I like our portrait style.
I don’t like first 3 images on you port though. They are just not up to your bar

4.2 – I’d pay you to make pictures with me or my close relative and I’d sign you full release
I don’t quite understand why you would need any feedback. Your work is on the highest professional level and you know it smile
The only image I don’t like on your port is your avatar tongue

In fact I like that you have limited number of pictures in your port, but don’t keep trash there.
It means you have good taste and judgment of quality

I think there is some white balance problem with this picture

And it should be sharper. May be you can revisit you resizing process.

Is good idea. I’d like one eye really open there.
I know it isn’t simple. Rather quite challenging.

And I’d work on having softer shadow on this picture

I like how natural you are in your artistic images.
You landscape experience has definitely taught you to see and use natural light very efficiently

You have nice headshots and that’s good start.
However, you are writing that you’d like to do fitness, health, or sports related modeling work.
There is nothing on your port that would show if you capable of doing this.
You need some pictures in appropriate sporty outfits, showing your abilities and body fit level.
As of now looking at your port it’s impossible to tell if your body is suitable for this kind of work.

You can look to this port as good example and goal

I like your look, emotions and taste.

I’d suggest to experiment with different hairstyles though.

It’s very hard for me to judge your port because your aesthetic is completely foreign for me. I feel no connection.
In addition your have too many similarities, which brings thoughts of certain obsession.
You definitely in control of light, so I’d take risk

based on your MM port
0 – I’d not waste my time to dealing with you
I think it’s too much of blur and diffusive glow there. Also there is certain overdose of reportageness in you people photography

I really love the series of old cars on your site though

You modeling port screams: “I’m photographer!!!!!!”
It doesn’t sell you as model. It’s all about appreciation of photographer skills and creativity.
I’d expect very hard time working with you, when you’re constantly trying to imagine how your pose works for this lighting and adjusting according to your perception of photographer vision.
It’s like “Doctors are the worst patients”
I’d be nightmare

You are definitely in control of light. However on half of the pictures your full creativity is put to find pretext for anatomical discourse. It just doesn’t fully works.
Mood, light, expression and composition don’t go along one with other.
There are some cool ideas and concepts but they don’t look polished.
Try to use more selective focus/shallow DOF and use lighting to emphasize the point of attention.
If you want to focus on labia put out other parts in shadows, out of focus or something else. Don’t create competition between different parts of the image.

There are small number of nice exceptions though
