hmmmmmmm !!!! interesting.

what's intresting mean? lol

Throw out that "headshot" for starters. My pet monkey said you can look WAAAY better than that shot portrays.

that headshot is not a keeper

dude, you are in LA
Why are you wearing a scarf?

Ah, miss stone and faith, throwing out constructive criticism once again

The problem with this forum are the caddy women who seem to pop up, talk crap then run off without giving the OP any semblance of usable advice. They find it easier to just attack and run. When someone calls them out on their lack of insight or knowledge the claws come out. If you don't know what you're talking about, maybe you shouldn't comment!

Sorry, just tired of all the malicious behavior and passive aggressive nonsense some of the know-it alls spill from their pie holes around here when they don't know the first thing about headshot photography.

Now, back to the OP

Hi Selena,

The first impression is, yes, you are very pretty and can do much better here. The first concern is the angle of this shot, you're a little too crooked here, I have to move my head to really get a good look at you, I shouldn't have to do that. Do you have any shots with straighter posture?

My next concern are under your eyes, I would touch that up a little, soften and balance your skin. I think the lighting is nice but I'd bring out the levels a little and warm this up. As it stands the colors are very dull.

It's almost there, but your posture defeats the shot, everything else can be fixed in post, but without straighter posture the shot is moot. As for the scarf, who cares, it's not that distracting, that was a senseless comment someone else made that's completely irrelevant.

To answer your questions. There's no way to analyse your social class from a headshot, not sure I can answer that questions and not sure you need an answer to that. I would guess your age range around 24-30, again, post-work could do wonders here, but the posture kills this shot so let me se what else you have.

How cool are you? I would say you are very cool Whatever that means. Yes, you are attractive but again, the posture and post work needs improvement. Worldy? Sure, why not. Protag or antag? I would say you have a shot at both.

Good luck and keep at it!

wow thax for the help u think 24-30 lol im only 19! lol thanx so much for the help because i wasnt digging this guys photos at all i need a good respons so thanx!

this is what i look like

I'd really like to see a shot with straighter poster and framing, I wouldn't throw these out yet, let's see what else you have, it may be salvageable. There could be some photoshop options.

HERE we go AGAIN-----

Zampano, you can try and try and try all you want but you will not get a rise out of me- and if you are here to try and get any photography work either, I guarantee at this rate and with your mouth, you won't get much of that either.

Godspeed, man.

Selena- you can't use this shot and I will breakdown WHY-

- firstly, due to the angle we can't get a really good idea about what you actually look like

- secondly, the background, the clothing, the arm are all very distracting and your face gets sort of lost in the muddle of hair, clothes etc

- thirdly, it really needs some light retouching as you have dark cirles under your eyes and blemishes on your forehead

- finally, the sheer fact is like I said you can do better as you are attractive and need to show that off.


BUT you already said you didn't like the photo so that is good that you know you can do better.

See miss stone, all you had to do was post this in this first place, this is called constructive criticism, instead you chose to be rude, as usual. Sorry if I offended you but you need to check your behavior, it's not helping anyone. Thanks for reconsidering and posting something she can actually use (even though I disagree).

Good luck

And no, I'm not here to "get business" I'm here to contribute and offer help to those that need it since I'm actually experienced in this field. I have no agenda.

lmao
Caddy??


It's Catty, Zamp.

You are so epic fail.

And mine was constructive. I said she shouldn't wear a scarf in an LA headshot. it looks SILLY and most people i've known agree.

Edited: I'm not going to keep arguing, it doesn't help the OP. Good luck

OFFEND me? THAT is funny.

You make me LAUGH with your blatant hypocrisy and dribble.

You make comments about people and their behavior when all you do is make snide cracks at others yourself!!!


Seriously.
