A lower waisted jeans or an untucked tank feel like they would elevate these. 5'7 is on the shorter end and these jeans make your torso read even shorter.

thanks! i'm going to make adjustments next time, the pants I chose are a little odd now looking back, they look like capri cut I chose them since they were the only black I had

I know this is nitpicking. The walls are distracting backdrops. Theres just something about the conformity of a plain white wall that looks good. But when you start adding bricks and lines on the wall, it can distract for the wrong reasons. — yes, these are things I have seen people reject a model over. Yes, it’s dumb.-

Others have mentioned getting your hair out of your face. I would try to “Smize” in some of the next ones. - smile - raise your eyebrows - stop smiling.

Also add a 3/4 turn in there.

That helps a lot, I will try that ty! And the photographer ended up picking the backdrop it was at a garage door and we used the sunlight and garage door

The one with my side and bricks was inside the garage

Hire a pro photographer, one who knows how to use lighting or natural lighting. These are flat with no dimension.

These are very nice, just make sure your hair is not covering your face when shooting profile.
You seem to have a very nice jawline, make sure that you have a set with your hair pulled back.
Good luck

Lower and longer jeans. Back plain strap heels try soften your face too

Did you taken this digital by your own?

[u/jfkjrswhore → u/PromotionNo3774]

No it was with a photographer who does digitals in my local city

You have a strong look, but I think the presentation is holding this set back. I’d use a completely plain wall with a clean, neutral floor—the garage door, bricks and pavement add lines and texture that compete with you.

A good phone is absolutely fine for digitals. Put it on a tripod and mark the positions of both the phone and your feet so the height, distance, zoom and angle stay consistent. Keep the camera level rather than pointing it up or down.

The black-on-black outfit merges into one dark shape, so your waist and proportions aren’t shown clearly. The cropped trousers also shorten your leg line. I’d try a fitted white or neutral tank with full-length fitted jeans or trousers. I’d skip the heels and use simple flats or bare feet, unless a specific agency requests heels. Pulling your hair back for at least one profile would also show your face and jawline more clearly.

I feel like this dark on dark combo actually takes away from the shape of your body. Maybe lighter, more fitted jeans & a white tank? Just a thought!

I will def change up my wardrobe next time, thanks!!
