I was thinking of getting new headshots since my look has changed slightly and I wanted more brighter shots. However, I want to know if these shots are any good and worth keeping.
Here's a link to a photobucket album with a few headshots in it. The password is sweetnlow.

I would definitely invest in new shots, I think you can do much better. In all of them the lighting is flat and isn't doing anything for you.

The two standing shots in the green t-shirt are the strongest of the lot and the only ones I would really use (however I would crop them as the angle isn't the most flattering.

The very last smiling shot with the black sweater over the green t shirt is useable as well.

The outdoor shots on the steps, forget it...the same with the ones that look like you are on the kitchen floor.

I hope that helps.

the second in the green shirt is not good for your body
go for the first

I'm assuming when you say that your look has changed that you are probably wearing your hair differently. If that is so I'd definitly invest in some new shots. Having bangs the way you do in these pictures is a pretty striking and specific look and kind of takes the attention away from the rest of the picture. Regardless of what you are wearing, you kind of look the same. I would have liked to see some edgier theatrical shots with your old hair. I'm reminded of Christina Ricci in Speed Racer (awful movie.)



Best of luck!

I don't think these are bad at all. However my concern is with the smile, it feels artificial. if you do run out and get more headshots take this tip along with you:

The smile is in the eyes! A genuine smile comes from within and stimulates the muscles in the entire face, including around the eyes. An artificial smile is generated without emotion or internal dialogue. This leaves you with limited muscle reaction around the lips and a lifeless smile. Look at any photo you have where your smile is the real deal. Notice how the eyes light up and every part of your face is alive but natural.

Most professional actors that come through our door simply close their eyes for a moment between each exposure and react internally to something funny, maybe a joke they've heard, or that one uncle who makes them laugh at reunions. The secret is to giggle when you open your eyes. Vocalizing a brief chuckle stimulates your internal memory functions and triggers a natural smile, every time! Try it, you'll be surprised. This may feel awkward at first, but it's the sure fire way to get you loose, open and smiling with your eyes!

Good luck
