My advice:
Wait for Doc to come to Vegas. Have him meet you right after you get a haircut. Pay him well for the shots.

Quote: 100xOddshuh? even if u hire hm to take a pic of u, your face is still his?!?!
Well, if it's work for hire, you probably own the copyright. Most portraits aren't work for hire, you go in, sit for the portrait, and buy the prints.
This should all be spelled out in the contract.
It's not that your face is the photographer's, but the photographer's rendition of your face is their creative work, and subject to copyright.
May the cards fall in your favor.

Note the word "serious".Quote: WizardOnce in a while I get asked for a serious head shot.
Based on that one criteria, they all suck. Either the lighting is bad, or it's a weird camera angle, or your hair is out of control, or specks in the backdrop, or something. But forget all of them.
It's ok if you want to do a Hawaiian shirt and background, but make sure it doesn't have wrinkles, your hair is ok, etc.

Superstitions are silly, childish, irrational rituals, born out of fear of the unknown. But how much does it cost to knock on wood? 😁

I don't think any of them are very flattering pics of you. So I don't vote for any of them. Have you considered hiring a professional photographer like you did with your original portrait? You're not a bad looking guy but none of those pics suit you.

A wizard needs to look the part.
Photoshop your face in place of Sir Ian McKellen's in this pic, and voila, The Wizard!

Quote: FleaStiffFor what purposes would people be asking for your headshot?
Publication?
Got to be a reason book publishers and record producers like to put pics of the author or artists. Got to be some extra cash in having a face with a product.
Or maybe just vanity, custom or superstition.

How dated is this? If it's within 5 years, I'd pick this easily.

BTW, as evidenced in HB's shot, your teeth are obviously an asset, not an embarrassment. Proper lighting (2 sides, lightly gelled, plus a key spot from 45degree above your face), a good background, shot from slightly above, and smile.

re: removed for a copyright violation?!
wait.. what?
wiki wouldn't allow that black and white headshot pic because it was copyrighted?
how did they know it was copyrighted?
and why would they care?

As near as I can tell there is a 'bot which combs the web and if the photo is in another place on the web, it calls out a copyright violation. I can re-post the photo here because the reference is back to the WIKIMEDIA.
Whoever took this photo can upload it and post it in Wikipedia, but if someone downloads it from the web it gets flagged as a copyright violation.
Source of Wikipedia photo for Phil Ivey is available because "ralphunden" who took the photo has made it publicly available.

Really?
Wrinkled faded out shirt.. That is how you want to present yourself?
Just put on a suit and tie and get a PROFESSIONAL PORTRAIT. that other stuff is cheesy.
You are way above that at this point..
Just my opinion as a gentlemen.
