| Posted: | | | | Hello everybody, From time to time I'm looking for new headshot databases. Older files are no longer available for download and a new big update is unfortunately not in sight. So I think it's a good idea to exchange our collected pictures with each other. Enclosed you will find my database. I take no responsibility for completeness or correctness of the pictures, therefore download at your own risk. I hope many will provide their collections. Greetings Marcus Btw: It's mostly a combination of downloaded databases, so don't thank me, but to those who originally created the databases. Database |

| Posted: | | | | A CastAbove is all of the Headshots that are in my local database for Cast with a Last Name beginning with 'A'. Most are what others have done over the years, some are modified to zoom in or I have found newer headshots of them. Some new headshots too. Does contain, what I believe are Approved Birth Years. It also contains Fake Birth Years, as listed below. Steve Abbott 9001 James Acheson 9002 Alice Adair 9002 Alex Adams 9500 Cameron Adams 9003 Dallas Adams 9501 Jay Adams 5045 Julian Adams 9004 Lloyd Adams 9001 Lloyd Adams 9002 Lynne Adams 9001 Mark Adams 9013 Polly Adams 9002 Seth Adkins 9002 Steve Alden 9002 John Alexander 9002 Chris Allen 9009 Penny Allen 9000 Penny Allen 9002 Tony Alvarez 9002 Chase Anderson 5000 Craig Anderson 5119 Greg Anderson 9003 Jamie Anderson 9005 Lynn Anderson 9005 Richard Anderson 9017 Jason Andrews 5555 Mark Anthony 4444 Robert Arevalo 9002 John Arnold 9004 John Arnold 9006 Thomas Arnold 9002 Alex Austin 9003 Jeff Austin 5555 Leo Alexander 4444 | | | Last edited: by CubbyUps |

| Posted: | | | | Quoting AiAustria: Quote: Warning: This database includes the following undocumented/forbidden/invalid BYs: Brooke Anderson 1981 Alun Armstrong 1946 Sorry about that. In regards to Brooke Anderson, IMDB lists at least two people with that name and I was probably trying to determine if a BY was needed for both actresses with that name. So I added her BY locally. In regards to Alun Armstrong, I have no idea where that came from. Again, I am sorry for that. |

| Posted: | | | | I know that headshots are subjective and all, but what are we after. Are we trying to find headshots for when the person was/is at their peak in their career or are we after a headshot from when they last worked. For example, Lucille Ball's headshot looks like it's from the 1940's or 1950's. But she worked well into the 1970's. So are we looking for something like this? or this? Personally I look for what they looked like when they last worked. |

| Posted: | | | | Agreed with "when they last worked", as long as it was really working continously. I don't see much sense in using a headshot from the end of a career, which ended with some little guest roles... | | | Complete list of Common Names • A good point for starting with Headshots (and v11.1) |

| Posted: | | | | Some new headshots, most of them corrections and additions out of the latest documented BYs and common names... Headshots OnlyHeadshots and Profile which includes the source documentation ( WARNING: if you restore this file with default options, your data base will be deleted!) This files includes headshots, which imho are better than the ones included in v10. Why? - better cropping (head only, but the whole head including most of the hair) - better contrast (mostly less technical contrast which allows to recognize detail of the face) - less makeup or role specific applications - as naked as possible (no shades, no beards, no hats, etc.; but glasses if needed) - shorter hair, to see the ears and the hairline - correct birth years (dummies for headshots not availlable, BY overlayed where no other BY needed in the same section - cast/crew) - correct common names (common name overlayed where common name thread is conclusive) Amongst many well documented BYs the following fake BYs are included: David Anderson 9016 Jamie Anderson 9005 Robert Clark 9000 Patrick Cook 9013 Keith Davis 9001 Peter Hansen 9031 John Henry 9000+9007+9031 Stephen Hughes 9007 Mark Lewis 9040+9002 Kevin Quinn 9003 Rex Ryan 9005 Sean Sullivan 9000+9014 Stephen White 9000+9002 Any feedback welcome... | | | Complete list of Common Names • A good point for starting with Headshots (and v11.1) |

| Posted: | | | | So what I did was create a database of just headshots. Going through each and everyone of them and creating two databases. One with headshots without any birth years and the other one will be Only with Birth Years attached.
Right now comparing headshots and cropping them or if the quality doesn't allow I just leave them alone. Thing is that the larger database, the one without headshots will probably be close to 1GB in size.
So I think I'll break them down to more reasonable sizes once I'm done.
I'm also comparing crew and cast headshots against each other and choosing the one I think is the better or more recent one. |
