| tarmoo Photographer  Location United Kingdom Kent Chatham | Hi Amy For a beginner, your portfolio is not bad. You will get a huge number of people wanting TF shoots with you as you have nude as one of your levels. Maybe consider dropping nude as one of your level until after you have been here a while and be very selective over who you work with at the start. Only work with photographers with a lot of references you can check and contact models photographers have worked with to be sure. Good luck with modelling.  |

| tob Photographer  Location Europe Germany Hamburg | HI Amy, your portfolio is pretty good for a beginner. As tarmoo already mentioned, consider to drop nude for a while until you've gained some experience. You'll indeed get a lot of tf requests, be selective and judge by the pictures on the photographers portfolio. The number of references a photographer has, might be an indication but try to get in contact with the models by mail. I myself have no references at Purestorm yet, as I'm a foreign photographer. But nonetheless I can provide references to international models on other modeling sites. Regarding nudes: Have a look at IainT's website http://www.iainthomson.com/getting-naked-on-the-internet Once you've read his advices and thought about it reconsider. Good luck and hopefully one day we will shoot together.  |

| mgphotomedia Photographer | The arty nudes (in your port and elsewhere) seem to bring out your natural spirit whereas your glamour/casual looks slightly awkward. So more stylish nudes - at 5' 8", and with the figure you have, you have a great prospect of doing really well at that. Good luck |

| kingnorman13NK Photographer Location United Kingdom London | I think you have enough information in your selection of images, which, along your stats, will serve you well at this stage. They may not be the best images, but they do show you well and in a very natural way which appeals. You remind me of Lily Cole, not as a lookalike - more a type of look. I can see some great portraits to come - and more. I think you will find you will be overwhelmed by messages, and fair comment has been given above. Perhaps you should turn the table and look for photographers that you like - message them, and negotiate some TFP. It might be easier than filtering your inbox! I'd sure be delighted if you were to message me. Good luck, but I think your potential is looking positive. NK |

| BrazenDivas Photographer  Location United Kingdom Highland Inverness | If you drop nudes how on earth are you supposed to gain experience if that's what you want to try. (Just to be clear this is not a TF request - people do make the most stupid assumptions) |

| mgphotomedia Photographer | PS I don't know what rates are like in Worthing but certainly £20 per hour for topless/nude for a model with your stats is a little below the going rate where I am. If you're going to publish your rates in your profile notes I suggest you increase them a little and leave yourself room for negotiation should you need it. PPS Bear in mind that most established models are able to keep their ports updated using images donated from shoots where they've also been paid for their time. Whilst there are a few notable exceptions the poor quality of most images gained by modelling for the TF brigade doesn't compare. |

Oh okay, being a bit of a newbie at this I thought I'd start off low so as not to put anyone off, but thank you I'll change that part |
