Dental office head shot assignment

Thanks gonzogolf.

These are gonna get cropped to 1 X 1 for his website anyway. I'm not sure where I stand on horizontal or vertical.

I think they turned out well. What was the feedback from them?

Thanks!

They were very pleased.

I edited the images today
These were the three shots that needed the most work.
Opinions are greatly appreciated.
Before, then after.

As a dentist, these things have been etched on my brain and I can't avoid "seeing" them. However, they have nothing to do with anything other than the teeth in the shots, so likely you can safely stop reading here and ignore it all.

The older dentist *looks* like has had some trauma to his upper left central incisor at some point in his life as it is discolored compared to his right incisor (and it's also shorter, perhaps it was chipped at the same time). This draws my eye like a magnet. Whenever I see this I always think, How can a dentist recommend something like a veneer to someone who can just look up and say, "But you have a crooked and discolored smile, why should I fix mine?" Even if the coloring is just an artifact of the lighting used here, I would do a digital "whitening" and lengthening on that left central.

Other than that completely off-tangent thought, I really like the shots.

It's off center, too. His midline shifts considerably from his nose downward.

Yes, it's off to the right by a couple of millimeters. I didn't mention it as studies have have shown that it can be off by a country mile (~6 mm) before the general public notices it.

Hot dang, nothing like a fresh set of eyes to pick up on things. Thanks!

Thanks to everybody that checked out this thread and to those that opined on the images.
Bcap, awesome input!
Here's my edit on the tooth

I think you did a nice job on these. The woman in the last picture has some type of imperfection just above her upper lip that could probably be touched up.

Thanks Bob_r
