Many people ask me if I have ever thought of modeling. I have the confidence to think that I could be a model. But I was just wanting all of your opinions.

Check out my profile for some pics and if you would like for me to upload more photos for a better observation of me, then please do ask. I want the most honest accumulated opinion from you all.

THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH....in advance!

Well, I cannot see your physical shape in any of the photos. Additionally, I cannot tell what the angles of your face are. Your face is distorted by the closeness of the wide angle lens you are holding. That is one reason why these popular hand held point and shoot self portraits are bad for portfolios. They radically distort your face.

You asked for honest. I honestly cannot gauge your look from the images you have provided. You say you have confidence...well, hand the camera to one of your friends and let them take the pictures for you.
:cantlook: Have faith that the universe will unfold as it should :cool:

Thank you so very much for your honest opinion. If I can find some pictures of myself from a further distance than arm's length, then I will post them very soon...otherwise, I will need to have a friend take some photos of me.
I think I might have some senior pictures that I had taken by a photographer. That was little over a year ago, but I haven't changed dramatically since then.

oh..and...thanks for the knowledge about the wide angle lens....I have never noticed much of a difference between my photos and my actual self...neither has anyone else...and I still don't notice much of a difference.(but you did say that it was a radical distortion)

I've just uploaded a few more photos.
One was taken by a friend during a stop at at shop on my vacation/trip to California.
The others were taken as my Senior pictures for high school, but they lack the correct colors due to my scanner. It has never been very good at all with grasping the correct colors.

Let me know any further information or knowledge that you have on these.
And my original post.

It's better, but the jacket is still hiding your body shape, and it's only 3/4 length rather than being full length.

It would also help us to give you better feedback if you had a model profile rather than a member profile, as model profiles show the important stats such as height etc.

The other thing I'll recommend is that you get pictures showing different moods or expressions. Using the internet for modelling is almost inevitably going to be harder for guys than it is for the girls, due to the hobbyist element, so you have to work harder to get recognised as being "special". Just remember that modelling is more about selling something (be it clothing, a product, or an activity) rather than about selling you unless you're talking about glamour, so try to show that you'll be able to engage the viewer.

True, your portfolio is about selling you, but only in the sense that it's showing off your skills and abilities to a prospective employer.
