Looking for some very specific shots, or advice on pictures that you think I should replicate to make my portfolio stand out. Any kind of posing ideas that you have for me, hair or makeup ideas, anything. I am really just wondering what you think my portfolio lacks, maybe you have a picture in yours that I should do something similar to, or you know someone that does! Thank you!

You've got a few character-situation pictures in your port, especially the bride piece, but none that catch you at the height of a moment of being. The faux fashion shots are always fun to do, but are they really working for the textiles? And do they possess a level of build and quality matched to your look? Unless you're the artist behind the camera, there's a lot you can't do about context and situation: you may basically want your pictures. However, an honest sense of potential roles may help produce more useful shooting scenarioes. Sum: enough posing--find a photographer who knows how to direct; dream up and sketch some story ideas or "scenes" likely to work for you. Act a little. Camp it up. Work with the photographer who lets you, who has you, do something before the lens. Bite an apple. Jan 17 10 08:46 pm Link Looks well lite, colorful, You look happy, good location. It depends on what type of look your going for, but I always like to have a picture with a good smile. I think this one is very nice. Should you ever want to work with a photographer that is not familiar with you, you will want something to make them think, "It could be fun to work with them." I like this one because the background is interesting, you looks confident, lighting gives the image some character. If you are looking to clean out a few I would look at your shots and find any where you don't think you really look 100% confident about what your doing. here are some I thought lacked a little something in the expressions to be kept in the port. This one is a great shot but for some reason it says not 100% confident in this moment. Doesn't seem to have the right contrast and the facial expression doesn't sell me. Jan 18 10 11:52 am Link |
