my thoughts on the previously posted pics -- don't read if you haven't looked yet

[rm]

I keep going back and forth on the first one. Tragic or alien? Tragic and alien? I need to shut up before I write myself a TV show. Oh, wait.... Anyway.... tragic/alien -- are either of those things good? I should also note that this photo was literally the first shot of the day. It might be the one. I don't know. It's a strange photo.

The second one -- it's a great pic, right? I feel like it says, "I should be a cabaret singer." I am NOT a singer.

Third one -- not a headshot, was never meant to be, but I do like it. Will wind up on my website in some form.

The brick fucking shirt -- god, I hate my hair there. I've found a few others in the set that I like a lot though. It's a good shot and represents me pretty well and are more accessible. But I don't know... they don't wow. But the wow me is so scary (see photo 1 again), that maybe gentler is a good way to go?

Black top, leaning against the wall -- I have no idea who that woman is. NONE. I want to like it more. I don't like it AT ALL.

The suit pics -- EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM IS FANTASTIC. Actually there's a bunch that blow, but all the ones where I'm STANDING ON A TABLE ON A ROOF are awesome. It's both unsurprising and a little confronting to me to see. It's also sort of hilarious: "Here, stand on this wobbly fucking table, on the edge of this really windy fucking roof in sub-zero temperatures, and pretend that doesn't make you feel like you're about to die."

I love both the blue ones hardcore. I love the first one more, because the lack of a smile makes the overt emotion in the eyes so powerful. I want to know who she is and what her story is. And the blue makes your skin look so beautifully clear!

The red shirt one I find sweet and inviting, like I'd want to come over for dinner, but not powerful.

It's funny you said the black one is unfamiliar, because it is sort of an outlier. It's gentler than the "power" shots, but unlike the red shirt or the third shot, it's sultry rather than warm. To me, she's saying "I know what you're looking for, are you ready for it yet?"

The suits are, of course, wonderful. The first one's more boyish, though, and the second more manly, and I think I prefer it for that reason. I'm looking forward to seeing the rest of those, though, because I actually find them less interesting in terms of lighting and setting. Your face does well with some obvious light and shadow, and it isn't in those shots.
