New Headshots

plumtreeblossomYesterday I had new headshots taken by my awesome photographer friend Jamin Leopold. He’s hella good, and he took so many shots I loved that I’m having a hard time making a final choice of just one for the prints. I’ve narrowed it down to these four, which are still unretouched – he’ll do cosmetique on my humid-i-frizz hair on the final. Which pose(s) do you like best? (non-LJ readers please chime in too – you can leave comments without having an LJ account).
By the way to actor/musician/media friends who need a headshot, Jamin comes with my highest recommendations and he’s booking appointments now. Get 'em before he heads off for his move. It’s the best rate you’ll ever get in Boston, and as you can see, he’s really good.
Now my only problem: which to choose?

Date: 2004-07-12 08:55 am (UTC)I actually like #1 least well; I think I'd pick #3. #2 is Absolutely the Cutest, but also (and probably for that reason!) maybe not as universal. And conversely, #4 looks wonderfully artful and "headshot-ish", but also (and probably for that reason!) somehow more generic; I think #3 shows more personality. Yeah, that's my vote.

Date: 2004-07-12 11:26 am (UTC)I go with #1 or #4. Definitely!
Though they all rock--Benjamin's an awesome photographer, and you're very photogenic...
See you soon!!

#3 - I find your hair (which I love) to be overwhelming your face (much more important to a director) in this one.
#4 - This one would be my second choice. It's a great photo, but the posture again distracts from your face and there's a little too much nostril.
I'm being incredibly picky and critical here, because I think that's what you want. They are all great photos of a beautiful, vibrant woman.
