You have an absolutely “potent” portfolio.
I am happy that a lot of photographers brought out the best you have to offer.
I particularly like this one
And this
Both listed.
this must be your android look , powerful expression, like the photo. listed
Great cool action here
overall a solid port that will get you very busy.

Hello Varton. Can you please include me? Thank you, in advance!

Hello there,
With pleasure my dear!
I am not sure if you are the real muse of Hades, you must know this since you picked your handle "Hades"... the Dark Prince... The Unseen One... Greek God of The Underworld, Ruler of the Dead. Not many know that the term Hades refers not only to the man, but to the place (The Underworld) as well. He is one with his dominion. He's often depicted with either his trusty sidekick, Cerberus- the three-headed guard dog, or his reluctant wife, Persephone. Anyway you seem like you tamed him .
When I see your first photo in your port my first knee reaction is to say "you are an amazing woman!" and more I think about it I  feel like saying "you are open minded and very wise too" especially after I saw this posted in your profile:
When I agree to do nudes, there is not usually very much needed at all, in the way of touching up and editing. I don't have any stretch marks at all and no sagging/bagging, etc. You won't be 'photo-shopping' until the cows come home.
This is the exact state of mind and sense of humor I like to see in a model. A real talented photographer could transform any of negatives into a positive even before the photo-shop was invented. and you did not have to wait until cows came home LOL.
Ok enough kidding and let get on with business.
You have a couple of good ones that make justice to your beauty, and couple I would get rid of for instance in this https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/22790930 your face appears burned white. Background contrast is also poor. Cows came home and nothing happened there I don’t care about much butterfly looks https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/22708045 even though you appear sublime, airborne looking jumpy poses and sleeping with snakes does not strike a chord on my guitar even though I give you a lot of credit for doing it. I prefer to evaluate your specialty work because you are a just perfect fit for doing beauty boudoirs and pinups as well as you can go from damsel in distress to dominant diva type.
Your rigging is not bad at all on this https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/22956957 +18 looking like more quickie then real shibari. If I were the rigger I would also tie your hands to the back of the chair and feet to the legs of the chair and would prefer the rope job was pulled a bit higher from your waist to cup and lift your breast effectively for a more erotic impact. 
I love this https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/22956377   +18 because it gives a nice wrapped and ready to be served feel, along with showing your beautiful curves.
Your pantyhose diva look here could be improved by making those seams straight up to amplify the impact of your shapely legs. I would never let that happen. A bit opaque nature of the hose explains the missing and otherwise needed shimmer in this photo. If you have legs like this, you should never wear anything higher then 15 deniers.


Your best photo in my opinion is this https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/4184213  but to small to list
The next good one is
And this great pose but suspect a bad photo-shop on the face and thighs
I love this a lot https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/3608651    +18 listed
I can read a lot more then what you expose here, you must be a delight to work with. You are like a delicate wine and should be tasted such and not to be taken recklessly. Weight all assignments, versus photographer compatibility and be picky. You will do excellent with photographers that can inspire you and share a vision with you. All my compliments.

Your pictures lean more to alt modeling and give an impression of a dancer rather then a model. I like this one but too dark to list.
Also this one is my fav
came out good and like the make up.
Remove the group pics, as it is not adding anything and weakening your port. All my best to you. Find good  photographers and do some cleaning.

Thanks!

I saw 2 excellent pictures in your port ( listed)
and this one with some vintage vibes   but this would be better shot with a hint of real FFNs welts showing and the umbrella was a good prop until half of it was missed in the action.
.
You have several lingerie boudoir work but they do not hook me up much. I feel like I saw this kind before.
If we take this awesome corset shot; you saw here only a corset and a girl, what I see here a missed opportunity for story telling...
I learned early enough that subjects/models in photos do not have a life of their own, and should be rarely trusted for creating the momentum in one’s work. They are like just lifeless clay and it is our job to mold them to what we want to show and then add life to them. You have a single frame frozen in time to tell your whole story, if you can't do that , then it shows.
In this pic model’s fingers are curved to almost to a fist. This is what I would want to avoid in a beauty pose.
Those are little things that has a cumulative effect on one’s success.
Keep it up. Vary your shoot style and be creative technically and mentally

you should add perhaps a swimsuit or a lingerie if you are thinking of doing glamour boudoirs or pinups.
You look beautiful

Good job Robert, I love the saturated colors and high contrast compositions. Especially this great color harmony.

This is great but I am not so much crazy about the lips.

I actually deleted a lot of them from here.  I was trying to trim down. 

the lips I get odd opinions.  a lot of likes and some dislikes I am really having trouble cutting down my port because of so many mixed opinions. 

My friend said that a good artest will get mixed reviews of there work.  Coming from a school back ground I have learned to take criticism seriously.  In fact any time I finish a piece of work I always try to get at least 20 different opinions so I can at least get a general consciences.  But lately its been hard to tell. 

here is the rest of my work. 

PS I take very limiteds photos on a shoot so what you see is basically what you get minus the outtakes. 

But I am debating wether taking few photos as a photographer is a bad thing. 

I do HDR on all of them when taking the photos.  If the hdr does not work I use the best exposure. 

This is a complete work I did with the 2 models I shot

I feel that they qualify better then some you left in your port
the first one for sure is a beauty
second one has some drama
try to work with experienced models so you don't have to be worry about looks/posture/poses etc and concentrate on techniques.

keep things simple as much as possible.

I knotest the experience models are nice to have but some times I feel like a Don Quixote in a way with these models.  If you seen there works before its like I totally revise there looks and take them out of a stereo type.  I get a sorta high off of that because it makes me feel like a Michelangelo "I Saw the Angel in the Marble." 

I am too much of a softy and hate selling my self or making my self look like the big cheese because of who I shot with or who I worked with.  I admit it does help wonders for any ones career to do just that but it makes me feel like I have some how cheated who I am as a person and my innocence is some how being chiseled away. 

Btw I will add those back.

Always interested to get another's perspective on my work. Thanks in advance...

Hello Brian
I like your bw arts a lot.
is the best and listed

You captured this pinup very well but something is wrong with that flat hair.

In this one I am not sure why you want to show an ugly wall more then your beautiful model.

This one I am not so crazy about, because it is shot waist down, nothing so special and boring. If you want people not to fall asleep on your nylons and heels shots use stockings with no spandex in them along with peeptoes and slingbacks, if not there is no point in shooting them. On this one heels may be sexy but does not show it well.
This is also very good and my fav
I like the way you manipulate light.
Keep it up. Functional port
