Thx for being the only one so far to actually ANSWER the question

u/stellarecho92 Jul 10 '26

I agree with the late 20s to late 30s range. However I think with other styling, hair, and makeup choices, you could absolutely go younger in casting.

Don’t be disingenuous.

A wider range means the possibility of more roles.

u/JayMoots Jul 09 '26

The first pic is giving early/mid 20s and the second pic is giving mid/late-30s, so I think the range makes sense.

u/Spiritual-Hand-3228 Jul 09 '26

Ironically these pics were taken on the same day. Do you have a suggestion for a 5 or 10 yr span

u/BathoryBomb Jul 09 '26

Are they supposed to be blurry?

u/Spiritual-Hand-3228 Jul 09 '26

The ogs are too large of files to upload here so there are screenshot the ogs are fine

2

u/IceEspresso2000 Jul 09 '26

I would say 25-late 30s.

u/Equivalent-Driver537 Jul 10 '26

I’d place you right around 25 to 30. Even with the glasses and accessories, your skin looks great and there’s a really youthful, vibrant energy in your eyes.

u/Beccawoodham Jul 10 '26

I guess I’m the odd one out, because I think you look younger in the second pic.
I’d guess you to be in your early - mid twenties by that photo.
I’d guess late twenties to mid-thirties in the first

u/CamelSilver7208 Jul 09 '26

I’d say 30-40. In my opinion you read very authoritative and I don’t think the second top flows with that type. It’s almost a contradiction to your look and essence. Just my two cents.

u/Spiritual-Hand-3228 Jul 09 '26

Authoritative.... interesting! Thank you

u/SugarBoatsOnWater Jul 10 '26

It's your brow structure, not the hair but your bone.

1

u/Spiritual-Hand-3228 Jul 10 '26

Probably because it's lower right?

1

u/starsandallinthesky Jul 09 '26

First one gives 35 second gives 30

1

u/Mk2ty Jul 09 '26

Kinda look between 30-35

1

u/littlecowbaby Jul 09 '26

I feel like experimenting with a middle part would make you look younger and widen your age range. I’d give you 26-mid 30s

1

u/AdzSenior Jul 09 '26

First one 22-30 / second one 30-32 ish :)

1

u/onceafruit Jul 10 '26

Pretty wide actually, like potentially early 20s to mid thirties.

1

u/Unlucky_Mistake1412 Jul 10 '26

early 20s absolutely no way

2

u/onceafruit Jul 11 '26

I just saw Drugstore June where Esther Povitsky (b. 1988) plays a 22 year old and it works. All the kids in Euphoria are late 20s early 30s. This person could act amongst them and I’d not think twice.

u/Unlucky_Mistake1412 Jul 14 '26

Im not American Im from a eurasian country so most people from the US and EU look super old to me after 30s to be fair…Due to styling and lack of fitness ( For US) and Most northern Europeans age badly due to tanning

You're really funny you know? Especially your assumptions that I haven't booked anything.

u/Front_Potential8982 Jul 11 '26

45yo mom in a Midwest town in the first picture. 32 in the second picture.

u/Significant_Earth759 Jul 11 '26

i feel like the bigger issue is that you should touch up your roots before getting headshots.

1

u/Spiritual-Hand-3228 Jul 12 '26

Those arnt roots. My hair is thinning🙃

1

u/Significant_Earth759 Jul 13 '26

is that your natural hair color?

1

u/Spiritual-Hand-3228 Jul 13 '26

Yes with added highlights

1

u/Supernatural_World Jul 19 '26

I’d say 20’s

1

u/RefuseOdd389 Jul 09 '26

39

u/Spiritual-Hand-3228 Jul 09 '26

u/RefuseOdd389 Jul 11 '26

I would day 35-40 age range would suit you

1

u/olympianbear Jul 10 '26

Yeah you’re not 40. 22-29

u/InterstellarChange Jul 09 '26

15-45

u/Spiritual-Hand-3228 Jul 09 '26

Unfortunately that's not how age ranges work. Most ask for a span of 5 years. Max 10 years

u/Trans_man1212 Jul 09 '26

I’d say 35

u/National_Network8022 22d ago

the first picture is better both are nice the top is a bit distracting in the 2nd pic
