What is the most frequent mistake made by talent with regard to pictures (images)?
A. There are actually two common mistakes. Traditionally, most people prefer serious expressions in pictures of themselves. And, while such images may have a place in their Portfolios (or their moms’ dressers), they are like a dessert with no main course. The centerpiece or entree in a talent portfolio is that toothy, smiling headshot. Without it, you ain’t just drivin’ without a license, you ain’t got any gas! The other common problem we deal with regularly is “missing body parts.” At least sixty percent of talent image submissions don’t show any of the lower body; and when we ask, an awful lot of the time, such images just don’t exist. Show us those quads, hamstrings, backs and calves!
