Hey! I've recently done this shoot to get some plain, simple, natural looking images.
There was no MUA, no stylist, just me and the photographer. Very little to no editing.
We ended the shoot with more sensual/erotic pictures, but anyway...
I'd like to select a few pictures for my portfolio, but I'd like to get some opinions from outside.
Here's a link to the gallery, there're around 60 pictures. Lingerie, implied nudity, nudes:

I'd appreciate it if you could copy and paste names of the photos you liked the most.
That would help me immensly.
P.S. You'll see I have some self harm scars, I'm OK with them being visible. I know it doesn't look super nice and everything, but... life happens sometimes.

>life happens sometimes
WTH that is not a "life happens sometimes" it was a choice. DO NOT glam that shit up, she has problems get her help. The self harm scars kill all the images. Number of photos I like 0.

This is not a thread to talk about self harm. I do take it seriously and I'm working on getting better. I haven't harmed myself in nearly two months. But while the scars are there, I don't see much point in Photoshoping them... I'm not aiming to look like girls from magazine covers.

Thanks :) So kind of you...
Not sure if OP is really the model or if this is a troll thread. I'll comment briefly now, and if it is not a troll, will respond more thoughtfully later.
The photos are overall very good. Photog has a good eye and got the technical details correct, so no distracting exposure/white balance fails.
I like the black outfit much more, it works with the fair skin and white background, and feels more feminine and sensual. Nothing feels tacky or smutty. That is actually pretty difficult to accomplish.
There was one I noticed that was essentially a closeup of some thigh scars. Nothing to be ashamed of some scars, but I see no need to zoom in specifically on them. If they're in a shot, so be it, but it shouldn't be the main focus. Try to work around them rather than feature them. Doesn't mean photoshopping, but just posing at different angles, etc.
If this is a real thread I'll list specific photos that are the best, later on.

This is a real thread :) I'm just trying to choose a couple of pictures for my portfolio, where I already have a lot of fashion and beauty work. I want to add a few more simple, naturally looking pictures for a change. Just a different style that I'm not so used to... :)

If this is a real thread, then offer a timestamp photo. Pretty easy.
If this is really the model in these pics, I'd be glad to offer some substantive critique of the photos.

Just buy a dog collar and shock yourself if you need an endorphin rush.

Now, looking through the gallery I do think your posing needs a little bit of work. A lot of poses come over as quite stiff, rather than relaxed or playful or in motion or anything else.
Maybe the shoot called for it, but I think it's not what photographers want to see most.
