Hi, hi, hi. I am planning on using one of these two headshots for submitting for film, and would love some opinions on them. The first has been retouched, the second, not yet. Thanks!

Headshot 1

Headshot 2

Shots by Lisa Hancock, NYC, 2008.

Both nice shots.

The first shot will work for certain submissions, but you seem a little less relaxed in it.

The 2nd shot is much more approachable and you can use it for a wider range of roles.

The degree to which you are tilted in the first one bothers me a little. I think if you rotate it so that the eyes are even horizontally you'll seem a little more engaging.

Cool, thanks guys. I've never thought about angle idea...it does make a difference.

Also, maybe think about cropping off a bit of the bottom of the shot (or a bit of photoshopping to close the gap). I am not a fan of looking down into an open shirt -- draws the attention away from your face.

yeah that shirt just open too much...

stricly from a professional standpoint, the shirt makes it appear that you are missing your left breast.
