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 08:04 am (UTC)The black and white is very, very not modern. I keep wishing it really was black and white. It just looks odd in colour.
I love the lighting in the red one and it's a good picture, though the one right below it has more character somehow. they are both good, but the one right below has something special in it, I can't put into words.
The suit ones seem more "you," the way I imagine you when I read your entries. Of those, I like the top one better as the second seems a touch strained.
I have no input on what will actually get you hired for things, as I suck at that sort of thing. Aesthetically, i thing the top suit picture and the one just above it with the cocked head and the wood paneling are my favorite.
