Love the second pause. He. Can crop it to become a head shot.

Thank you.

Or he could use the shots for his Hollywood portfolio.  Well done.

Sharookh, Louis, Ralph, Steve & Mark -

 

Thank you.  He is a very good looking young man.  He'll also be using it on his business website, and on his team's brochure.

No tie for me! The face is less aggressive

The third photo (black and white) is my favorite.

If a tie is worn, it should be bound perfect for an official portrait.

As well tanned skin type he should get for a color photo a fresh shave.

MN -

 

Thank you, and good points.

Just my 2 cents:

 

The pictures could profit from a bit more light from the right. There is a difference in white balance between two and four, as I think he wears the same (white) shirt). Nice work, nonetheless!

[earleygallery]

I prefer the less formal 2nd shot but focus appears to be slightly off or maybe there was some movement. I agree about the balance of lighting as well. 

 

I'd reshoot that 2nd shot and use a reflector or bounced flash. Also maybe get the subject to smile for a few shots. 

 

As an aside, I'm constantly amused by the photos that some people use for their Linkedin profiles - they seem to forget the purpose of the website!

James & James & Fred -

 

Thank you.  Let's see if I can get him in again, and also use MN's suggestions.

I think the angle of his face in the second is better, and definitely, a tie.

Thank you.

All the points made above are valid, according to opinion. Mine is, that he appears too wooden and (slightly) aggressive.

I would use a slightly higher camera angle, offering a more friendly tone and encourage him to relax (smile) a bit.

Of course, all this depends on what image he wants to transmit which depends on his business purpose.

Handsome guy this Victor <3

I don't think a re-shoot is necessary. You should pretty easily be able to lighten up the shadow side in Photoshop. I'd be happy to work on it for you if you want to send me the file. I doubt it would take more than five minutes. That would save you both the time and hassle of doing it all over.

Earl, Jip & Brent -

 

Thank you.  I'll leave it be for now unless he decides he wants something different.  And Jip, it's good to see you posting again.

And Jip, it's good to see you posting again.

 

I never stop posting, you know that!

He looks very sharp. (Both literally and figuratively.) Nicely done.
