Head Shots - advice please

[ruby95]

I have had some new head shots taken and I can't decide which shot to make my 'main photo' on spotlight etc. Any opinions/ advice would be much appreciated! Pictures attached.

I like the first one - great 'eye contact'.

They are all great Ruby95, but I agree with Flosmum - the first one has that extra confidence x

[CatKat_0]

I agree - lovely pictures and you have very beautiful eyes - they really are amazing!

I also liked the 1st picture but second choice was number3

Best of luck choosing x

I think I prefer number 3.

I would take your agent's advice though - they will have an idea of which one is likely to "sell" you best.

Number 1 for me, but all lovely, you have fabulous eyes and skin!

[francescasmum]

I love them all too. You look more vulnerable on the third and for some strange reason a little older on the middle (with your teeth showing). You have a classic and beautiful look which ever one you choose.

They are all great, but no 1 has a more intimate and open feel about it, I agree with the eye contact comment.

[sapphire]

I like them all, but I agree with pg and think that no. 3 is a better main headshot

[bruno2]

Yep 3 is definately the best. If anyone in South Wales looking for excellent photographer for Spotlight, my dd had some great photos recently and very reasonable price. Please inbox me for more details.

Hi Ruby95,
You are a pretty girl with beautiful eyes and gorgeous hair, but I think the images are a bit 'flat', which is fine for a passport shot but I think you need a little more 'personality' in your Spotlight image. I have done a little 'tweaking' and think the images really pop off the page much more - and you want to have a headshot that gets noticed .

It took me ten minutes and I didn't even use photoshop on the first one (although I did on the second one, can't help it ). Could you ask your photographer to do a little post-production?

Obviously my images are a little pixelated because they aren't from the hi-res jpegs, but I hope you can see what a difference can be made.

Wow!! possiblypushy - I think we all want to know how you did that!!

[TotallycluelessMum]

Gorgeous pics, your eyes are really arresting. I loved 1 but having seen the tweaked images I like Possiblypushy's close up version of 3.
Possiblypushy, amazing....prepare yourself for a flurry of photoshop requests
You have a potential new career!

[possiblypushy]

Thanks for your lovely comments pinky3 and Totallycluelessmum . I have done a little bit of professional photography and I have spent way too many hours messing about with photoshop .

I think No.3. Your face looks lovely in all of them but you seem to lose your neck a little(look a little hunched over) more in the first two.
Lovely eyes and hair bytheway
