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.

*** 3 the upper background needs to be pulled away from the hair
**** 4 is very nice but watch the skin tone
** 5 very "sweetheart" but the expression doesn't match the pose
** 6 doesn't engage; smile doesn't match aloofness
**** 7 best of the lot.

One has to meet the casting director halfway by blending an honest depiction of one's self with a number of appropriate archetypes. This is so that someone who is spending maybe five minutes on a flip-book of fifty people doesn't have to use too much imagination to see one in the role in question.
