Barry,

I'm not expert on this (but I'm sure they'll show up to give you their opinion) -- BUT, the first shots look too dark and the ones at the end don't work b/c of the sunglasses, which are distracting. The ones in front of the brick wall are probably best, though the wall is also distracting.

Just my 2cents,
TAnya

I think you should use #22. The seventh shot distorts your head. And I feel like everyone assumes b/w shots are at least two years old since everyone is doing color these days. Just mhy opinion.

You're super cute!!

I like 18!


I go for the color.

Have fun with the more quirky ones on y our website and stuff. But for the headshot that you use for real auditions I like 18.

Hi Barry,

I'm not an expert either but if I had to choose I would go with #22.

The b/w pic are too dark, the ones at the end dont work because of the sun glasses. Your eyes are important, don't cover them up. And the middle ones have too wide of a shot but #22 shows more of you and less wall.

I don't think the color is that important but if your best shot is a color one, than that's a plus (only 'cause is what's being use now). A good b/w pic can work too. But the ones you have there are too dark.

Oh you know what? take a look at this video, to give you an idea of what to have in mind at the time of choosing a headshot.

Also check out episode #62 from Everything Acting Podcast

Hope that helps.

Go with #22, its so up close and personal. And really shows off your eyes. I think you stand out best in that one and I feel that it captured a moment of you. Your cute!

Best of luckSmiler

I do think color really is that important. Here's why. When I was assisting at a casting joint, every time we opened the mail, we assumed that B/W pix were old. All of the reputable photogs are shooting pretty much exclusively in color now and have been for over two years. So B/W looks dated. And trust me...when you're wading through the 20-100 headshots that arrive in the mail every DAY, the color pops out. As do the really professional shots. If you're sending out anything less than what you see on the Reproductions gallery, you just don't look like a pro.

Sorry if that's harsh, but part of my role here is to give it to you straight so that you don't waste time or money. Ya gotta have the right tools to compete.

Hi. Again, what a great site this is!

I recently moved to the UK where they are STILL using B & W headshots, unfortunately. My previous headshots were in color, but I grew my hair out and it was time for new ones. While doing the local research, I was advised by some reputable Industry Professionals here (CDs, Directors, and Producers) to get B&W headshots.

Could you please take a peek at my headshot (attached) and let me know if it would still be acceptable for US standards? I still would like to submit myself for projects in NY.

Thanks for your time.

Cheers,
~Misty
