I always felt that my friend Nico should have been a Hollywood actor. So one day I decided to photograph some portraits of him in a very classic Hollywood old school lighting set up and these are the results we came up with.

Superb images of a handsome guy. I've been following and enjoying your posts over here. I envy you for having good looking friends who are willing to let you photograph them

You should definitely get some input from people in the acting industry.

I took (what I thought) were great headshots for an aspiring actor. Sent them to my brother (acting coach in LA) and he quickly dismissed them as totally unusable.

These are nice shots, but from the feedback my brother gave me, these would be absolutely tossed in the bin.

I suspect that Greg's comments are based on the presumption that these are meant to be an actor's headshot for casting purposes. These may be okay for publicity or other purposes, but for casting purposes they'd fall short, as they don't reveal the entire face, and exhibit a rather blank expression. They just don't convey enough information to cause a casting director to choose him. But they're not bad portraits in and of themselves. A bit more light in the eyes would help.

Good portraits, good information. I recently had a similar experience doing a friends head shots. Also it seems, more natural backgrounds (and - ugh - shallow depth of field shots) are being used. And, who knew? Color.
