Gearing up for some headshot work: C&C

[MK3Brent]

I'd like some honest feedback on work I think is okay.
The feedback pertains to the exposure. My monitor is not calibrated, or very good.
I'll typically save an image online somewhere, then view it from another device like an i-pad, or phone.

What do you think?

I'm going to do some headshots this week, so this is a little practice.

​

Thanks for looking,

They all seem to have a slight green/yellow cast on my calibrated monitor. What is the purpose of the headshots? IMO, the first three don't show enough head, and the fourth is an odd angle/perspective for a headshot.

Hmm. What causes the green cast you see?
The propose of the shots Thursday will be for general modeling. These are for posing and lighting.

Let me know about the color issue.
Also if anyone else sees this too.

Thanks.

You know, I didn't use a passport or gray card for white balance...maybe that's why. I'll do that for the next shot. Hope that helps.

The colour cast is definitely a WB issue. As far as the shots themselves... these are not what I would shoot for a portfolio.

As an example, here are a couple of portfolio images that I've done for local models:

my monitor is calibrated but I don't believe my eyes so I always set the black and white point in pp.

I can't tell you more because i'm viewing these at a crappy computer
