Why post a color and B&W version of the same image? I don't get it!

I couldn't get past the first few rows. You have way too many repeated images. You need to streamline your port. Pick the best image from a shoot and get rid of the rest. Your face is the same in a lot of your images so having more than one is distracting and redundant. Once you clean up your port, the next step would be improving the quality of the images. Hope that helps. Good luck to you. smile

First ones that come to mind are the ones with the water hose. They aren't good, so having a lot of those don't help your port. There are some with you and a plaid skirt on, those are better than the hose ones, but you have to many. It's the same outfit, and like I said the same face, so def cull those down to your favorite one. You want to pick shots that show you in the best light. If you pick too many from one shoot and they all have the same face then that says to a photog that you aren't versatile.

Way too many images from the same shoots.  There is no reason to have 4 or 5 images that are almost exactly the same, just the best 1 from each look.  That was part one, for part two you want to show images with different expressions so again cut out the weakest of those.

It's fine to have only 15-20 images if they are all strong, don't think you need to fill all you spaces.

Adrienne's instructions were pretty clear.

Hopefully, you see a pattern and can take it from there.

You've got a few low-key nudes at the end of your portfolio that are keepers. The rest of your portfolio are bad snapshots.
