Actor's Headshot

On Saturday, fellow Bay Area Photo Club member Robert Dempsey and I met to take an actor's headshot for my daughter Emma. We relied heavily on Bob's lighting gear and know-how to get the job done. Bob is an excellent photographer who excels in portraiture (see his work at www.dempseyphotos.com).

Following are the top to candidates for the official headshot. I would really appreciate any and all feedback I can get as to which shot you like better. Bob took one of the shots and I took the other!
