Please take some of your time to look at all the pix I have in my portfolio, and give me some idea to tell the photographer for my upcoming Friday shoot...

Any ideas would help!

Thanks!!

Tell him you're hung like a horse and you want to do this.

Your photographer is the one doing the shooting - at the very least I'd expect him/her to have some sort of idea of what to do.

You have a great portfolio already.  Are you doing a shoot for your portfolio or paid work?  Sounds like a TFP/CD shoot or you are paying your photographer, if you're asking for advice on what to do next.

Where do you see yourself in the market?  So far your portfolio shows a tough guy image overall with a few commercial looks and some fashion.  I think you could play up the fashion and commercial side more.  Look at today's ads in magazines and talk with your agent if you have one.  Think about what you want to do or where you want to market yourself.  Your portfolio seems more like an actor than a model right now...Be more specific with your question or you will likely get a broad range of advice.

If nobody ain't got no ideas about what to shoot, then why shoot?

CANCEL!

There, I said it. So did the horses...

I find it odd that this hasn't already been discussed.

Yeah...if neither of you know what to do, why was a shoot scheduled in the first place?
