What do you all think it has gotten me background work on soaps and some print work but what do you all think? And who would you recommend in la for headshots and modeling pictures?

Thanks

This is a decent headshot. I think you could have used a little powder to keep the shine down on your face and the image could be cropped a little tighter. Otherwise it looks good.

You're only getting background work? What kind of acting training or experience do you have? What does your resume look like?

I love your look.

Kind of reminiscent of a young Michael Madsen.

Anyone who's read my posts knows of my aversion to shooting outdoors. Here is yet another good example... the outdoor location (open shade) has caused you to blend into the background, the reflected sunlight making your eyes more squinty than mine are!

A great headshot could transform your entire career.

Crop it portrait. That empty space to the photo right is annoying. Especially when putting it online, you want it PORTRAIT.

So you all for the most part seem to like the headshot except robert kim you seem to like how it is styled but would prefer it be taken in the studio.

I do agree with you to apoint my eyes do not naturally open wide but i find locations pics more interesting to the viewer.

It seems to me from what i have learned that the styling of a shoot is so important what you are wearing does not matter if it is a commercial shot modeling shot theatrical shot it is all about the styling and what you exude from your body and i guess to a lesser extent where it is taken location or studio btut hen again some studios can make it look location there are some really cool studios.

How would you all recommend i reshoot my next headshot this is a couple years old i look the same but feel i can do better

Who would you recommend for that money shot in los angeles?

You look bored and sleepy, to be honest. You have a great look and can do better- no doubt. BUT this is definitely not a bad shot. You wouldn't believe many of the shots people post here!!
FYI poster Destinatus just posted his new shots in this section. I was very impressed. They are by Bradford Rogne and you need to take a look.
The thread is called "My turn! Which headshot should I pick?" They are really good.

I havve looked at bradfords work and to be honest love his fashion work better then his headhots but thats just me.

What kind of roles can you see me submitted for with this headshot.I guess sitcoms are out of the question with this pic darn i was so hoping to be a guest star on how i met your mother

I would try for speaking roles on soaps- maybe some lawyer or cop roles? Are you SAG? Are you in LA or Kentucky? How is your accent?

Thanks for bringing up the point of "interesting locations." I've wanted to comment on that subject for a long, long time.

First off, I would like to bring attention to the major difference between FASHION HEADSHOTS and HEADSHOTS FOR ACTORS.
"Fashion" headshots are all about selling the clothes. "Acting" headshots are all about selling the actor. It's that simple.

Fashion is about selling FANTASY, and exotic locations always help promote that. Have you ever seen a fashion photo where the subject is posing naked on an tropical beach, or has the Eiffel Tower in the background, or is standing next to an expensive luxury car? It may look great, but they're selling the PLACE and the PRODUCT, not the PERSON. Therein lies the difference. For an actor, I strive for just the opposite -- by always using plain, clean backgrounds that will never steal focus or upstage the actor.

You don't want the casting director to say, "Hey, nice LOCATION!!!"

P.S.--

I would classify you as an Character/Leading Man, Patrick.

To be clear, I meant soaps AND cop shows too, not just soaps- i.e. NYPD Blue, CIS, SHARK etc.

Now that you have seen what i look like tell me what you think of my commercial spec i did for t-mobile it is on my myspace so turn the music off and watch and give me your opinion

It is down a bit on the right.

Thanks
