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 love the fiery orange tone in the background and your expression. The one in black, leaning against the wall is indeed a story waiting to be told. There is so much there in that photo. I like the last suit picture, it exudes a different kind of confidence, but there is also a - softness isn't the right word, I don't think, but something like it, compassion, maybe - in your eyes.
Thank you for sharing these with us. I haven't read your thoughts yet and am looking forward to that.
Forgive my rambling.
ETA: In all that, I forgot to mention how much I love that brick color on you! Such a great color!
