Help please! I shot this guy's portfolio, he intends to approach 'celebrity lookalike' model agencies. I was pulling my hair out, trying to optimise his 'brad features' and minimising anything that would detract... now, I'm all BRAD'ed OUT!! And i can't make a judgement any longer... please advise, in your opinion, which of the images are 'keepers' and which are 'trashers'. And - also - whether to opt for black & white or colour.

The selection is available on www.d-z.co.uk/brad

Here are two examples:

B&W. But he looks more like Brad Pitt + Illicit Drugs in that shot to me. He doesn't look like Pitt in any of the other shots though.

He's going to have to hit the gym a bit more if he wants to pass for Brad Pitt, plus get far poutier lips, LOL.

Regardless though, the B&W is a nice shot.

Just returned after many years hiatus from this forum. I was a bit of a prat before, if I ever offended you, I'm sorry

Use the b&w shot.

He looks more like JayKay from Jamiriquai.

B&W...I think he'd have a good shot at the lookalike thing, he's got very similar features.
