 Your portfolio is, with all due respect, completely off-putting. Why are you working with completely distorted images?

 

To show portait retouching, you need to start with a proper photo, not a distorted, already overprogressed mess!

Hi, Junaid, 

 

I would would agree with Petra on the images. I would take a look at those and be sure they are at the right dimensions for uploading to your Pwork portfolio. Also consider raising your rates. If you market yourself as a professional your rate should mirror that. 

 

Also, 7 proposals is not a lot.  I sent about 40 proposals before I got my first job. Be patient and apply to jobs that are consistent with your specialization to start.

 

Good Luck.
