Hello!!!

I've had some time out of modelling as i have been busy filming...

But now im back!!!! ;) Even a new hair doo...

I had a Fabulous shoot on the 20th with Nigel Bunker, and I am so happy with the "new me"... Styling, Hair and Make-Up done by ME!! :)

Now my question to all you lovely people is, which ones would vamp up my portfolio?

There are 7 photo's in all, so here goes...be honest people with your comments!!

Just my own opinion, but def keep the first 3 in your port, #88879, #33343, #88878 - and possibly the 4th.

The others are lovely shots, but not "WOW" or showing anything much different.
If you want to do lingerie work get some much better lingerie pictures that show your figure and the actual uderwear. Remember for lingerie work an agency are looking for someone that will wear and fill the garments well. Any client is interested in what their underwear looks like, not you, so having it all in shadow is no good for your portfolio.


The "Artistic Nude" is not. It's implied topless. Yes it's very nice, artistic and beautifully lit, but it's not artistic nude.

The finish on the head shot is simply awful - sorry. Keep it simple and show your beauty. Any agency/client will be looking at you and your face, not the special effects, and this one does you no favours. The grainy finish makes your skin look old, the heavy shadow has made your nose look weird and flat (compare it to the finish on the 3rd and fourth pictures to see how great your face can look).
It's a nice arty shot, but no agency will want to see it.


These are all really great, arty shots and as a tog I'd be proud to have them in my portfolio.
But for a model looking for work, they are not going to show you off to an agency. Agencies are not interested in seeing dark moody, artistic shots. They want bright, full shots that show you and your assets to their best advantage (boobs, bum, legs, face - full length, three quarter and close up of face).

just took a quick nose at your website - you have much better images on there.

I am a great fan of Nigels and these shots are fantastic  but even Nigel can only capture whats in front of him and you have done an amazing job and look stunning.

I would work with you any day based on these images.
