No there "isn't" things you need to change.

Cull your boring ones.

And which, in your sketchy opinion, are the boring ones?

Have you ever provided any positive feedback, Ike? Have you ever provided any detailed feedback?  Is the best you can do just a snarky bit of grammar Naziism?

Please consider ceasing your "critiques."

You've got a fantastic look and your portfolio is very impressive. However, you've got a few lackluster images that don't do you justice.


IMO, the weakest image. The wardrobe and the pose don't show you off well. It doesn't even show off the wardrobe well. And your nose is casting a hard shadow on your cheek.

I'd have kept this pose. Have you ever asked a model to look disinterested while remaining attractive and charismatic? It's VERY hard to pull off - it's one of the things that only top of the line talent can do. It's one of those things you see in big budget shoots that you have to learn to avoid on a lesser budget - like those perfect zoom shots you imagine using in your own videos, which turn out to need a whole camera crew to work properly. I'd be inclined to believe a model who can do this can do anything.

The hard shadow is a few seconds in post to remove.

Edited to add: I just spent two hours on a UK forum looking for a model in my area whose port had an image showing posing ability on the level this shot shows. Not every photographer looks at every shot on the basis of how hot the model is; I think those of who want acting ability and subtlety as well as range would be impressed by this shot!
