You have a great look, but these shots are not helping. The angles and cropping are odd, and I have a feeling you may not have been comfortable with your photographer because there's a slight look of discomfort in your face.
The good news is that, if you find a competent photographer with whom you feel comfortable, you will get great shots.

But if we get on a treadmill together you are going to get off first or I'm going to die. It's really that simple. I'm not going to be outworked." -Will Smith

Yes you do look a bit "stiff" in the turtle neck shot, second shot is more friendly, approachable and more likely to get you a call but, the angle makes you look a bit "standoff-ish" not "owning your space" and the crop is odd, try a flip horizontal in photoshop so you are facing in, sometimes this can help but most often a flip can make you look like some one else. As far as the comfort level, this may be a factor but what does an actor do on set when they are "un comfortable" with any number of people including a director or producer during filming? Try shooting outside on your next shoot, this should free you up, more alive, in the moment, spontaneous, also try shifting your body instead of changing expressions often. jd http://headshotsbyjd.com
