Headshot help...please...so basically, I'm 17 years old, and getting professional pictures are a little out of the question right now. So these are some homemade headshots. I need opinions on which to send to a casting for a musical in development about college students. **sorry if they're huge...**1) 
2) 
3) 
so the first two are the crappy, home made ones... yes... they are pretty crappy quality (bonus points if anyone can reccomend a free computer program that I could try to fix them up with...), and the last one is my school picture from this year. I look believably older in the first two, IMO, but my school shot is much better quality... |

first one in black and white?
if you don't have a program that will do it, I'd be glad to do it for you. |

Google has a free photo program called Picasa. I love it. It can help you edit pictures and even see them in black in white. Here's the link. Good luck.

I like the fact that you are facing more forward on your school pic, but I like your eyes best in the first one...And, like Christinadaae said...The third one is so obviously a school picture, so I would go with the first! | ||||||

thanks a lot everyone. Yeah, I was leaning more towards the first one anyway.
oh, so SHOULD I put it into B/W?? Someone mentioned it further up on the page, but I was under the impression that color was all right too...? really appreciate the help!

I would do it in black and white, only because I don't like the purple background... | ||||||

Most headshots are black and white. Plus, I find color headshots tacky anyway. |

That's not the trend anymore...In NYC and LA, 90% of headshots are now in color... |
||||||

Ok. I think I'll try and go with the B&W... yeah... the purple background sucks... It's my bedroom wall..haha.
Thanks so much guys... you're amazing! |

Really? I've seen headshots for models in color, but never for actors. No one tells me these things!

^Where's my "The More You Know" Rainbow when I need it? LOL! 
But seriously, the trend has really begun to appear in NYC in the past couple of years or so... But I do think, for this emergency "headshot" that she needs, it's best if she goes B&W because of the background color, which she acknowledged was her bedroom wall!
