Hello,

I have a little time to kill so I'll be doing a few portfolio ratings for anyone who would like them. Please keep in mind that this is all based on my own opinion (take nothing personal). Also, if I rate you a 3 or lower, I'll write a bit of advice/critique to follow.


Scale ranges from:

1. Hobbyist/Amateur? *

2. There's definitely room for improvement *

3. Seeing a lot of potential ^_^*

4. Loved viewing your port, keep it up!

5. Utterly speechless!


Feel free to rate back if you'd like <3

3.

My advice is to be careful of your lighting so that it doesn't appear 'flat' (though this is subjective, and I don't see it happening in many of your pics).

Also, be mindful of the model's poses/angles. Like the first image where the model's right arm looks very unnatural/uncomfortable whilst hiding her knee/leg. And the second image where I can see up her nose, along with the long shadow it's casting on her cheek. Good concepts though.

Skating between a 2/3.

Reason being, the shots that I like are really nice and the ones I don't care for show room for improvement.

For example, a few of your models seem a bit uncomfortable in their facial expressions/posing (not your fault) which can distract me from the image. Also, be mindful of your lighting so that it's not flat or blown out.

I don't like to judge artist because its very personal. How can I tell you what to improve when this comes straight from you, ya know? Very different from telling someone to tweak a pose or move the chair out of the background. But all in all, I really liked your work smile 4.
