| Hi guys, It's my first post on here but I've been a member for a while and noticed how helpful fellow CCP'ers can be! So.. I'd love to have some advice on my headshots Basicly, I've just had new ones done and have spent way too much time staring at them and not making my mind up! I've somehow managed to narrow it down to 3 (first 3 on my page). I need to pick 1 of them to be my main one so I can finally replace the one I'm using now and convert it to B&W for spotlight. Any help is appreciated! | ||

| Hey Karina! They are really nice photos, even though 1. is a very attractive shot it makes you quite young - good for the younger casting range but maybe not for spotlight as it's quite far to one side. So either 2. or 3. for me though 2. I feel is the most interesting and direct, where as 3. is more feminine and you see the whole of your face. Difficult choice... number 2. for me! Hope that helps! | |

| yup, id agree, 2 or 3. The first one doesnt show enough of your face. It needs to be more direct to they can really see what you look like. Probably go with 3. | |

| Hey, I really like the one you're using now. Just looks authentic, but out of the three on your profile, I'd choose 2nd. Hope this helps a little | |

| Hi! Great photos! I love the second, BUT, in my experience you need a good contrast to get a great pic in the spotlight book - so the one you are using would be good for that, but cropped in more. They are all great.That's my penniesworth. | |

| Choosing headshots is like looking at those magic eye pictures. Look at them too much and you find you can't actually see them! I would say number 3 for a headshot as you can see more of your face. I do like number 1 but it perhaps doesn't show quite enough of your face for casting directors to be sure what your face actually looks like! That probably makes no sense but I think most of the time people expect a headshot to be most of the face relatively straight on. I like the fact they are in colour though as there is still this expectation that headshots should be B&W when surely it is better to shoot in colour and then convert to B&W in photoshop or something. Lol the more I look at your headshots the more I wonder if that is your natural eye colour. It looks very striking and unusual with your complexion and reminds me a little of Olga Kurylenk as Camille in the last Bond film for some reason. | |
