tips eh?

Tip 1- dont drink the milk, it's spoiled (pass it on)

just kidding.

at 5'6 125lbs, im not quite sure what you expect from the industry. Setting your goals realistically would help.

That being said, I am of the school of

1- having poloroids ready for agency shopping (yes, hit the pavement)

and

2- hire a professional photographer for a good start to a strong portfolio. It also helps you gain experience with working with professionals. You current images stink. (yes, I know im harsh).  Let me be clear. You dont stink, the pictures do. That in turn becomes a reflection on you.

3 - try to have fun. If it's not fun, why do it?

I agree with what was said. You need new images so you can look good. You should cut these down to the minimum and get new photos up asap. Also, you have a duplicate photo, that is a no no. I wish I was closer we could do some fun stuff.

Read through each post in each forum carefuly.

Once you have done so you may realize that this site is more a way to ammuse ourselves for the day than a place to get work done.

Nice start to your port and good luck!!
