camoufloging a model's round nose

[ahem]

Hello, first of all, i would like to admit that I am a model(male) & not a photographer but my present situation & desire to learn has made me come here.
Not to sound full of myself, but i have a very good face ( & so I have been told wherever I go) , I mean I have beautiful eyes, lips, skin & hair.. everything I have is almost perfect except my round nose.. it draws too much attention to itself & makes my looks just average. & this is not something that I just 'feel' or I am assuming..its just there.. its clearly visible, please trust me on that.
And a great disadvantage to me is I look much better in real life than in the photographs in which I just loook average, the difference is quite astonishing (I guess its an advantage at places where I reach before my portfolio)

So I am in the process of getting made a modelling portfolio by myself, I want to know are there any tricks that I can use to reduce the impact of my round nose? If I get some valuable feedback from here, I can give it to the photographer.

And I really don't want to go under a knife, for now at least.

I would really appreciate any ideas. Thankyou very much.

posting a picture of yourself would greatly help

Here are the pictures in which i have sort of managed to reduce the impact of my round nose, I can't find the bad ones, as soon as I do, i will upload them.

here are the ones which look bad-
& do ignore the silly expressions, bad background etc.. they were taken by me in a very amateur way

The single most important thing you can do to decrease the visibility of your nose would be to cut your hair short. Right now it frames your face and makes your nose appear larger than it is.

Thankyou very much, though I wouldn't like to part with my long hair, its a tough call for me.

If you are serious I would contact a personal stylist to give you a more professional look and help accentuate your stronger features.

I think I agree with chito beach about 2000%, if that's possible. Hair style, definitely. ANd talk to a qualified photographic MUA for some tips on how to minimize what you don't want,and maximize what you do want.

What kind of modeling assignments have you done? What kind of photographer are you getting?

How photogenic you are is what determines how much work you get. What you look like in real life doesn't count for much, with the exception of runway work.

None of the photos you have linked to would be effective in a modeling portfolio, regardless your nose.

The problem is half of my photo shoot, the studio part has been done already, only the outdoors is remaining. It was done just a day before I posted here. I will have to spend a fortune again on a new portfolio.

Also, another problem, lets say I spend a fortune again, get another portfolio done, the MUA does a good job of hiding my features which aren't good & highlighting those which are appealing, what happens next?
Lets say that on the basis of those pictures, i get a modelling assignment, there i meet a new MUA, then everytime i tell a new MUA to take special care of the features which I don't like?
