Interesting ad on CL I found for a head shot photographer. I find it pretty amusing:

    OK.. so it's not just me that found it weird that every single image has the exact same tilt and look.

    OK, I don't get what's amusing. Looks like the head shots are pretty good and a cut or two over many photography examples you see on Craigslist.

    There is no clear information as to what the $70.00 covers, so I can't even tell if it's cheap or expensive.

    It's like a Henry Ford version of head shot photography. Assembly line and you can get it any color you want as long as it's black.

    You can get any tilt and look that you want, as long as it's this one!

    I agree with you Sam, that the photography itself is not bad at all. Its just that every shot looks exactly the same.

    My wife did bring up a good point in that, if you do book her, you know exactly what you're gonna get.

    Photos are nice.
    WOW.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! the only thing I need is the 50 mm 1.4, a reflector and my patio background, perhaps the air conditioning or my hurricane shutters could be used too.

    NOT BAD, Maybe?.ne_nau.gif

    What's really weird is that even when it isn't the same background and/or the person is faced the other way it STILL looks exactly the same!

    They're actually excellent headshots, just.... ummm... uniform :D

    The answer is they are cheap. Smells like desperation cheap. Makes me dizzy just looking at all that slant.
