I was traveling past few months and I didn't get a chance to keep up with all those requests, I'll get to it asap. I apologize and I thank you for  your indulgence and patience.
Looking forward to visit your port soon,
take care.

I want to say thanks for your review you have done on my port before.  I take all criticism to heart in a good and learning way cause I always want to improve.  I've redone some of my port now and was hoping to get another honest review by you, I'd really appreciate it

based on new port:

First impressions: tasteful nudes, good color saturation in photos
Your Skill level: model driven, some indoor lighting need to be improved,

Your challenges: https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/150115/20/54b8933babd73_m.jpg boots don't go well with the mood of this shot,
I am old school and find tattoos a bit distracting and incompatible in this .https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/150309/22/54fe851cd4c7e_m.jpg
https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/170526/07/592838a6bbe5a_m.jpg harsh shadows ruin otherwise nice poses in lingerie
Paid assignments: eventually
What I like:  https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/150118/16/54bc52b2a8796_m.jpg
Suggestions/ Bottom line/verdict: Use softboxe monolights to shoot lingerie boudoirs, speedlights with diffusers usually give poor results, work on better model posing.

First impressions: good "personality" shots
Your Skill level: beginner
Your Work focus:   fashion fitness will work
Your MM Profile usefulness: acceptable as a minimum
Your challenges: posing and convincing you are a model, in male modeling looking down doesn't create drama or romantic mood https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/170403/20/58e319fc2b5a4_m.jpg it indicates weakness, google up for male poses.

What I like:  https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/170110/22/5875d5154ae29_m.jpg but your gaze to camera is flawed, looking to uptight, relax a bit. Avoid to be in vignetting pics.
Suggestions/ Bottom line/verdict: keep the fitness shots, replace everything else with some fancy clothing and shoot in some interesting locations. You will do well in boy girl duo shoots for commercials.

Suggestions/ Bottom line/verdict: I haven't been able to assess   actual  photographer skills in your port as images are overwritten with some  heavy duty photoshop work that sometime falls back in unexpected areas such as artifacts on her forehead neck shoulders  (brown khaki) probably due to excessive application of successive multiple contrast and saturation which is visible on my monitor e.g. https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/170304/13/58bb3145a5e32_m.jpg alteration of background color is also evident as her hair extremities head contour also doesn't look natural, as if it was wiped out using smudge tool.

https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/170304/13/58bb313a5f3a4_m.jpg same in bottom of photo (dull brown khaki color spots on shoulders)   and after all that hard work I wouldn't want the hair on arms either.

Suggestions/ Bottom line/verdict: You are doing great, keep shooting ! Remove the redundant pics where you pose in he same outfit at the same location. Your art nude poses are pretty much within the standard. The glamor and erotic nudes need more presence. The issue is lack of directing, not you.
