Official Author Photo

So, what do you think? Do I look like an author?

 

Part of the book publishing process is getting the dreaded official author photo/head shot. I'm actually pretty pleased with how mine turned out and owe a unpayable debt of gratiitude to the amazing talents of my hairdresser, who did my hair and make-up, and to the photographer--Amy Lundstrom.

 

 

This photo was second runner up--I'm using it for my twitter account because it was too good to not use.

This one was a contender, but ultimately my expression was considered too...imperious.

This one was also good but just didn't say "author"

This one says "I'm both happy and sad"

This one says "That latte better be hot or you'll be scrubbing toilets for a month!"

This was one of my favorites, but just isn't "Big Time Author" material

I liked this one, but my hair wasn't co-operating

This one is more "Project Runway" than "literary genius"

This one seemed to say "High School Year Book"

And, in case you were wondering, here's one that proves I can smile

I'm so far behind on my blog reading but better late than never.

Great pictures! All of them. I like your smile.

You look fantabulous in all those pics if you ask me.

I like the 1st, 2nd and 4th ones! For some reason, I like the grin on your face in #4. You look like you have a secret.

Definitely sassy and good photos. You DO look author-ly :)

I like the first three. It would take me time to choose if I had this many done. :)

BTW - Your book sounds interesting.

Perfect balance of happy and serious. :)

I like the happy/sad one. Doesn't look sad to me. You look sassy!! :)

Good call.

I do a lot of photography work with my wife. The difference between a good picture and a poor one is about 50 shots. Nice thing about digital, you can take a ton of pictures and then find that "one" out of the pile.
