Is This Really Me?

Comment:
I don't know where you come from, but this picture somehow makes you look extremely American.. Very odd. Anyway, not a bad portrait, but the lighting is a bit erratic and the focus / sharpness could do with some improbement. You have quite a noticable face - perhaps for the next session of portraits zoom in a lot closer and get some eye contact with the camera? (6)

My Position in the World

Comment:
A pawn in Marietta? (or wherever that thing is placed) Oh well. Cool, but I think you should have aspired to make the whole pawn in focus. And we STILL don't know what you look like :) (5)

self portrait

Comment:
I think this image would have been better if you had moved the camera further back, moved it down, and zoomed in a little. THe barrel distortion (see the frame of the door) and the kight at the top are a little disturbing. For the setting and the pose alone, however, you are getting a 8 from me. Good work!

Self portrait with plants, grin and specs...

Very sharp indeed. Not sure about the sunglasses - I seem to be unable to attribute part of your personality to them.

Broken Mirror = 7 years bad luck

Comment:
Not sure about your frame - I think it looks a bit daft, to be honest. Very nice looking model though, and well framed. I would probably have considered doing something about the background, however. (7)

Hand on my heart

Comment:
Strictly speaking I don't think that is where your heart is. Not a bad idea, I suppose, but it just seems like nudity for the sake of it to me. Sorry. (3)

Not a bad try, but the legs in the back are somewhat disturbing, and the picture has too little light on it overall, unfortunately. (4)

Stuff Magazine - or - Playboy

Comment:
I find it difficult to believe that this picture has not been through some airbrushing. In any case, despite not particularly liking the picture it is tack-sharp and has a very close approximation to the kind of cover photos we are trying to take. 10.
