I would be grateful on any criticism, constructive or not, on my portfolio to see how I could improve performance.

Thank you

Just checked your SS- Here are my two cents worth:

1. Good use of real day to day models - realistic
2. Good use of Natural Light

Additional thoughts- add in some isolated on white shots - SS really loves them. Think even more commercial on your shots- why would a buyer want my photo? I am myself thinking in 'Themes' when I do a photos session these days. I am guilty of 'Spray & Pray' myself...

Hope this helps you a little at least two cents worth...

Thanks tab62,

Yes, your observations do help a lot. I need to focus in order to reach my buyers target. I think I can work very well with models, women in particular, so I probably should do my best to understand how to make the work useful to clients.

What do you mean by 'Spray & Pray' ?

not what you are looking for, its shooting without an aim, and pray to get sales..

OK, I see.. Not really, I don't shoot randomly, I like to shoot subjects that I like.

Food, traveling, portraits, mostly women

But portraits are not sufficient, I think models just looking pretty don't sell much, they need to communicate something.
