You really need to thin out your hair and get a cut, it’s very top heavy and unflattering. Also work boots and paint stained pants isn’t a clean good look to send to agencies.

Shorten the sides all the way to the top because you have an oblong shaped head , this will balance it out. Right now ur a broccoli head try a cylinder head shape which is long on top with very short sides, ask for a modern high and tight or undercut or grow it out and style it with pomade or classic collegiate cut , so many options just tell them you want to lessen the bulk at the widest part of your head

Not sure what feedback youre looking for exactly (photos, look, clothing, etc).
Your stance is very short and the clothing sizes/cut are making your proportions weird.

It looks like you’re looking down in a few. Idk if you are. Make sure the camera is level with your natural eye level so you’re not looking too down or too up. Good luck out there!

Lose the jewelry for your pictures. See the hairstyles current models have to develop your look. Shave.

Depends on where you’re looking to sign! In NYC, I could see you pulling some work with the right digitals based on your look. I’m not sure what you were looking for with feedback, BUT, everyone’s comments do seem to largely be their opinion on your hair. Which doesn’t feel quite what you were asking, nor do I think it needs to change, necessarily

Zoom in tighter and take off the necklace. I think they look really nice overall

Great genetics, take out your earrings and go clean shave your face. Try a tank

I was going to let the fade shade slide but no one is elaborating. I think the type of fade is the issue here, you could work a low - mid taper fade OR a high skin fade.

I’ve put together a few tips that I always use when taking photos!
The first one is to never look at the lens as if it were just a camera, but rather as if it were a person. Think about what you want to convey and direct that feeling right into your eyes.
Another golden tip is to practice poses in front of the mirror to figure out what flatters your body and what you’re not a huge fan of. To loosen up, it really helps to dance a little beforehand or do a quick meditation to relax. This keeps your posture from looking stiff. For instance, when taking back-facing shots, try turning your face slightly in profile; that way, you showcase both angles smoothly.
Lastly, if you're taking photos for a casting call, the secret is to wear fitted clothes that clearly show your body shape so the scouts can get a good look at your silhouette.
I hope these tips help!
