| Luxuria Model  Location United Kingdom Lancashire Lancaster - Isle of Man - Manchester - Glasgow - Edinburgh | I've decided it's time for a three month review. I've done a lot of shoots, have some (I think) great images and am ready now for the onslaught of criticism and derision.  If you could please take a look at my portfolio, decide what you like and what puts you off, then get back to me, I'd be greatly appreciative. Anything, constructive or otherwise, regarding the art nude work will be particularly interesting, as it's an area I'd like to specialise in. Thanks a lot, in advance. Lux |

| Lifescapes Photographer  Location United Kingdom Cumbria Kendal, Lancaster | I can't see much to criticise in your port but neither do I think you've got any real 'stand out images' yet that lift you above the crowd. With regard to the art nude work, I would say that this one is probably the best as you're working your figure more. The others, pleasant enough as they are, when you come down to it need a little more effort and shape to be really 'art'. It's been said many times before on here but it's worth repeating. Seek out and work with good photographers and your portfolio will benefit and the bookings should follow. You have the figure for it, you just need the right collaboration. |

| profilepictures Photographer  Location United Kingdom Suffolk Bury St Edmunds | Youve a good look, and I didnt see your port before so can't make comment on the changes. I think your best is still to come though and if you've done lots of shoots, i wonder if they were paid and without many images provided (if at all?) Might be worth finding someone really good locally and seeing about a TF shoot to get some outstanding shots, I'm certain your capable of. http://www.purestorm.com/profile.aspx?id=eymc275 http://www.purestorm.com/profile.aspx?id=Yates http://www.purestorm.com/profile.aspx?id=tomhl http://www.purestorm.com/profile.aspx?id=hulmebantam All the above are Manchester based, maybe have a quiet word and see what you can arrange? |

| ColinPierce Photographer  Location United Kingdom Merseyside Bootle |  Quote from andybramahphotographI would change your main picture'its awful ! regards-andy bramah. www.photographerpreston.com Would have to agree with the above. You also seem to have a few images that are not that great from a technical point of view. Which, in fairness is not your fault but that of the photographers used. You have a good body and clearly know how to pose, so you should be able to improve further by choosing maybe different photographers. The best of your port are the location images, so I would recommend using that photographer again. It is only a personal opinion too but think you look far better with a more natural look. I think the hair colour is a litlle distracting, especially for fine art work. Please don't take offence at the comments about hair. Purely a personal opinion and down to taste. |

| swalsh58 Photographer  Location United Kingdom Kent Orpington | A couple of your images are quite low res, thats not your fault, its what the photographer has given you I assume. I disagree a little with some things said,the image shown above by lifescapes is I think your best. There are a couple of B&W that I like too. Mostly the others are just okay. You have all the attributes, your port should hit people between the eyes and say stop right there and look at me. It doesnt at the moment, but there is no reason why it shouldnt. I have looked at your port, and I would shoot with you, if you werent at the other end of the country that is. |
