Which headshot?

[Lsatblu]

Hi guys,

My sister just had these pictures taken of her and we need help deciding which to order.

Here acting coach picked these three:

1

2

3

I liked these:

4

5

6

7

8

9

Please help us decide on one or two. Thanks! (Also note, none have been retouched yet)

Cute girl. I would say 1 6 & 7

You only get to chose one? In all honesty, I prefer her without a smile if you were to only chose 1, which leaves me with only #2 as a choice.
Likes and don't likes of the others:
I like her in the blue more than in the yellow. I find the yellow is too bright and cheery while the blue is a bit more neutral and can suit different things.
8 and 9 have this curl on the side that i really dont like. It just sticks out a bit too much, compared to 7
I also prefer the straight hair over the curly hair
So that being said, I'd go with #4.

I'm an actor too. This process is hard because it's always tough to just choose one.

The way her head is tilted downward in every shot gives off a shy kind of look, so hopefully that's what she's going for. I personally perfer shots where the models face is more upfront.. it would be nice to see more choices. Out of the first three, I'd choose the 3rd shot. Definitely want a full smile for a commercial headshot. there are no good theatrical (tv/movies) headshots that I see posted here.

I think #2 is your winning pic. 5,6, and 9 are missing.

Andrew Orth from Vogue took these pictures. Here are two front on pictures:

Thanks for all the feedback!

wow I had to look twice because I thought you posted the same picture like 3 times, I guess even the smallest differences can make or break your headshot apparently? haha

anyway I prefer the 3/4 view ones, the straight on ones look a bit awkward. I like the ones with the curls better, but I think one with the curls and no smile would be a winner.

#2

for acting pictures I like the second and third that the coach chose because it shows that she can have a different "look" more versitility. All the pictures are great, she is beautiful

 

[bigtwinky]

Definatly not the first of the last set (straight on) you posted. She has hair partially covering one of her eyes. And I'm still not a fan of the yellow shirt

#2.

4

7 or 8

I like with less of a smile, personally, so I lean towards 2... but overall I like 7 and 9 the best.
