I am interested in feedback ... new member ...

Kelly ... on a 'quick' glance through ... these two seemed to attract my eye .... but on a slower perusal of your photos maybe others will be more 'interesting' ... which brings up the question .... Why does a photo stand out to a quick examination versus a more studied examination?

Some images really just jump out at you and this one did for me immediately.It's perfectly framed, sexy, confident - a great moment captured using the wind to your advantage.

This is unquestionably the best image in your port - https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/40885943. The photography isn't great (it might be worth doing a short photography course or teaming up with a professional photographer to get you started) but this shot tells what looks like the beginning of a story and that's always more interesting than nudity for nudity's sake.

I'm a big fan of your style. True art nude and it's so beautiful to see.

This one is one of my favourites - https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/19984691 - the way you've back lit her hair really draws the viewer's eye and I love her shape and the background you've created. Really lovely work.

Herman, there are so many I love that I'm going to do the same with you as I did with Rik and just comment on my faves in your port directly. Picking just one would be extraordinarily difficult.

The lighting really brings out her skin tone and I love the angle! The pose works, I really like the close crop. My eye was immediately drawn to this one.

Sensitive, romantic, girl-next-door-sexy series. I love each image in this set and think the overall emotion in it is just gorgeous. A clear winner for me!

You have such a wicked style. Your look is beautiful and you're clearly a very expressive model, which makes going through your port a real pleasure.

It's a toss up for me between this one -

https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/41784604
It's so warm and evocative. It really grabs me. Your expression and the lighting work beautifully together.

https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/43351933
I love the drama and the creativity that has gone into this shot. Killer effort from the whole team and you've brought it home beautifully with such a captivating look.

Thank you.

I'm afraid I'm probably the wrong person to comment on your port. Personally I'm not a fan of fetish photography so I couldn't begin to tell you the best one because I don't 'get' it. Fetish models and photographers would be able to give you a much better idea of what works and what doesn't.

Apologies I can't be more help!

Well that's a tall order.

You are absolutely stunning and your work is exquisite. Picking a favourite is tough but I'll try.....

I love the confidence and the expression in this one -

It's a tough image to go past without looking twice.

This is such a strong and eye catching portrait -

The wind, the pose, the angle, your expression - it all melds together perfectly and makes for such an incredible image overall.

Thank you for posting. I loved looking through your work.

Hi Craig,

I definitely have some NSFW images so good call there tongue

You've captured some beautiful images and some quite varying in style.

My favourite would have to be this one -
https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/41974524

Not that you don't have other lovely shots but this is a portrait that looks fantastic AND that most people won't have in their port - always something to consider when shooting something so many others typically shoot. It's a great use of colour, the framing is stunning and the eyes are the star of the image, in spite of the beautiful colours on her face.

Nice work smile

I think I may have skipped you last time Andie, sorry.

I honestly don't think your best shot has been captured yet.

You are such a stunning girl with quite a unique beauty but I can see your nerves in most of the shots and I can completely relate. It is nerve wracking initially, especially if you're not a naturally exuberant person.

I hope you continue to model., you have a great look x
