You have a stunning figure with a natural beauty. However, your portfolio (on MM) is too gothic. With your body and obvious talent as a model I think more artistic, beauty, fashion is needed and would be a huge improvement. It would open far more work out to you. Obviously nude modelling is not something you have or would consider I am guessing but I feel this is a mistake. You have an ideal body for nude art. Certainly though I would look to do more fashion and beauty work. Other than that your modelling style and skill appears to be accomplished and you are obviously comfortable in front of the camera.

Portfolio is reasonable but nothing particular creative or exciting
None of your pictures grab my attention or make me thinking wow who is this
There is also very little deviation in your hair and makeup and the styling is the same in pretty much all the shots

I would say colloborate with a MUA and find a photographer who is a bit more exciting with their photography and can capture some awesome images.

I think you have a lovely figure, face and hair..

You're portfolio image are all a bit too similar which is a shame as I think you could easily have a more varied portfolio if you worked with some other creatives.

Hi
Afraid I am not a fan of your main image sorry. the angle and the pose. just miss the mark for me. I will be honest if I was searching for a model. I would take one look at that image and pass you over. which is a shame, as Chrissie has said you have a lot more there to offer. 

Your best images by far in my book. are the latex alt style. if you want to step away from the Alt scene and increase your styles. best search for a photographer who can control the angles and the pose's that will pull the best out of you..

Might sound a bit harsh, but bear in mind that one mans poison is another mans....and this is just my view.

Thanks for the helpful feedback, I have indeed done some less alternative stuff and working on doing more. The mod's must have removed the link to my model mayhem profiles (as I have two accounts one for alternative and one more mainstream which is where my whole portfolio can be seen although I have some images on both currently). Would really appreciate if you guys could have a look.

Model mayhem no:
2317308-alternative
2632363-Mainstream look


Re the art nude thing, It's not that I wouldn't personally like to do art nude but I can't currently do nude work due to my other career. I also have a certain style I want for my alternative portfolio mainly bright colours with a clear images and sort of a digital art feel to it.

It's a bit of a stretch for me to reconcile the written with the pictorial here. The suggestion is of a switched on and experienced model and also tutorial capable photographer with studio understanding, but the portfolio doesn't reflect this well at all I feel. Your links to other ports will make the mods here grumpy, but more importantly, deter me from bothering to log in on another site whilst browsing this one, after all there are lots of great models here already.

I like the gothic look, and lots of other looks too, but if you're going to push on the 'alt' button your styling has to be 'just so' and with previous exponents such as the
Legendary 'AndromedaX' as previous exponents (and still working) you'll have to work hard to fill those tiny shoes in the minds of many.

That said, good face and figure and you seem switched on, so hopefully a positive outlook for the future. Right now though 'ok to meh'

If you can list everyone you have worked with on your portfolio then I would suggest dropping the "paid work only" and the "very experienced" part.
Generally when I see the paid work only I imagine the model to have a portfolio which cannot be improved upon (or can but it would be very difficult to do so).
I didn't go to another page other than the original MM page which had 70 odd images on it - I didn't see much that was that much different to what is on here - all very much Fozzies work. I'm sure you are a great model BUT I have seen hundreds of similar looking modelling skills shot by Fozzie some of which have been first timers so working with someone else and really showing what you can do on your own would benefit you tremendously. You have a great look, just step out of the shadow and find yourself a little.

Thanks it's appreciated. The reason I have a lot of fozzie's work up is mainly cause I personally like the bright colour thing and his style of photography same as Marcus T's work so I guess I'm maybe relying on my own personal preference too much hence asking for the critic. Currently being a full time student on a doctoral training course pretty much means I don't have much free for shoots or time off in general and if there is any paid shoots that's my priority although most of my work is self study/writing/research so I tend to juggle things around to fit.

I think it's mostly been said.

You describe your images on PS as selected, but I don't feel inspired enough by these to be curious to look elsewhere for more. If alternative is where you feel you fit best, that's fine, but you need to be more convincing and make sure it doesn't just look like fancy dress which is how it comes accross to me. You don't look as if the clothes belong on you. And then in contrast you have the rather samey catalogue shots!

I think you need to get some convincing images from the right photographer either by paying someone or TFP, but then your comments as to your 'availability' doesn't convince me of your interest. Having said that, I'm sure you can do it if you really want to, but I don't sense your apetite for it. The bondage shot is probably the most convincing as an image, but doesn't really show you.

Sorry, but it's not a port or profile that would tempt me to offer payment or ask for photographic advice.
