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.

Date: 2010-02-09 03:17 am (UTC)I know nothing about what makes a salable headshot, but I feel like there's a negative emotion in the first two.
The suit photos are enigmatic and fabulous.
ETA: I just looked at them again after about 45 minutes, and my opinion of the first image has shifted. I saw it and immediately thought "SCI FI HEROINE YES." There's something Ivanova-meets-Janeway about it, but with the 2010's flip of how that character is allowed to be sexy. Does that make sense? I realize I might not be making sense.
Anyway, 1 is rad. Fierce, even.
