I am going to send my headshots out to some agents and would like to know which pic, or a postcard with 4 or 5 pics, would be the best one/ones to send. I am SAG, from childhood, but haven't been in the business since I was 5 years old. Your help is apprciated!

010 i think shows the most about you. Your smiling so it shows you have a good smile and nice teeth. You can see your ear, which means you dont have like elf ears or anything.

People sometimes don't smile or use hairstyles to cover blemishes and things like that. This kinda shows you have nothing to hide.

Combine that with your more serious looks with the hair down and you have a winner

OMG, you are gorgeous!! I don't love the shots that show too much cleavage. I really like 005 and 007.

026, 010 or 009, 005, and 003 all catch my eye. You definitely have a range of looks.

Thank you all so much for your input! What age range do you think I can play, if I may ask?
Thanks!
Gina

My opinion for what it's worth LOL. 16 to 24 would be the age range I think you could play. Put in the end it's up to you and your agent.

016
009
007
(I wish the hair was a little more off your face in some of these, but there might be a way to retouch it a little)
005

Hi, Gina. As an agent, I don't like to pick out headshots unless I've met the actor but I'm going to take a shot because you asked and I've got the time. So here goes.

I love 1, 2, 6, 7, 9, 11, 12, 19, and 22.

What you should do now is what I tell my clients to do. Print them as 4x6 prints. That way, you can really study them carefully. For film/tv, all you need are two good shots. That's it. And that's what you'll send out to guys like me. I'm not a commercial agent but I'm sure it works the same way in that world - except you really want to use at least one shot where you're smiling and showing off your teeth.

And let me be honest with you - these are great shots. The photographer did a terrific job. In a year, you can pick two different shots from the same shoot and try a different approach.

So congrats and good luck!

I think there are two 007's---I like the second of the sevens and number 009 is great for a younger look. Good luck!
