There's the link to my contact sheets. I am going for 18TPY and I hope my ingenue, happy, tropical loving personality shows in these pictures. I personally like #'s 0132, 0097, 0016 and 0009.

Can you give me some feedback? Which do you think would work best as my headshot?

Thanks so much everyone <3 !

Cute girl!

Do you think you have enough variety? No problem there.

However, this is a classic case of QUANTITY over QUALITY. This photographer spent a lot of quality time with you, but unfortunately his/her quality wasn't up to the task. This is a lighting and styling issue, totally. The hair, the makeup, the lighting, the things that make a headshot look professional were completely missing. Essentially, what you have is a ton of photos to choose from, with none of them particularly good.

When this photographer's technical expertise catches up with their desire to please, you'll have a great combination.

I guess pigs do fly, I actually agree with Robert on something Smiler

I think you're an adorable young lady and deserve better than what you walked away with here. In addition to what Robert already mentioned I also found most of these to lack the energy needed to really pop you out in the shot. For lack of better words you seem insecure in at least 2/3 of the shots. Was there a problem connecting with your photographer? Just curious, you have that uncomfortable energy going here.

Anyway, get back out there and find a photographer that understands lighting, you'll thank yourself for it Smiler

When I require your agreement on anything, Zampano, pigs will indeed fly.

Ego can be an ugly thing, sir, particularly the way you use it.

You mentioned a truce between you and I awhile back. I'd remind you to keep it.

Never interact with me or mention my name on this message board again.

Wow dude, that was intended to be a nice statement. You turned into something derogatory. I should have expected as much from you.

Grow up.

I recall a post where Miss Stone warned: "Whenever Zampano attaches a Smiling Face to his post, that means, "F**k you."

I don't think Back Stage readers enjoy your petty, ongoing commentary on my advice anymore than I do. Subtly isn't one of your virtues, sir. Have you any idea of how ugly professional jealousy looks?

Honor your own agreement to end your schoolyard bickering by not mentioning my name again... dude.

P.S.-- Please excuse the unexpected departure from your post, xtinagetstome. This needed to be said.

While I agree with those above me, choosing from these I'd say 16 or 38 :-)

Wow, I hope you don't lose control like this with your clients. Your behavior is unacceptable and rude. I was trying to be nice and you blew up like a maniac. I'll be on my way now but seriously, Robert, you need to relax a little. No one is attacking you or out to get you. And your insinuation that I'm "jealous" is absurd considering the vastly different work we both do.

I'll let this go now. Take care, sincerely. Smiler

I love picture 16, 20, 9980. You're very pretty and I love how each of the picture has something different to offer (you've got a lot to offer, lots of expressions) and that's a plus. However, I do agree that the photographer has to work with you and enhance the quality of the shots. The quality looks like they're just taken with a normal digital camera. Perhaps, discuss this with your photographer or get an exceptional photographer. If you're definitely using them for the first time, I suggest to make it your best because opportunities just come and go. Smiler

I thought you were Zampano's (the username) brother? And since you only have 11 posts, it is kind of hard to believe you can say "for once" when 4 of your 11 posts were on this thread. See where I'm going with this, Mr. Zampano?

Just to endure is a triumph.

I said my brother opened the other account. We use the same studio PC. Does it matter which username we use, considering they are the same? If there's a problem let me know. I'm not trying to deceive anyone, clearly as we have the same name. Relax.

Thank you everyone for taking the time to look at my headshots! I did get these taken for free by a friend, so I know they aren't the best. But hopefully they will do until I can afford something better. I will remember all of your valuable suggestions! Thank you!
