337 in both colour and black & white

What a mammoth task!

What are your criteria for choosing or rejecting?

wow- that's going to be difficult!

How many do you aim to end up with?

My DD was advised to choose her favourites but try and get a variety of looks ie hair down or tied up, smiling or not smiling, a B&W and a colour.
DD happily dismissed quite a few of her and enlisted opinions of family and friends before making her final decision.

Another thing I was told was not to necessarily go for the ones that seems the ‘prettiest’ or most ‘handsome’, but rather the photos that show the content of your character and draw eyes with some kind of intrigue.
If you think that you're too small to make an impact, try sleeping with a mosquito in the room.

It's really difficult to change her hair quickly so it's all the same style

I am finding it really hard & they are very similar

I often felt DS was the very worst person to choose his headshots, followed closely by me in second place. Can someone who doesn't know her help you to narrow down the selection? Or the photographer or her agent?
