rmI'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 04:05 am (UTC)First off, it's difficult for me to choose a favorite, much less cull it down to say, two.
As an overall picture, I like the second, and the fourth. The third comes in a very close, well, third!
For headshot material, going off my acting coach's insistence that "it's all in the eyes" were I to pick a single one for a headshot based solely on that advice, I'd have to go with #4. I think the eyes give something that grabs my attention, as well as the other advice of "always have your character have a secret" and that seems to show in the eyes in that photo. Of course, to go with all this, is the advice I've received that the headshot these days should be VERY tight on the face, to the point where they are cropped down so far as to not show the entire head anymore.
I'm VERY interested in your self assessment of these pictures, as well as your reaction to my comment if possible!
