ah, thanks mistress... any thoughts on my appearance though? because nefarious is good for some roles/auditions... so this would be good for some.

its the tilt of your head that makes you look sortve evil. it could definitely benefit you for certain roles but im not a professional actor, so im not the best person to help you. ive heard people say that headshots should just represent who you are (with regard to pose and clothing) and show plainly what you look like. ive never heard of people using different headshots depending on the character they were going for...

yeah, i hear what you're saying and have definitely heard similar things before... hmmm...

You look good in general. However, it looks like your head is stuck in a position and you're trying to really hard to look up...and thus, your eyes look a bit unnatural.

It may be better if you tilt your head up slightly toward the camera.

teth, there are many others like that... but this is my favorite so i was wondering your guys's opinons!

Well, you got them.

It also just seems really strange having your brow ridge obscure that much of your eye area.

hmmm, yeah. i agree. originally this one was not my favorite but it's really grown on me. what do you think casting directors will think lizzie?

Posted: 5/10/05 at 3:35am

My two cents is this:
Upon second glance, you have good eyes and a good smile, but upon first glance, the angle of your head looks very strange and makes it become not about your good features but the angle.

Keep in mind that most headshots only receive 1/2 of a first glance.

hmmm, thanks a lot dt!

I would consider other options. You look an attractive guy and the angle (like most have mentioned) is probably not the best way to go. Did you have them professionally taken? I'd be curious to see others... But then again, who cares what I think, right? :) You're cute anyway

I agree with the majority.

Less head, more face. It's a good face.
