Enough of you are in the biz or otherwise adjacent, so....

I'm really looking at doing new headshots. It must be done. And I'd like to do it before the end of the year (because I'd like to have them before I'm in LA, and the beginning of the 2010 is all travel all the time).

Commercial shot, legit shot -- probably want color for both this time (my current shot was done by Jinsey Dauk, whose work I like better in B&W than in color), and for them to be landscape (so more like a film screen, since that's mainly what I do). Ideally, also want someone who can deal with my gender-bendy stuff and do a third shot that's me in masculine garb, affect, as I'd like to have that for the occasions it does come up (and it does).

Photogs who won't try to make me pretty in a way I am not are very important (I hear a lot of "let's try to do a Julia Roberts thing with you" -- no, let's not). I'm striking, and I have large features. Minimizing those just puts me in competition with other women who actually look like that; I'm not demure and I'm not interested in faking it. I thought Jinsey did a fantastic job of capturing my poise and sorrow and humor, but I need something a little tougher and a little louder this time, because I'm a little tougher and a little louder this time.

Anyone have any NYC recs for me?

Man, I wish I were good at photography...but I only paint and draw, so that's the only thing I could offer you, and it would take a while. :-P However, if you're up for it, I could look at a whole bunch of pictures of you and try to compose a free-form gender-bendy portrait with you wearing masculine clothes. I'm kind of picturing this outfit, but more tailored and grown-up looking and probably without the musket. :-P

(I won't lie...I could just be thinking of myself here, since that is TOTALLY the outfit I wish I could wear. Don't mind me.)

End of story...I don't know any photographers in NYC off the top of my head. I don't know a lot of photographers, period. I wish I could help out more.
