I'm planning to make what is to me... a fairly drastic change for the new year... to my appearance...

So I thought I'd take the time to do one last portrait shoot of how I look now in case I never get to look this way again.

All are excellent, Leigh. :) Great lighting, excellent tones, and your poses (including facial expressions) are very good. Professional stuff. Modelling and photography. :)

Interesting shots Leigh. #2 is great - you look quite cute :wink: #1 you just look bored. #4 is very good too.

I first grew a beard when I was 21 - shaved it off at 25 then grew a mustache back almost immediately (couldn't bear looking at my naked face). When I did I had a friend with a camera (I didn't own one) take shots of me as I shaved the beard off - to a goatee, mustache then clean faced. When you do the less hair deed you should do the same if it's a beard or if it's the head try a mohawk!

Nice shots Leigh, I think they're all good. What brought on the desire for an appearance makeover? :lol:

Leigh, #2 and #4 are stand outs for me, the other two don't quiet capture it for me. At first when I read the title I thought you were sunburnt.... :)
I had a ponytail for 7 years and a beard for 5, I lost the beard first (to get married) and people @ uni didn't recognise me anymore, its amazing what features can be hidden by a good beard. Like wise when I lost my pony tail and were to short and spikey it was a big change... looking forward to the transformation...

You look so serious. I always pictured you punching a donut attached to a string hanging from the ceiling. These are good though.

Vivid imagery there dooda, it may not make sense, but vivid all the same :)

It makes plenty of sense, Craig.

I'm going to give myself a very different hairstyle to what I'd normally have.

Beard stays though.

I started shaving my head about 5 years ago when I decided to start going bald. I have to say it's the most liberating feeling ever. It took a bit of a while to get over but now it's the most natural thing in the world.

You'll love it Leigh and women love touching it too!
