and looks/poses you need ahead of time and ask your models exactly what you want not what they are willing to give you. This is your show , not theirs.
keep it up wink

remove this one https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/110421/13/4db09a9c77574_m.jpg it is not a good idea to post a picture of you posing with someone else in your port. It might shift focus away from you, unless the person posing next to you has relevance (which is not the case here).

this one is really outstanding https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/110319/15/4d853532ecf56_m.jpg listed
Locations you have picked for your outdoor nudes are weakening your images because they are distracting. Poses are decent but nothing really earth shattering smile
