Honestly, none of these really rock my world. The first and last one nearly half your face is chopped off, the others the way your are posed and leaning in is really awkward and unnatural looking and most of them are over-exposed. These look rather cheap, to be quite honest, sweetie and you can definitely do better. That's also a really busy shirt you're wearing and solid, muted colors are usually best for headshots as the focus should be on your face. But you're cute and if these are all you have and $$$ are tight, I would say the one third from the bottom for commercial use and only if you cropped it. The one underneath is okay enough too for a theatrical shot again, if you crop it. But please save up for more ASAP as these don't do you justice! Good luck!!

idk i think a lot of people on this site dosnt know what there talking about, i got my headshots takin by one of the best in l.a., kenneth dolin, an he shot over 300 picture, i just picked 6 out of them, I went to this guy because actually Emily Osment reffered him, and also entertainment tonight named him the go to guy for head shots. But I can understand about the the sweater vest. Is there any one else that has any comments on choosing 2.

I know, but I dont really feel like paying for more headshots at the moment. I will post up my other head shots, theres about 50 other ones, i just didnt put them up, but out of these ones which one would you consider for a commercial agent?

If you know this, then why did you have a go at me AND go so far as to tell someone how good he is in another post????? Pretty bad to refer people to someone who didn't do a very good job and whose shots you are not overly happy with!! Not cool.

I know who he is. I have seen his work before. Been around a bit, ya know!! Roll Eyes I would never recommend him, especially now I have seen these shots. They are not awful- but they are sure not great and there's way better out there.

I understand some of what your talking about, but a lot of people have different opinions, an i'm not saying you have a bad one, but i do admit mine arnt perfect, but i think it was more of me, because i looked at a lot of photos an he took some great headshots.

NOT crazy about any of these either.

Photo 1: Your head and face is chopped.
Photo 2 and 3: Weird angles
Phote 4: Where's your body? It's important that your upper torso is at least visible so agents/cd can get a fair judgement of your body type.
Photo 5-7: I'm more interested in argyle
Photo 8: Again, your face and top part of your head are chopped off.

Of those posted, you only have two options. Commercial headshots show teeth. One has you at a weird angle(#3) and the argyle one(#6) is distracting.

I have about 50 other ones, I will post more up, but even after they are edited, you don't think any agents would except them, because I got a call back from an agent when I had my older shots and it looked like a high school picture, and these are way better. =/
