Posted: 11/17/05 at 12:52amI think you should go with whatever shot a professional that you trust tells you to go with. Mind you, I feel that you have gotten some good suggestions here, but we are all nameless, faceless, ageless people here on this board with different educational levels and knowledge about these things. I think it's important to also state what roles you are looking for. Are these for theatre, commercials, film, TV? That makes a difference... though the pics you posted aren't really varied enough to emphasize that point. Good luck to you! :)

Frankly, none of them are very good. You look disengaged in these pictures--your eyes are not "alive," and I don't feel any connection to you looking at your photos. Also, you should have combed your hair better.
Next time you get your headshots done, make sure it's by a true professional who will not only take good pictures but will help you pose better. That said, if I had to choose one, I'd go with C (and if a second, F).
(Note: I apologize for being harsh, but you headshot is EXTREMELY important, and you must have one that makes you look your best. I'm just trying to help!).

By the way:
You don't have to spend a ton of money to get quality headshots. You can get your photo taken for a base sum of anywhere between $100 and $200; have the photographer give you only a couple of copies, and send one to ABC Pictures from which you can get copies made at relatively little cost. www.abcpictures.com

Posted: 11/17/05 at 1:52ami agree with TDB. these simply scream school portrait to me. your headshot should show off your personality...it's your calling card. i'd like to see more pictures like A...i think it's a not good picture, but i think out of the choices it has the most personality, the most life. but out of these choices, i'd go with C as well. if you google headshots, you can usually find a few photographers' sites...and you can peruse thier portfolio and get an idea of what professional headshots should be like...note thier poses, thier clothing choices, etc.

I remember days
Or at least I try
But as years go by
They're sort of haze
And the bluest ink
Isn't really sky
And at times I think
I would gladly die
For a day of sky

Here are my choices:
B (love)
C (love a lot)
