rmI'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: 2010-02-11 08:40 am (UTC)After seeing the first one, all the others struck me as being somehow trite. And I realised it was because you are smiling in the others. Your beauty is not in your smile. And yes, I use the word beauty advisedly. Not pretty, but striking, and with a great deal of countenance, to use an expression my grandmother would have used.
Somewhat more considered thoughts:
I like the first one and the final three best. Not fond of the one with all the white in the background. I very much like the one of you in the black top. I like the composition, the way you look in it, and also it seems to capture what I know of you from reading your journal.
The two of you in a suit are both compelling, and I can't decide which I like better. I'd be very curious to see any more of the suit photos.
Hope the above is of some use!
