another shot....what do you think about this one!

I like the shirt. The color really pops. But if this is for commercials, a smile with some teeth might have been better.

Still not your 'it" shot.

This is a fine "picture", however as a professional headshot in the Los Angeles market it falls short.

In my opinion, the lighting is the main problem. It makes your photo look more like a snapshot than a professional headshot. Shots taken outdoors in this kind of flat light rarely work.

This type of outdoor lighting usually ensures a lack of contrast and keeps the eyes from popping.

Based on this shot and the others you have posted, I think you will continue to get the same feedback if you continue to try with these types of photos.

You are a nice looking guy and if you spend some money on a reputable photographer you won't regret it...invest!
