OK sure
Overall nice port, good look and some cool dude poses.
Your best selling ones are listed below with some reservations;
I don't like the lighting in this photo but nevertheless you look somewhat good https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/130706/23/51d90c5d46968_m.jpg but show more confidence.
https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/130728/02/51f4eaf09d0b5_m.jpg I see excessive photoshopping and that to me, is pretty much useless for a male model port.
the photo is so so https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/130706/23/51d90ab8a4e43_m.jpg but people get the idea about your physique and look.

Establish yourself with character and sophistication by adding some action shots like sports and  commercial/ lifestyle modeling.

I like your fashion and glamor boudoir style photos better.
Needless to say you will make any photographer look good.
my dislikes
https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/30407274 you needed an hdr on this photo, pose and posture is meh, look is supposed to be sexy but I feel like left the table still hungry.
https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/27424303 your pose and expression will cause coca cola go bankrupt in this smile
I like only top middle in this collage https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/091204/17/4b19b4bf26a23_m.jpg would list if photo was stand alone.


Keep up! nice work. You will pull off most genres you have listed OK, I like your posing.

We've exchanged comments before; I would like a fuller assessment if you still have the time to do so.  Thanks.

Your port is geared towards more erotic style and in general you get great model connection, you did some fun cool concepts and with  good lighting in studio work but I must say that from what I see here https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/130608/06/51b336e5e15c5_m.jpg you are still experimenting with light.

You are trying to be a good story teller, but I am not convinced a lot of thought process goes into your compositions and the worst that can happen in photography  is to give the impression of shooting for the sake of shooting.
In some photos, model posing lives to be desired or they don't look their best.

You are cute, tall and young
what else you want me to tell you? big_smile big_smile

Ok, kidding aside  I could tell you few things.
first cuteness and beauty alone will not get you a career.
Start getting good habits at young age, work on poses focus on fashion and runaway. I would suggest you go to a modeling school and sign up with a reputable agency.

I like your portraits and your few clothed poses. You don't look much convincing in sexy glamor attire (to me) in  hosed and heeled style photos in your port.
I see rarely  lingerie glamors and nylons in underage model ports bu anyway if you want to make that your cup of tea, be detail oriented and team up with the right photographer.
You have a drop dead gorgeous look, you are 17 and have a bright future. Work on face expressions, posing and be always conscientious of from where the camera is pointing at you.
You will do excellent. your best look https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/131030/20/5271ca5165a5b_m.jpg
nothing to list
remove this https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/34555705
the look is meh
lingerie is boring with  mismatched garments and emotion lacks.
Good luck ! smile

Thoughts please

You seem to be a very serious  "hobby" photographer.
I saw some very nice natural light captures but most appear as snapshots.
to make your work perceive as "art" several ingredients are missing.
No story, no visual impact, no emotional trigger to name a few.
my fav in the bunch is =>  https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/131128/22/529834620068a_m.jpg
she would make anyone look good.
In this https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/131117/20/52899bf99bf2a_m.jpg she is awesome and a photo with a nice bouquet behind but I feel that she is wearing the wrong outfit to enhance her mischief.

You need to manage better your concepts. photography with impact is like cooking, you need right temperature, variety in spices and the right balance in ingredients that goes into it. Once understood then your photos will  take a life of their own and start talking back to you. Until then shoot shoot shoot. But read read read a lot on photography.
take the time to look before you click.
Just like a carpenter, craftsman, you should measure 3 times and cut once!
Good luck in your endeavors.

Bonjour

I like your versatility, and presence in your photos.
Gorgeous and inspiring port.
the gore and vampires style doesn't do for me but hey, it looks good nevertheless.
What strikes me the most is your bewitching eyes.
Great job.

I am impressed by your professionalism in this thread and the determination to see all commented on.  I would greatly appreciate some feedback and encourage you to take a look.

with regards.

your port is not the average run of the mill.
I like your lighting very much especially in art nudes.
I am not much fond of high key photography in general but yours is right on the mark
I saw excellent compositions and very sexy stuff done with Model- Ceci Z (#2775172)
looks like an excellent collab and love the bw high contrast in general. https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/130809/11/52053b63497ea_m.jpg and great crops there as well.

You get an A+ for those projected light patterns to create awesome concepts like this
