These are some shots from my most recent shoot. Looking to use these on my actors access and for printed headshots. Which do you think are appropriate for commercial and theatrical? Opinions and criticism appreciated. DO THEY POP? All shots Travistanner.com

I like how you can change your looks by changing your facial hair styles.

I like the intensity of the second pic (the one in the dark brown leather jacket) -- just wish it wasn't cut off at the top.

With the other pics......not crazy about the outfits, some are kind of distracting, IMO.

I like your range a lot! I love character-y shots in general.

In the first one you are the spitting image of my 7th grade teacher Mr. Meltzer. He was dorky and kind of hilarious and I think having an affair with my English teacher.

I don't mind your head being chopped off in the second one. I think it is a very striking picture and you're bald...it's not that difficult to imagine what the rest of your head looks like...it just focuses on the face. Very striking.

The ex-con look is good, though I think it could be even better and more dramatic with different lighting.

Also really like the quirky clean-shaven cool-guy one. With that one I see you as a better-looking movie-version of Mystery, that douchebag who has that awful VH1 show The Pickup Artist.

I don't really care for the last one...

Hope that helps!

These are great character shots! The first one is the most striking for me, personally. Great for professor, doctor, lawyer, professional types. I must say that you have the most versatile facial hair I have ever seen!!

Wow! I'm extremely impressed your range of emotions and characters. I immediately thought of you in a movie in the first picture. And I was shocked and happy to see even more of your theatrical treats. You definitely have lots to offer! I'm glad you Your age range is very flexible as well! Well done!

WOWWW! Thanks for input, ALL of you. I'll leave this up for a couple more days. This gives me plenty of ideas about how to market and what possibilities may exist. The one issue that I'm going to run into is making sure that I look like each headshot at any given time which is impossible. I usually look like shot 2 and 4. Thanks again to all of you.

Every single one of these serves a purpose, that's awesome! My only concern is the lack of a true commercial shot. That last one was close, but the beard will hurt you. Each one of these is for a distinct audition, but if you needed a general sitcom/commercial shot, you'd be in trouble, in my humble opinion. What else you got? I'd love to see more smiles with a very subtle look, maybe even some brighter colors.
