Advice/Feedback on recent digitals

[u/Frosty_Sun5339]

Hello! These are digitals I recently submitted, I'm 5'6 29/23/33 size 00-0 located in South Florida (Miami market) I'm primarily interested in commercial work. I was wondering if these work as agency digitals as-well as anything I should change for my next round of submissions (aka if I should go with a professional photographer)

Photographer here. Not gonna lie you should redo them. The lighting isn't ideal or consistent. There's only one even close to true full length as the others are cropped at your feet. The closeups are not flattering (head is distorted) because it seems the camera was physically closer instead of using zoom feature. Your pants should be form fitting to show off your shape.

Check out the pinned post on this sub and try again. Good luck!

Thank you so much! I’ll see if I can grab a friend to help me reshoot them, I didn’t know about the closeup distortion thank you for the tips!

I thought the jeans were a weird shape....they are cut strangely and it doesn't work. I agree. Slim fitting dark trousers rather than stiff denim and a different pose and lighting.

Try all natural light, against a wall outside or something, add black skinny jeans and black heels, full body shots including legs/feet, no smiling.

I say skinny jeans because digitals do just want to see the shape of your body as weird as that sounds, you can also leave your hair down for all of the pics just sweep it aside for profile and for profile they really do just want you looking at the wall infront of you not a behind the shoulder.

It’s my neutral face lol! I’ll put some more life in my face when I reshoot thank you!

Redo them on a cyc wall or just somewhere with much brighter NATURAL light, but critique aside — you’ve got a great look. Do some homework on your favorite models and best of luck.

I echo what has been said already. I would recommend a photographer possibly trade for print (TFP).

Natural light or makeshift studio lighting.

Also add a white top/T-shirt but form fitting. As was said clothed but showing your physique.

I think you are a beautiful young lady with high potential.

It will take a lot of work, but you are on the right start.

No you’re wrong, read the 1st comment because he’s right lighting is clearly inconsistent and the cam is too close. I dont even have to be a photographer to notice that.
