hey guys so im going to send out some headshots to theatrical agencies!! can you please let me know which one would be best, or do you think i should take different ones?? thank you!!!!!!

Wow, you have a great look!!!!!!


BUT this shot would only be great if you were in a print ad for "Twilight" or some such but not for use as a headshot. It is a very stylized shot, with no warm tones and lighting and so on. You are pale with an almost articial hue to your skin, shot with too much black clothing and the equally black, quite distracting backdrop.

Is this the original? If not, could you post it please?

heyy thanks and yah thats what i thought so too!!
you can look at other ones here just click on my photos!! thanks!!

I tired to find your photos on myspace but could not. This photo is good but not for theatrical is right. You may wish to go on imdb.com and see many of the theatrical photos which are a bit more neutral in the expression whereas here you look almost seductive like a model. And black is a no no for most people to wear. How about one of your other favorite colors? Green??
Good luck.

I love the smiling one with the green background- WOW!!!

I would send that off to the commercial reps for sure.

Not sold on any of your theatrical looks- sorry.

thanks i already have a commercial agent, but im looking for theatrical agencies, do you guys know any good ones photographers, that do a good job with a reasonable price??

hey you live in OC like me I agree with miss stone the green background and your smile looks great! And your default looks good for theatrical!

Your look dead in this picture as well. I'm sure you'd look fantastic in the better light.

thanks im going to get new headshots lol have a question??? do you guys recommend wearing your contacts when taking pictures, or it docent make a difference

You're look is good, I like your eyes.

This looks like a promotional poster for gothic/dark movie than a headshot.

The lighting is not good in this shot. Your skin tones make you look very unhealthy, and you are blending into the background.

The good news is you've got a great look ... and, from the shots on myspace, you can connect with the camera. Photographed well, you will get a great shot.

Good luck.

Not sure if anyone brought it up but this shot could work with stronger post work. Someone really desaturated this, that's why the skin looks this way. The light isn't great but this could work if cropped a little, level adjustments and tweaking that saturation. He dropped it almost to a b/w shot. He was trying for a hip, withdrawn youth effect but he went way overboard. You just look unhealthy. I think it's salvageable however.

Good lcuk!

First thing that comes into my mind is a hot vampire in this shot. You are sizzling hot but the saturation in the picture makes you look stale. I appreciate the contrast and clarity. It serves as a better commercial shot than a theatrical one. You have strong features and you could deliver strong shots. Just give yourself more options to choose from. Perhaps, the best is just a few shots away. ;P
