Keep it.

It shows that you get real work outside of the internet.

I woudl leave it - thou maybe clean it up a bit - Fix the over exposure and maybe point to where you are so no-one has any questions..

Example:

Wow, that looks really good!  Can I use that image if I give you credit for the editing?  Also, don't tempt me about coming out to California...

Personally I think you should keep it! I think that it's awesome that you can get paying work outside of the internet. And it's not everyday that you can say you are on a billboard.

considering without your red line I had no idea which one was you I'd say dump it. Note in your comment/credit section that you appeared in a billboard for Planet Hollywood is good enough. If you only have 20 slots here why waste one on a shot that doesn't show you very well?

If I only had 20 slots than I would definitely not use this picture, but I have 40.  Do you still think I should trash it?

I would probably keep it at least for awhile and then as you rotate new images in rotate it out to keep some of your stronger images in.

PS...Did you get my email?

Wendi,


It needs to be adjusted in photoshop to bring out the colors and adjust the fact that it's over exposed.

If you don't have someone that can do it, send it to me. It's an easy fix.

EDIT: In this thread I don't see the example someone cleaned up, but it seems like you have it covered.

Use one of the "reworked" versions the guys here have provided.  DO NOT LOSE IT!  In fact, this one is on your top list of those to keep.  Welcome to the world of MODELING.

Keep it, and Brent's suggestion is spot on.

Don't let California tempt you. You know you really want to visit Seattle! :-)

I agree with Vanscottie.  It's basically a picture of a picture with you and other models in it. Put a mention that you were on a billboard for Planet Hollywood is good enough. But if you really wanted to have this picture in your portfolio then get an origianl print as a tear if you can. As it is, this is your weakest picture ... and you have a very strong portfolio!

Sorry Chris... Personally, as a photog... This is not a good representation of you and your "personal" work. You have such amazing other shots.  BTW... I would also love to invite you here to Calif.. I would love to work with you..
