I'm looking for headshots to send off to agencies. I am, however, having trouble deciding on one! What would be my best choice? As a person, I am very smiley/optimistic but I am often cast in the "sexy, seductress" type roles. So I am conflicted on which one to choose!

In my opinion, the first or the third, the eyes seem the most alive and connected.

The first and last headshots have the most appeal. The catch-lights in the first image are placed the best. I'm not a fan of seemless/white backgrounds anymore as they are falling out of favor again (fickle industry) but if this is all you have, simply sharpen the image slightly and touch up the slight blemish on your left cheek. Good luck!

WHAT amazing energy!!!!! Smiler


But they are cropped too tight- need to see more of what I am sure is a good body!!!

That's more the thing these days.

Thanks for the input everyone! I have a question though- should I go with the one that I think really represents ME the best (the first one) and that is also the one that most everyone of my friends looks most like me and they like the best, or should I go with the one that shows more of my body but I don't look as "alive" in? I'm thinking of going with the first one...

Sorry, couldn't help myself. I was bored so I tinkered around with your headshot real quick. I was just curious how much more it had under the surface...

Good luck! Smiler

Wow! That really pops! It looks great! =] I really do think I like that one the best... I hope that agencies do as well :P And like I said, my photographer hasn't retouched anything at all, so I'm sure that she will spend a good amount of time retouching, but it is reassuring to see just how good they can actually look!

No problem, your photographer will be able to do a much better job since she has the raw files, I was just goofing around Wink Good luck!
