Miss Mellisa:

I think your portfolio is well above average.  You are well represented in most images, and it shows a lot of your talents.  You have great features, expressions and postures.  They convey an emotion in them.  Well done.  But don't stop there... keep on striving, its work, but its worth it.

Best Regards,

B

Thanks Much

Looking through your portfolio, you have variety and have definitely worked with some creative minded photographers. I read the comment about the Wizard of Oz shot and I totally disagree. You took a classic and put your own spin on it. "bravo".
Now what I will give you for food for thought as to what I look for when I open a model's portfolio is that I look at expressions. And if I can visually move my eyes from photo to photo and see the same exact expression as if it is following me through the portfolio, I tend to think that as a limitation of range. Your portfolio have some of those. I always suggest to models to just get a hand mirror and when you are sitting at home at night or laying in bed, use that mirror to find your ranges and know what looks good for you so you can store it in your memory. Good luck going forward.

Thank you. And that is definitely something I will work on ❤

Hi Melissa, Pretty look. I'd suggest images without all the plastic photoshop look and unless doing bridal to couple shots you don't want wedding and engagement rings on ever. They distract as do rings. Some rings work for the Gothic, Tattoo work if the model has good body language and hand speak. Keep hands from between legs unless doing a coverup or tugging a garment. Hands distract and are the enemy of effective image along with elbows to knee. Your hands are distracting and not the way you want to cover so study others for you don't want fingers clumped. Hair to wigs not being posed and every image hair needs to be posed correctly and no strands coming down the body by themselves. keep shoulder down at all times. Don't sink in bed and then use hand cover too. You don't want to be chopped up. Many use plywood under bed to keep model from sinking into bed. With real hair you always want up to date dyes. One image is way off and that hurst booking work and breaks your image up which hurts a portfolio when the body is being broken up or cut up,

Very pretty with great features. Tattoos are all very nice and well done. A few simple changes and you'll have even more success. have fun!

I like the parasol(?) (I'll call it an umbrella). I think maybe you could next time have it more in a closed position  instead of the way it looks now ( which is basically in a  completely open position) --  so that the eyes (of the viewer) follow the "closing up" umbrella and the umbrella kind of stops at the breast (then your eyes are lead first directly towards and then  right past the umbrella to the breast). But the breast would still not be  quite fully exposed - but instead - they are still being obstructed by the umbrella. That might tease the viewers imagination. It might also give a better sense of what the models naked upper torso might look like - but the viewers imagination must go to work to figure it out.

Got it !! Thank you so much. Very good insight
