Mycah - Portrait of an actress

Have to agree on the double catchlights as a distraction (even though it is intentional). Looks odd and may not be favorable if this is submitted for work (my brother is an acting coach in Hollywood and lets me know about these kinds of things).

Also, her being *so* off center to the left seems awkward.

I am usually a big fan, but this misses on a few points for me.

I appreciate you taking the time to give your input. The double catchlight is intentional and is just something that I prefer in my portrait work, as with the majority of my work in which I use this lighting technique to achieve the same result. To be honest I don't like the look of my portraits without it.

I totally get that (the intentional style). It is *only* because you said it is an actress headshot that I made the suggestion. It would probably be passed up due to the double catchlights and extreme off center positioning.

Otherwise, lighting is quite nice!

I actually did not say that. I specifically made a point of saying that it was *not* to be mistaken for a headshot in the original post, because every time I post a portrait of an actor or actress here, people tell me "this is not a headshot" when I never intended or claimed it to be a headshot to begin with.

I actually did not say that. I specifically made a point of saying that it was **not** to be mistaken for a headshot in the original post, because every time I post a portrait of an actor or actress here, people tell me "this is not a headshot" when I never intended for them to be a headshot to begin with. Just because someone is an actor or actress does not mean that every photo taken of them needs to be a traditional headshot.
