I think you're showing a unique style and vision which makes you stand out from all the other models out there. You're not afraid to go past "cutting edge" into a higher level. Your work grips the viewer and makes him face his dark side. Keep up the good work and don't let anyone quash your dreams.

there is way more women models than men so your already at a disadvantage. ive got an idea of what you want to do by looking at your photos. my advice is find some tfp work with someone that shares the same intrests as you. but if you want to make it famous I personality dont think the way your going and the beard is working for you.

You want brutal, well you got it!! No, I'm not gonna tear you apart. Just a couple observations. I think that you have an interesting style, which is always appreciated in alternative modeling. I don't think you could be a 'mainstream' model, just because of the strict height requirements, and they like 'cookie cutter' guys...  But you could definitely do something with it. I haven't seen your body, so I will only give a flimsy suggestion... You should definitely work on your body, just in case you do partial nudes. With a guy, 'chiseled' is quite desired. But you should definitely (and I know it sounds really cliche and stupid) but practice what looks good--and bad--in front of a mirror, so that when you get in front of the camera, you can kind of have a feel about what you know you don't want. Of course, nothing can really substitute time in front of the lens, but it could help. The biggest thing you HAVE to remember, is that people are MEAN and NASTY! Not all, but A LOT. Just believe in yourself, and their stupid comments mean shit... Check out ModelAdvice.com... The first step is to find TFP/CD shoots. I'm sure you can't afford to pay a photog, so TFP/CD works for both parties, most the time...

Lovesya,

PS GOOD LUCK!!!
