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.

Whoever did the makeup did really well. Not too much retouching needed on the face.

I'd vote for the red shirt and the 2nd suit shot for your hire me shots. Great presence there.

Yeah, I'm 100% sure on that second suit shot. That is the bomb right there. The rest of it, I've no idea (it's going to be a headshot and then a fencing shot on one side and a dane shot on the other for a comp card). A lot of the rest of it is jsut stuff for my website to come.
