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 07:02 am (UTC)I imagine that the one of you leaning against the wall (5) sits weirdly with you. It's not a look I associate with you, but it's fabulous. It's sophisticated and modern and feminine. I love it.
The first one ... It makes me feel ok about being a stranger in this place. And I think that's good. It's also mildly unsettling, and that's good, too.
The bottom suit - this is good. It is very good. The one above it makes me think a little too much of Galt. Which makes me uncomfortable in a not as good way. You just look so young and idealistic and staring out into the future.
Your clothes in the third one are perfect. Truly truly perfect. The face is too washed out, but black and white would fix it perfectly.
