Judge the old before the new!

Been out of the business for many years, would be interested in hearing what you think of the old portfolio before i restart a new one.

Would be very much interested in hearing the negatives so i dont start fresh with bad habits :)

Kirsty, I don't see anything to worry about. As you're new (this time around anyway) or I have some type of restriction for responding to new models on PP I couldn't reply to with this response "This is a gorgeous look. Lovely eyes gazing straight at the camera - so at me as the viewer. Beauty dish from in front and above? Great shot." There are a few more I'd have liked to comment on. And on PP we can't make negative comments to a pic, so I must have been thinking these are good.

If you want the negatives, I think they're possibly a bit beyond your control. How the photographers place you, or the pictures you select from a shoot, may not always be the ones to compliment your strengths, of which you have many. When you have more takes to select from you can be confident there will be many good ones so plenty to replace any you are not too sure of.

On the positive side, your portfolio shows such a variety of situations, outfits and poses it has to be attractive to a lot of photographers who want to try what is hard to find on other models' portfolios.

I was looking to use this specific group for a review of my own portfolio. My reason is for the same reason as yours. (I.e. done a lot, big gap, starting again).

The one comment I would have is that you have listed lots of styles of which there is no evidence in your portfolio images. So I would suggest you add a small paragraph listing the styles not covered by images, and explain that you haven’t done them in the past, and are looking to do them now. If you have done them in the past but don’t  have example images, perhaps explain why.

I also love the fact that you say you will work for pay or TF. It may well be worth posting your paid rates now, to give photographers an idea of cost so that they can budget to work with you in advance of getting in contact. 

I hope this helps
