S.A.M.

What's your opinion on my headshot...I'm retaking them because I'm not too hapy with most of them...anything I should change? Would you consider this headshot if submitted to you, if no and why?

Thanks

I am not Secret Agent Man and I am also going to make a very harsh comment that is not about the actual quality of the headshot but a hair issue. You need to lose the big boofy white mane thing you have going on. It is important to keep up with current trends and be a progressive actor. My guess from that photo is that it was taken in the 80's. This is probably not the case but I do hope you get my point. That hairdo will hurt you. You need a softer, more flattering, more NATURAL and less harsh hair color(like a champagne blonde) with some well-placed highlights that will add movement and make you look younger. I am blonde and I too loved the white blonde thing. But it just aged me, got me NO work and I had to change it. I would also like to see your hair more tousled without the boof and layered, maybe parted in the center. That is what is in right now and would do wonders for you. Ditch the Anna Nicole thing.

Haha..I do happen to agree with you. The hair dresser went a little crazy with the hot rollers, my hair is usually pin straight, but I may actually be going back to my natural color which is dark brown. But I'm bot happy with this shot at all. Thanks for your honesty!

I think a soft brown with highlights a la Jennifer Lopez would also look good. I hate her but her hair looks great! It's all about HIGHLIGHTS. They add movement and look amazing on film. Gotta have them with any color hair. the quality of the actual photo is not actually bad at all. You have an expression on your face versus just "staring" at the camera which is where I used to go wrong and many still do.

Miss Stone makes great points.

Please get headshots that look like you at your natural best. From what you've said, it sounds like that's straight, brown hair.

You're a brunette, your look is great, own it!

Good luck to you.

Best,

Ron

I think you have a beautiful face, but I think you should go a bit closer to your natural color. A light brownish color with gold highlights if you enjoy being blond, or dark brown if you want to go back to your natural look.
