The European Headshot.

Imagine getting your headshots done in Tunesia.  Or Malaga, Spain.  Or waterside on the sands of a hidden beach in Portugal.

Hurrah for doing a fine art tour with a flippin' photographer.  I'm finally... after, what... five, six, seven years of being in this industry?  HAPPY WITH MY HEADSHOT.

Considering I took out an AmericanExpress to pay for Hoebermann when I was 18, that's really saying something.  And -- bonus, all things considered... these were theoretically free.

Now... in keeping with the "happy for headshots" thing, they aren't the stereotypical, I want to slowly poison myself while smiling through cheesily greeted teeth against a brick wall headshots.  They're more "portrait" style.  I've thrown up a quick link for my manager, so feel free to check 'em out.  Selects from Venice, Africa, Portugal, and Spain are displayed... the first couple are more for fun.

Now Ashley... I've seen you look this good before. Come on! Your outside the cookie cutter, Got a cigarette?, lean urban jungle hot chick style has been documented on film before. Stop being so over analytical. Sorry.

That being said, shot #9 - the profile with the black bra showing and the other strap coming down is very intriguing. Your expression is kind of a dare - I dare ya to call me in!

Thanks much everyone -- after accruing five million dollars in headshots tab and having a folder that lists far too many names of folks that I've done headshots with... it was nice to finally feel like myself. Limited makeup, no retarded amounts of lip crap and Be Pretty!

Even though they aren't as generic "chick-standard" (especially the last ones, which I prefer) I can actually see myself in them. Laugh lines around the eyes included!

:)

Fondly,
Ashley

Love shot #5 - somehow manages to be edgy and soft at the same time.
