I'm going for the doctor-lawyer-CEO type for theatrical, which of these?

Thanks!

HI Billy! These are all great shots. This one is my favorite- the pose and the background may be distracting for some but I find the pair to be unique. The expression and styling really hit the type you are going for perfectly. The only thing that bugs me is that your sleeve looks threadbare and is a little distracting. Retouching, perhaps?
Best of luck!

You have a great look, but I agree with the previous poster. Your left sleave looks like it got burnt.

There's something photography wise that bothers me too. They photos don't look real and all look over photoshopped.

Who did these?

This looks like David Zaugh's work.

These are all great shots. The only thing that bothers me is the high amount of sharpening applied that caused the tweed and your hair to go moire patterns. This is due to resizing for the web. I'm sure the origionals look fine. The sleeves are due to depth of field and the patterns on the upper sleeves.

I like this shot.

You are well connected, and confident.

If, as dadinwestchester indicates, the original does not have the issue on the sleeves, you're good to go!

Good luck,

Ron

David Zaugh's work for sure!

I agree that they look overly sharpened on the web and this shot should be cropped but they are all solid, best of luck!

Yes they are David's. And these are from the web so no issues on the originals. And no Photoshop as far as I know, as raw as they can be.

Nobody likes any of the others, just this one?

Thanks for the valued and knowledgeable opinions!

I think you'll get a better response if they are all on the same page as it's tough to comapre them when we have to navigate back and forth. Here goes...

In my opinion the expression is pretty much the same in all the shots. They are all nice, but other than a slight angle change and wardrobe change they are all, sort of "stern" the very last one is my favorite because it has an approachability to it. I might even change my mind about the cropping...I would crop it slightly so we aren't looking into your crotch. This shot works the best IMO.
