or better yet, what a girl needs.

Let’s try something a little different.  I read a lot of advice given to models and photographers about not having the necessary images for a given genre.  I rarely see why or any examples given.  The aim of this thread is to educate and give insight into what is needed to establish a great portfolio for the professional world.  The images that make them more marketable.  What works, what does not and most importantly why?

Categories:  Editorial Fashion, Commercial Fashion, Catalog, Commercial (lifestyle), Editorial, Headshot, Glamour, Art, Fine Art and Character Portraiture.

The rules are simple: 
-  List the category and target audience (model, photographer, MUA etc).
-  Post an example photo (does not need to be your own).
-  Provided an explanation as to why or what it is that makes this a good image.
 
Optional:
-  Comparative 2 photos, average verses good.
-  Post a link to a model, artist that exemplifies the genre.  Either in or out of MM

Feel free to post more then once.
