headshots

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 LIKE these! I only see three pics at this time.

You have really expressive eyes. Interesting to hear you say you think your looks aren't "modern". Would it be a good thing to do some pictures in period clothes? Apart from the sweetheart neckline in the top pic, I mean, which makes me thinks of the 1950s. But something like 1920s or Edwardian or something?

I'd like this photographer to take my picture. I dislike most pictures of me.

And no,normally you just try to wear really neutral stuff so they can picture you in whatever. I pretty much never get cast in anything happening now. To some degree these headshots are an attempt to change that, but I don't think they will!

Ah, okay! Well, I don't need pics for anything special like this. But the photographer is awesome. :)

Now I see more! They just didn't all load.

I like 1 and 2, 5, and both suit pics pretty much equally. Actually, I rather like all of 'em. :D

They look like stills from a film. I guess that's the point. :D
