Is my folio ok ?

T.

The pic's on your folio have been approved and passed by admin. as a model so the pic's must be ok.

p.s tidy room.....not.

Add a full length and then you have the bare basics :-)

From what I recall it was much better before!

I know i have just moved house but i get urges when i feel like doin pictures ha thanx for your comment.

T.

Well you asked and I saw your request so...I'll reply.

I'm not a professional photographer by any means BUT I think my points may be valid.

Downside:-
The shots are obviously taken by you on a mobile phone/digi camera.
They are out of focus and very grainy.
They are not very flattering.

Upside
Not a lot really.

I think if you use these in the hope of attracting a paid for shoot your target audience will need more.  You are in a very competetive market and you need to be showing your assets as best you can.
The images show your nice shape but they are hardly going to grip any photographers imagination.

I am sure you could fnd a photographer near you who would oblige by taking much better pics on a time for CD basis.

I certainly would if you lived nearer to me.

Hope you're not offended.

I agree with the downside as those photos can not get much worse quality wise but on the upside and even though they're blurry you still can see that she's trying and she's a pretty girl and has a good figure, and to be honest even if she lived next door to an amateur photographer I can't see how another hobbyist on a pro site can improve on her existing photos!

"and to be honest even if she lived next door to an amateur photographer I can't see how another hobbyist on a pro site can improve on her existing photos!"

I'm puzzled why you would say that.
I could improve on those in automatic mode.

I take professional quality photographs (in my opinion) yet do not use photography for an income.

I must admit I havn't read much of the forum yet but I thought with the skills I have learned so far I feel more than qualified to answer.

I guess amateurs arn't welcome here either then eh?

Well I'm not an admin or a judge but if I were I would say anyone is welcome as long as they include possitive remarks or they got something encouraging to say to a new model, I can't judge you're work as you only have one photo when you allowed with 6 and it's not my job really, you're called a hobbyist so I took you for how you classified yourself! if you both think you can help her then Good for you both :)

A request for a critique does not necessarily need to include positive remarks.
In my opinion, as long as the remarks are constructive, then they are beneficial. 

I wasn't asking for a judgement on my work - I have a lot to learn before I'm ready for that.

Even though I choose not to call myself a professional does not mean I don't have valid points to make.

---------------
you're right that was one hell of a constructive scientific analysis!

Did you study for that!
----------------------
"A request for a critique does not necessarily need to include positive remarks."also you don't need to keep the door open for your wife or gf when you leaving your house but it would be nice but if you don't and even shut the door for her to have to open it too you'd still be logically not on the wrong but..it's not polite or positive attitude is it!



------------------
I really better stop doing this...Chris help me please, you have experience in how stop winding people up...maybe not!!

Jeeze...

No...its wasn't scientific but to a model who wanted advice on her port YES it was constructive, albeit brief.

Perhaps you think she wanted an explanation of why the shot was grainy and out of focus??

You might think I was stating the obvious....those on the other side of the lens may not.

Studioio...I wasn't impolite.

I'll let you have the last word.
You obviously feel strongly about it and I, frankly, don't.

Adios.

Thankyou everyone for your comments much appreciated, i am not offended at all i like the truth its the only way to find out where im going wrong 'or right! ha. Thanks again im working on it xx

T.

Hi Tracy - i have to agree with Hobbyist - he has raised valid points and you should take his advice - just because people call them self or think they are professional doesnt make them so.  I have seen many many amatuer or hobby togs that would blow spots of a so called or self proffessed professional photographer.  Just because you own a set of lights, some studio space and fell into photography becoz it was a better option than the dole or the only way you would ever get to a girl naked in the same room doesnt make you a Pro - Proffesion togs also need to act in a professional way too - something sorely lacking in in a lot of togs in my opinion. 

I also think he has a very valid point - any amatuer tog using auto settings on a modern dslr should be abale to produce better than waht you have already - you are a pretty girl with a good body that justs needs someone to help you on your way - lets hope someone sees the potential and helps you out - good luck in the future    

Key words to watch out for so I don't touch a nerve.. amateur- critique..

some people openions is definitely coming from their experience


www.studioio.co.uk

It must have been me that touched your nerve then as you didnt take long to reply - not sure that you mean by amatuer- critique -  
you can tell me if i am wrong or have something is not right but i didnt realise that you had to be a professional in order to offer an opinion - isnt someones opinion just that - an opinion take it or leave it?  Just find it strange that so many people on this site love posting up for what it seems is the reason of picking a fight or just being plain rude to each other - 
It could be me, i might just be to hormonal and picky but everywhere i go it is all i see - why cant we just be nice and offer some constructive critism instead of being so bloody negative and confrontational ?

thats all i am saying :)

I genuinely agree %100 and I will try to be nicer..there are a few things that provoke me to be honest and sadly I'm right about them most of the time, anyhow I think I will be taking a long long long holiday from NP (thx god some are thinking) :D but it will be dull without me I promise :P
ps

you didn't touch a nerve if you did, trust me you'd know it :)


Take care MR
