I’ve always dreaded formal photos — I always come out looking unprofessional or just not looking the way I want to. Nonetheless, I decided to give these headshots a try. To my pleasant surprise, I found that for once, I looked natural and also not unprofessional (I still wouldn’t quite call myself “professional”, but this is the closest I’ve ever gotten). I also realized that I have the exact same smile in every photo, which creeps me out a little.
That’s great that you got usable headshots out of this Rose event. Maybe I will try it out next year.
I have the same experience with professional pictures, my smile always looks the same however, unlike your experience, my smile doesn’t look natural. Its great that you were able to get photos as they are very important in applying for jobs!
