headshots

[rm]

I've not looked through all 505 shots yet. These are a few that grabbed me from the ones the photog said were his favorite.

Color is EXTREMELY unforgiving and these are unretouched. Just so you know. Comments on what says "me" and "hire me" welcome. Comments on things the retoucher will fix (everything from unevenness in my lipstick to stray hair to clothing wrinkles), while welcome, aren't needed; I pay people for that ;)

I have things to say about all of them and me and the process and what I see about me in them, but I don't want to share until I hear you all as I am a biasing force, although I will admit I'm in that "I'm ugly and weird" phase of this process (totally typical) because of how NOT MODERN my face is no matter what I do.

Also, there will be more posted later as I'll probably bounce around in a few directions in the process of making choices. And yes, I'll be choosing multiple photos for multiple purposes including a couple of headshots, a little special skills card (with dance and fencing photos) and various other things.

I am doing color because, despite kinda everything about me, film loves me and I love film.

I love the one of you in the black leaning against the wall. It seems to tell more of a story, somehow.

And OMGsuit!

I agree with the wall picture. It tells me there's depth, that there's a story that rm should be in.

The red shirt is an awesome color & nice shot, but, doesn't grab me as much.

#2 is very graceful -- rm looks like a dancer there to me.

White shirt doesn't do anything for me. It's a nice photograph, but, doesn't grab me if I'm looking for depth & story.

Both suit shots are nice because of the background. Again... there's a feeling of story. But the black leaning against the wall is far & away my favorite.
