I just got these new shot taken and I would love to get objective and unbiased opinions. These are not retouched yet and I haven't gotten any feedback from my agents yet. But I would love yours. I am looking for both a film and a commercial shot.

Thanks for looking!!!

The first few in that first outfit are all pretty unusable as that outfit is way too busy and distracting. All that jewelry and patterned fabric was making my head spin- and certainly not letting me notice your face. At the risk of sounding rude, which is NOT my intention- who chose your clothing? I can't believe the photographer would have not intervened suggested a less "busy" look. You should always choose no accessories and solid, muted colors so the focus is on your face. And the hand in the way in that one shot is just another no-no. If you absolutely have no more $$$ to spend, use the last two. But if you have the $$$ I would highly advise getting more done.

Those last two where you're wearing red are great! I agree with Miss Stone about the first four. Your turquoise jacket blends with the turquoise wall and the necklace takes my attention away from your beautiful face.

The ones in red are certainly good enough- I just think they are a tad glamour studio-ish is all. And I would ditch the hoop earrings. Hey, you can blame Eldorado for making me nitpicky LOL!!! Big Grin Good luck.

Yeah I agree with you, Miss Stone. These shots were actually taken for a model comp card which is why the first 4 are so "fashiony" instead of headshot like. I was hoping I could get away with it but I think you're right.

As for the red top shots I feel they are too class photo-y and kinda "green" and I'm not green so I think I need to actually take new headshots instead of trying to pass these off.

I like the first 4 but as model lifestyle shots not headshots. Agree?

I don't think those last two make you look green at all. There's something about those two that really get my attention. If I walked by them, I would definitely turn my head for a second look.

I don't ususally reply, but you have an amazing smile and really great eyes. I think these could catch my attention better. Do you have anymore?

Do not like the first one and the second ones need more, but could be used. I just think there is a better headshot out there for you.

You have beautiful, almost haunting eyes...I feel like there's a lot more potential there that these pictures and lighting weren't able to achieve.

Totally agree. I do like the turquoise vibe for a model comp. But I'd love to see the right photographer capture your wow factor in a headshot.
