People tell me that a lot of my work is old fashioned. I'd be interested to hear your thoughts, as I've been on this site almost ten years and I know that my work has evolved...but into what? Do let me know.

My selection here is limited and my instagram is a little more fun and varied.

Paid assignments: why not if you can get them. What I like: Best in Port: https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/3250460 Suggestions/ Bottom line/verdict: I like the punk goth style and crooked poses in your photos. Iwon't comment in UV lighting because I am generally not interested. Do you make my list?: No

You could easily become your own brand in what you (like) to do. To do that, you need to add intrigue and seduction to your stories. Photographing slutty model behavior won't get you the grade but sophistication and intrigue body language and correct poses for this genre will help. Do you make my list?: no

me too! by the way, very impressed by the amount of time and effort you invested reviewing so much ports! I made a todo list to look at least some of them. unfortunately, the list is sorted alphabetically, not by value. otherwise it could be easier to start from the very top of the leaning curve...

Happy Holidays! Khaega wrote: I’d like a review if you ever get the chance First impressions: Amateur feel, too many photos of the same set, similar poses. Your Skill level: Beginner Your creativity: Photographer driven Specific style: Still searching Your Work focus: Good fit for fitness and lifestyle Your MM Profile usefulness: Pretty generic. It would be better state specific goals in desired markets Your challenges: Pretty generic look and poses. Paid assignments: No Your money shot: none What to delete: All redundant photos Suggestions/ Bottom line/verdict: For all beginners I suggest that they customize their port on a specific area of this market they can influence or their skill set or look can lead and compete.

Your Work focus: Currently more on glamour side. Your MM Profile usefulness: To the point. Your challenges: Some awkward posing that can be corrected. Work with good photographers Paid assignments: Possible in niche markets Your money shot: Could not find one to qualify. What I like: but a very tight crop bottom chest. What to delete: first raw second or third photo which is redundant bad pose Suggestions/ Bottom line/verdict: For nude art pick a photographer that know what he is doing. Your implied or nude samples are not much flattering. Focus a great deal on commercial modeling and lifestyle. Hire a good photographer and get rid of Instagram style photos. Good luck.

I am not an artist and I am indifferent to nude art which I often perceive as boring. Your landscapes are also uninspiring and beauty of it is not enough emphasized.

Your Creativity/Style/Work focus: Predominantly Art, Beauty, Your Skill level: Advanced Your MM Profile usefulness: Very useful. Your challenges: I would expect more intense expression and passion from you while posing, you appear absent in some photos. Yes body is there but mentally you are elsewhere. In this type of work you must engage the camera, be the subject not the object. But I see great posing abilities. Paid assignments: Yes What I like: https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/46628373 I like your pose although a very bad photo lighting wise and cropped tight on umbrella. Best in Port: , also best black and white https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/45066976 What to delete: Redundant landscape based poses. Just too many of them. Suggestions/ Bottom line/verdict: You will make any photographer look good. Most of the photo shopped fairies in your port appears at best tacky. Do you make my list?: No

Meaning they control the shoot, not you. Paid assignments: Yes What I like: Your hi keys are fine but too tight Suggestions/ Bottom line/verdict: I see some odd crops and overly blown pics as in https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/46778861 although this would not bother many but suggest you don't know "where" your light is coming from or where it will reflect back to your lens. Many of your models are chopped at their forehead as a style of crop but doesn't work for me. You also cut off extremities https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/46778978 such as hands etc. I feel it is a lack of attention to details and cutting off extremities is bad for professional photography.e.g. In this last photo foliage negates the sensual effect of boots and lingerie. Hence concepts and wardrobe are seen in obvious conflict in your photos. Do you make my list?: No

Dead Eye Photo wrote: Just getting back into this after a ten year pause. Let's get the ball rolling. Bring it on. :-) Sorry for the unavoidable delay in addressing your request; First impressions: your work come across as pretty generic in concepts and execution. I see there some inconclusive ideas and shortfalls. Your Style/Work focus: portraiture beauty glamor boudoir etc Your Skill level: I don't sense a good control on ambient light. Poor dynamic range on the background in this and also I won't call a portrait as glamor as nothing glamorous there . Also overblown highlights is an eye sore. Your MM Profile usefulness: I totally understand where this is coming from but " looks verification" section is very amusing. Good luck. Your challenges: model motivation seem to lack, I don't see any sparks in their eyes. Meh looks tight cropped arm edges, random crops Paid assignments: TFP What I like: Suggestions/ Bottom line/verdict: your b&w nudes seem pretty boring. Color glamor work lacks sensuality. You will do better if you can create a narrative in your shoots and aim for a purpose. Although your work is usable it is not quite there to be remembered. Do you make my list?: No
