Help Me Pick My Author Photo

April 4th, 2009 at 8:45 pm by --KALEB NATION--

Whilst wrapping up 11 solid hours of final copyediting today (and I’m still not done!), I received an email from the great and gloriously talented Amy Howe. Amy is a photographer from Dallas, TX, and she did the photo shoot for my author photos last week. After ridiculously strong winds and many laughs (partially thanks to Kallie Matthews of Twilight Series Theories), here are the results:

CLICK TO SEE LARGER. The photos on the right are exactly the same as those on the left, but B&W.

One of these photos will appear in the book as my author photo, and will be used in all promotion for the book. Which photo do you think would work best as an author photo? Tell me in the comments!

Speaking of author photos, here are some of my favorites from other writers:

    -Fruit


  8. NinjaFanpire

    XD


  10. Carmen_Denali

    I really like 301 and 55b1

  11. Sarah

    All of them are cool, but I like 301 & 551 the best!


  12. Amiara

    I really like 331 and 551. Love the blues and colors. Good luck choosing…cause they’re all pretty great!


  13. Reyna

    Though I like 301 a lot, I think 55b1 would make a better author photo. js.

    You look very handsome, by the way.


  14. Njeri

    55b1


  15. BC

    301 or 55b1


  16. Raquel

    i like 30b1 and 55b1 i couldn’t choose!

    but def. B&W ^.^


  17. shannon

    oohh!!! i really like 55b1 and 33b1… but i have a thing for B&W….. lol… i like the color versions of those two as well =]… so i think my actual overall favorite is 551? lol


  18. Veggie(:

    I like 551. It really brings out your epic eyes.
    Honestly, I love all the pics; they’re amazing. 551 is my favorite, though.
    I can’t wait til Bran Hambric comes out.

    —————-> <3 Veggie(:


  19. NinjaFanpire

    Thought, perhaps 551….Hm, the coloring is nice, good contrast with the red. No, no, I still say 55b1.


  20. Frank

    May I suggest 551. But, how about adding a black and white BG, and you stay in full color. I mean that would not only take you out of the stereotypical author photos. But make the BG, much more interesting. it’s already very much interesting, talk to your photographer, I’m sure she can come up with a better All tough idea. :)


  21. Lana

    55b1 fo sho!

    can’t wait for the book! YAYY!!


  22. Codi

    551. Definitely.

    551


  26. Deborah Talmadge

    551, definitely.

  29. Nicole

    55b1, definitely! It looks great in color, too; I just happen to like b&w photos.

  36. Jenna W

  37. Corinne!

    55b1, for sure. I dunno, I like all the black and white ones better. That one is definitely my favorite though.

    Corinne!


  38. Julie

  59. Loony_Lovegood

    Wow! These all look fantastic, and ver professional!
    I really ilke 301, with the awesome reflection..
    I have just one question.. where’s the plaid?


  60. Laura

    Definitely 551. I think it’s a fantastic “author” photo. It’s perfect! The b/w version of it is also very powerful.


  61. Georgia

    Amy Howe is very talented


  62. Brandy

    It reflects the light in your eyes much better.


  69. Michelle

    I’m likin’ 55b1 the best, but they’re all great…I don’t think you could go wrong with ANY of these choices! :)


  70. Kristin

    I think either 551 or 55b1. They’re both very handsome with just enough of that something in your eyes that says you’ve got a secret and we wanna’ know what it is!


  71. spangiepantz

    301 looks awesomely coool but i reckon 551 or its b+w counterpart would be the most professional.. it’s also a nice photo, so it’s win-win! :D


  72. Ash

    definately 551


  73. Chantelle

    551 for sure!


  74. Colleen

    I like 30b1. I love black and white photos and the reflection is unique.

    55b1 all the way.

    definitely 551


  78. Nicole

    I vote 551 its the best photo.


  79. Chelsea

    I love 301, and 551.


  80. Lauren

    30b1 or 55b1… I’m very partial to the black and white aspect, it makes it look very professional and authory. Whichever one you choose will be great though– these turned out terrific!


  81. Alexis

    I really like 30b1


  82. Athena

    i vote for 551

  86. Frerard Addict

    55b1

    :)


  87. Rosi

    55b1 looks fantastic, Kaleb. It looks very “author in the back of the book” if you know what I mean. Black and white is classy.


  88. Kim

    I think 551 is the best for sure soo handsome :)
    aha and good luck with the book.
    cant wait for it to come out.


  89. Sophtine

    301. Totally. It’s a really cool photo.

    I was going to say 551, but the way your head is turned looks a little weird.


  90. michael

    i have to say 301, the colors look very good together and you seem calm and author-like.


  91. Brandi

    30b1

    It’s unique and it has a more artistic look. The Black and White just completes the image. I think that will look the best.
    lol sorry, my photographer side is coming out.
    lol
    xoxo
    -B-


  92. Kyra

    -alex

  116. Luna Celeste

    #30b1 I really like that one. It gives of a fantasy look

    It looks like your clenching your jaw in the other two close-ups.


  118. Zack

    301 or 551

    The color ones are definitely better.
    Black and white are for the deceased.


  119. Lakien

    I like 301 and 551!


  120. Gatchpatch

    because of the modern magic in your book choose 30b1! It looks wicked and would go along well with the magic and curse stuff in branhambric


  121. Del

  122. CourteyQ

    #551 or

    55b1 Is my favorite….
    if not 551


  124. Catie S

    I like 301 either way best.
    Not sure he I like the color or the b&w best.
    I don’t like 551 as well as the rest.
    They are all good pics though.


  125. Karol

    Either 331 or 551


  126. Catie S

    Sorry, I didn’t make sure my phone had the correct word.
    Its supposed to say “not sure if I like”.

    551 FTW.


  128. jessica

    55b1 for sure!!! its the best one kaleb!


  129. Delphi

    I like 301. It looks like dragon scales behind you. (Which was probably the point…:P)


  130. Diane

    55b1 or 301 IMO!

    Both are really great,

    You look smexy and very professional in 55b1 though.

    I really like 551 but I also like 301.


  136. muggle

    totes 551 makes you look like a pro and even hotter than b4


  137. Rachel

    I really like either of the 551′s. and whether to use color or not really depends on which would look best with the jacket color schemes.


  138. Debs

    most definitely 55b1! you look very good in it, the photo is very well shot and it looks very professional! =)


  139. Megan N.

    301 is by far my favorite! it looks very nice :D
    -Megan

  148. meg

    551…bottom left.


  149. Aria

    Hey I love 301.
    But 551 isn’t bad either the others thou X/ I hope you don’t pick one of them.
    301 is really cool but the funky lines in 551 aren’t bad either :)


  150. Brogan

    55b1

    Definately. I think black and white photo’s are more…. Sofisticated or something? Hahaha. But for real. 55b1. Kay? Kay. Wicked.


  151. Elle

    551 (and 55b1)


  152. Eryn E.

    301 first, 551 second.


  153. Lana

    301, 551, and 551b are the best. 551 and 551b have the best angle, IMO.
    ya look great!


  154. AmandaMarie

    551 or 301. I like 301 but if you want one that’s more up close, then 551


  155. Karen

    I like 301 the best! There’s two Kaleb’s! How much more awesome can a picture get? :D


  156. jess

    55b1 ….it will be full of awesomness in your book as you may say XD


  157. Ashleigh

    551 definitely


  158. Allison

    551!!!!! Definitely. In colour.


  159. Rae

    I like 301 or 551, thought the later is a bit of a cliche-ish author photo ;]


  160. aroura

    Definitely 55b1!


  161. Rebekah Black

    551


  162. Heather

    301, 551, or 55b1

    But I like 301 the best. It’s the most unique.


  163. Nicky

    I quite like 55b1. The photo in black and white makes it seem… cool. Indescribable. XD

    Wouldn’t it be easier for you if you put up a poll for the photos? That way you wouldn’t have to count up everybody’s vote.


  164. Rachel

    551 you look so professional and classy


  165. Sofia

    30b1 all the way!


  166. EmZ

    55b1 to me, you look AWESOME in it!
    But then again the 551 also looks good!
    Hard to pick between the 2…
    =)


  167. Renesmee{PANTS}

    difficult difficult…….either 551 or 55b1. deffo my favorites. 301=siamese twin kaleb :P


  168. shakesgirl

    30b1

  176. shyne

    i really like 551


  177. Carmen

    55b1 ftw!


  178. julie

    they’re all great
    but i thnk 55b1 would be a great one to have for your author photo!


  179. olivia

    551, no question about it. Makes you look writer-ish but still cute. The others make you look odd or sideways.(331 has the added advantage of cutting off the top of your hair.)


  180. Chelsey

    511


  181. Monica

    55b1

    ;)


  182. Lucy

    55b1 is definitely my favorite!


  183. TiannaJ

    I would have to go with 301.
    It’s artistic but does not draw away from you.


  184. Taylor

    I think 301, I love how it has so much contrast and alignment all at once. You can so tell I took photogarphy.


  185. alybee

    I like 551..it seems the most professional and captures something unique about you.


  186. Meghan

    551 and 55b1 look really professional and are just great. I don’t know if I like the color or the black and white one better but definitely one of them. I think I’m leaning more towards the color one though :]


  187. ashley

    551 and 55b1 are both really nice. I have no preference between color and black and white.


  188. Stephanie

    551 the black and white. It’s classic and you’re not squinting as much. :)


  189. Angelq

    301, no question about it.


  190. Peeves

    I like 30b1


  191. Jess

    def like 551…but the b&w of that one is great too.


  192. Jussie

    I am with most with 551 I do like the B&W one 55b1 but I think for the book colour is better.

    301 & 30b1 are good to think the head shot for a book though but what would I know???

    thats my thoughts though :)


  193. Sara Razzle

    I vote 551! You look wonderful Kaleb!

    and I didn’t know Amy Howe was from here Dallas. Amazing :D


  194. Tara.Seanan

    Definitely 55b1. You look awesome in black and white! …well, you’re awesome either way, but I’m partial to that one. :D


  195. Kiri

    551! definately. you’d be a fool not to choose this one :P


  196. Ashley

    30b1!


  197. Meredith

    I love them all but I really love:

    551 and 55b1

    <3


  198. Tasha

    I like 30b1 and 551. But I’m leaning towards 551. It’s just that 30b1 is so different then what people usually do. But yeah.


  199. Jessie

    31b defiantly


  200. Jessie

    Crap, i meant 30b, 30!! ><


  201. Guddi

    551 or 55b1..it’s THE AUTHOR LOOK.


  202. Cara

    551


  203. Amalia

    I really like 301 and 55b1. I like 301 because the colors behind you really make you stick out (in a good way;). But my fav is 55b1. It makes you look very distinguished and author-y:)


  204. shortstuff

    311 and 551… i cant decide! you’ll look fabulous whichever one you choose.

    in general, i prefer the color over the black and white, only because your eyes pop so much more in the color..


  205. Alice

    I like 311 and 301, normal or black and white.
    Nobody else said 311! =O I’m so alone!


  206. M

    55b1


  207. Maria Eugenia

    551
    55b1

    DEFINITELY ONE OF THEM BOTH!! I REALLY LIKE THE COLORED ONE.. BUT THE B&W IS REALLY CLASSY AND COOL, TOO.


  208. Johanna

    55b1


  209. Phili

  259. Cricko

    I like 551 and 301.


  260. Daphn

    I love 551 and 551b.
    But I think 551b would be an awesome author picture.


  261. Jason

    551, give us a little color!


  262. Sabrina

    Uhm, thats heavy…but i think 551 is the best <3 In color, of course =)


  263. Aakerman

  270. Laura

    551 love all of them anywayss;)


  271. Marcus

    551


  272. Rachael S

    I like 551 or 55b1 as they are the most attractive and professional shots of you.

    I think I prefer 551 though because I like the contrast in colour between the blue tones in your shirt and suit jacket and the red piping behind. It looks dramatic and eye-catching.


  273. Carmen

    well .. I think pic. 55b1 would be the best!


  274. Rebecca

    umm..55b1 is my fave! =D


  275. Elina

    I think you should take the 55b1 or the 30b1 :D


  276. Karla

    30b1 is definitely the best.


  277. Sharon

    I really like 551. It looks professional and it’s got lovely colours.


  278. Kocere

    I like 55b1 :D


  279. Mariana

    311! (or 31b1…)


  280. Maja

    Hmmm..

    I like all the B&W better… well, guess I’m a sucker for classics :P

    30b1 looks cool with the whole reflection thing..

    But I think you should pick 55b1, I like it – it makes you look really professional ;)


  281. Nat

    I like 30b1 and 55b1


  282. Pragya

    i know its probably a bad idea sice uve already got so MANY comments voting for 551….i go with #551 too……it looks really professional and if not htat one than the b&w one …………55b1…………it looks really cool( i cant think of many adjectives right now)


  283. Victoria

    I’ll be a little sheep… but 551 all the way :D


  284. mary

    55b1


  285. Elisabeth

    I think #551 is the best ^^


  286. Sabrina

    ooh, tough. 55b1 or 30b1. Yeah, I like those black and whites for some odd reason. Hey, you can’t really go wrong because they all look good. I just can’t wait to have the book in my hands and whichever pic happens to be on the back cover will be perfect.
    Cheers!


  287. Poppey

    My favourite is 55b1. I think it looks very professional, though I liked all the ones in black and white :D


  288. Hayley

    I like 551 :)

    That one would look great as your author photo :)


  289. Astrid

    301 !!


  290. Jazz

    I love 551 and 55b1, but they all look great!


  291. Sarah

    I like 551 :)


  292. Paulina

    55b1


  293. Julia

    551 and 55b1.. ^^


  294. Bayla

    Wow! They all turned out really great- it’s so hard to pick a favourite.
    I think I like the angle in 551 and 55b1 the best.


  295. Yeniczka

    301, 30b1 and 551, 55b1 are the ones I like the best. Especially 301 and 30b1 because we can see the whole suit there and I like the suit =) And the mirror image there make it look interesting and original. I think photos with whole body are always more interesting than the ones with just a face.
    Pity you don’t have any photos where you are smiling, though. You have a sweet smile.


  296. Kaysh

    They’re all great, but 30b1 gets my vote (:


  297. Maria

    If you want a color picture then 331.
    However if you’ll go with a b&w picture then 55b1.
    :)


  298. Liesa

    definitely 55b1!!! I love it!!! :) I also like 301 but I think 55b1 is more classic. I’m very looking forward to buying your book – I will promote it – I promise ;)
    greez from vienna :-)


  299. Valerie

    Take 551. You look georgeous and supersweet. [;


  300. Josh

    331


  301. AusPattinsonLove

    55b1 definately the best!


  302. Saskia

    551 or 55b1
    those are really cool


  303. Kpucine

    They are all great ! But the one I prefer is definitely #551! You really look professional on it (:


  304. g

    I like 30b1, very professional.


  305. Mily

    I think you should go for 551. (= They all look pretty great to me.


  306. Carolyn

    301. Definitely.


  307. Jennifer

    55b1 for sure!


  308. Kelcea

    I like the photo 55b1. I think it’s very professional and you look really good. So, that one please.
    Good luck with your book, I know I’m going to buy it!

    x x x


  309. Marthe

    33b1


  310. Alexis

  311. Dané

    551 all the way! it looks the most professional :D
    good luck with it and i can’t wait to read the book XoXoX


  312. Lauren

    My friend and I really like the 301 pic. But I also like 331!


  313. river

    301


  314. Meagan

    551 or 55b 1. I can’t decide between the 2 though. There all really good pictures but in the color one, the red really pops, but not in a way that takes the focus away from your face. In the b and w one, the shades come out really well. I really like the first too also, but I don’t know how well they’d work as author photos.


  315. Alicia

    hmmm…it’s pretty tough cuz I really like all of them but I would have 2 go with 55b1. I really like that photo of u Kaleb and I think the b&w makes it look very cool


  316. Alicia

    O and I forgot 2 say that if u wanted 2 do 1 in color then 551 would b my choice…and I just wanted 2 say that I am so excited 4 ur book 2 come out and can’t wait 2 c which picture u pick!!!


  317. robin

    551


  318. olivia

    551 or 55b1, for sure!
    (:


  319. Hailey

    i say:

    301

    30b1

    551

    55b1

    hope it helped (:


  320. Weronika

    55b1


  321. Sia

    551 buddy ! GOOD LUCK ! CAN’T WAIT FOR THE BOOK !!


  322. MaryAnne

    551, of course! :-D


  323. Tina

    I like

    551


  324. dsolo

    My favorite is 551. Next favorite is the same one in B&W. I’m not that crazy about the mirror ones, and the other poses look better in B&W. I like the look in your eyes in 551. There’s a glint of humor in your expression, the rest are too serious.


  325. Super-Ted Cullen!

    I would say 551 or 55b1… I don’t know which I like better. =]
    Thanks,
    Rebecca.


  326. Samantha

    I like #301!


  327. Ryan

    Hey I love the Black and white pics. they are the best! 30b1 is my fav. what a great shoot!


  328. Isabela

    You should 551


  329. Ana-Cecilia Suarez

    #551!!! >.< So awesome!! ^^


  330. Maureen

    Definitely #551. It looks very professional and authoresque.


  331. Aiza

    I would really like to see either the 31b1 or the 55b1 pic…
    ^_^


  332. Deanna

    551 is the best


  333. Sam

    551 is definitely the best. You look great in that one. I think you should use a color picture because in every single photo your eyes look amazing! The ones you are standing in are pretty great, too.


  334. Nat

    I think you look better in 551. You look great in photo.


  335. Ilana

    55b1 is my pick.
    It looks the most professional and author’y haha.
    You’re eyes look awesome in the other ones but I definitely think 55b1 is the one to choose.
    :)


  336. kelly j

    30b1 is my choice!


  337. Sarah

    301!! Normally, body shots dont do that well, but I really, really like the reflection, and the background colors are a definite plus. It doesnt focus so much on your face, but it provides a more abstract, artistic sense. All of the photos are very professional, but the reflection gives someone much more to focus on than just one thing. Its a broader aspect, even if it is all just you! Hope to see that on the back of the book when I pick it up in the fall!


  338. Alexis

    I really like 30b1!


  339. Lydia

    301 and 551


  340. Natascha

    I like 551/55b1 the best! The angle, your face.. perfect!


  341. Kayla

    I like #551 most defiantly!


  342. HPFangirl71

    They are all really great but i like the first black and white pic with the mirror image… really cool!! Good luck with your book!!?


  343. Teebee

    Number 551 definitely. Your eyes look really blue and lush.


  344. bombmistro

    i like 55b1 it looks very back of book


  345. Jenn

    Either 301 or 551


  346. Christina Relak

    I like 301 and 551, but of those two. 551. Take care fellow writer!


  347. Danush

    55b1 is definitely the best!


  348. Laura

    I really think that all the pics are cool. But to be different I think you should put the 30b1, it’s very very very cute and pretty !

    Kisses,
    LauuuM


  349. Marie

    ummm i’m going to say 55b1!
    its an amazing picture of you!


  350. Nancy

    I like 311 & 551. The ones in color. I think they tend to be better than the b&w ones. Those kind of just fades away and doesnt make it memorable as it should be. These are very nice pics!! Congrats! =)


  351. Elspeth

    Either 30b1 or 55b1. I definitely like the black and white ones better.


  352. Rain

    You should go with 551


  353. Ryn

    I’d say 551 or 55b1. They’re the most professional looking


  354. Blaire

    I like 551 or 55b1, for sure.

    55b1

    love all but i think 551 is the best.

    good luck
    bye


  361. Natasha

    My favorite is 301. But if not that one, I like the ones that are in color.


  362. Brianna

    You look good in all of them.
    But, I like 55b1 the most :)


  363. Courtney

    Definetly 551


  364. Leah

    I like 30b1 and 55b1 because the black and white makes it seem just really cool. And those are the best pictures in my opinion.


  365. Lavina

    I think 551 is best, either in color or in bw, they both look awesome, but it wouldn’t have hurt, if you had smiled.:)


  366. Sky

    551 for sure! Color is great, and it makes your eyes look amazing!


  367. Kim

    55b1. it just illustrates an epic win.


  368. Cristina Rodriguez

    551 definitely.


  369. Ashley Hale

    My Favorite one is…#551 and #30b1 i cant choose


  370. Em

    55B1 is the shizzle :) x


  371. Nicole

    551 is the best looking one for me.

  373. MidnightMelody

    551, definetly. It seems there is lot of people who agree with me too:)
    I’m looking forward to seing which one YOU pick.


  374. chelsea

    i like the 301 and 55b1 the most.

    :)


  375. Alli

    i don’t know about color vs b&w, but I like 30 best


  376. Izzy

    Definitely 55b1 – you look so cool and authory! I do miss your smile in these though :) xxx


  377. HeyJoyous

    551

    I love the background and the camera angle on that shot. Nice!


  378. Sadie

    55b1 is the best


  379. Sarah

    I really like the black and white ones.

    My favorite is 55b1


  380. Angela

    I think 301 is the best.


  381. Alexx Ash

    I really like 30b1.


  382. Jennifer

    Hmmm….. I think i like 301 & 551. They both look great on color and B&W but I think 301 is my favorite. Good luck choosing!


  383. Kes

    I like 30b1, 551, and 55b1!


  384. filipamd

    511 ;)


  385. Abby

    I like 551 and 331


  386. Shannen

    I like the very first one (301) and the very last one (55b1) the best.


  387. Alexis

    go with 30b1

    most authors have those head shots. So go witht the full body one!! be different!! :D


  388. Danielle P

    i like 551 or 55b1
    they’re all very nice though =]


  389. er108

    55b1 all the way!


  390. AC

    i would go with 551…i really like the colors and the angle!!

    xoxo
    AC


  391. sarah

    55b1


  392. Misa

    I like 551!


  393. skye

    i think either 551 or 55b1.
    depends if you like color or white and black better. =]


  394. R.

    Definitely go with a black and white one!


  395. MaddieMayhem

    i like #551 the best
    its very professional


  396. betsy

    i would say either 301 or 30b1–you look great in all of them, but those are my favorites.


  397. Kate :]

    i really like 301 and 551. I think you look better in color :]


  398. Madeleine

    I love them all, but 30b1 is my favorite, no doubt. B&W suits you better for some reason. 55b1 also looks really good.


  399. Madeleine

    I love 55b1, 551, and 30b1.


  400. Lolly

    Either 301 or 551 (b/w or colour.) The other one makes you look a little too young, I think.

    The first is just a fantastic shot and is interesting enough to make me care who’s in the photo because it’s artistic. Whereas the second is more traditional for an author photo, and makes you look very sweet and mild-mannered.

    My vote is leaning more towards the reflectiony one.

    You’re adorable, Kaleb. :)

    - Lolls.


  401. xing

    551 FTW!


  402. naybeth

    551 for sure!!!
    I love that one ?


  403. Becca

    i would either use 55b1 or 301
    i love those two!
    they bring out your brilliant eyes.


  404. Morgan

    I’m totally liking #551. It’s the best one out of all, though all are good! :-D


  405. moon

    301 and 551
    the mirror thing is so cool and i love the red background in the other


  406. jenny

    301 ! <3

    i love the reflection . 8-)


  407. miranda

    551.


  408. Rachel

    55b1


  409. Indigo

    definitely 30b1 the other ones kinda look like your squinting weirdly.


  410. Amanda

    My favorite is 30b1. But i like all of the black and white pictures. They are really cool.


  411. Becca Shmeka

    55b1, black and white is so classy.


  412. Deanna

    55b1, 301, and 551 in that order are my favourites. This is so exciting Kaleb. Congrats :)


  413. carlota

    551 is the best


  414. Zarah

    I think 551 or 55b1, but that depends on if you want it in colour or in black and white…


  415. Adrienne

    301 is awesome. You look very handsome. ^_^


  416. Kell

    55b1


  417. Benedicte

  422. Charlee

    301, 30b1, 551, 55b1. I like those. :)

    Question, why didn’t you smile in any of your pictures?


  423. Carly

    551 is definitly the best

    very author estque


  424. julia

    30b1


  425. Kristin

    551!!!


  426. GenevieveCullen

    IMO, in the 31′s and 33′s you look a little deadpan, your tie looks dishevelled rather than relaxed, and that angle makes your mouth look lopsided. Not trying to be mean, just pointing out what it looks like.

    The 55′s on the other hand, are both very flattering pictures of you. Both pick up on your blue eyes and makes them brighter than the others. You look mature and thoughtful in them. Either one of them would look fantastic!


  427. Tessan

    I think nr 551 or 551b:D


  428. hannah

    55b1!


  429. hannah

    30b1!


  430. Lindsay

    301!


  431. aviva

    551 or 55b1


  432. Mavvy

    I like both 55′s – I prefer black & white in general, but color may work best with the overall cover design.


  433. Anna

    551 for real


  434. VT

    i’m partial for black and white photos though…and all are great!


  444. peanut.

    hey twilight guy.
    the pictures look really nice,
    but, in my opinion, its a cross between 30b1 or 55b1.

  453. cyn

    301 (love the colors) or 55b1 (very professional)
    :)


  454. Mels

    30b1 or 55b1 i cant decide, choosing a back and white one would be better


  455. Olivia S

    Your left eyes look like debris have flown into them. Why are they twitching???
    I think they’re all great pictures though, and I think you should go with 30b1, a nice shot where both eyes are almost symmetrical.
    BTW, congrats, Kaleb!!!
    Can’t wait for the book!


  456. Trisha

    551!


  457. Skyler

    I really love 301 and 551, I can’t just choose one. :)


  458. rachel

    there all good, but i think you should be smiling or look happy in your picture!


  459. Melissa

    33b1 is my favourite.

    If you don’t like that one, I would definitely go for one of the other black and white ones.


  460. Samantha

    I like 551 and 55b1


  461. abbie

    I think that 301 and 31b1 are the best. good luck


  462. Sylvia

    55b1


  463. Dana

    55b1 looks sharp, as does the full colour counterpart.


  464. Marcia

    551 and 55b1 are the best. Pick one of those. I like the black and white one more.


  465. Mandy

    I like 551 and 55b1. I can really imagine those on the inside of a book. :)


  466. Laura

    I like 331. You look very nice in that one. I guess any would do but 331 is the best


  467. Lilia

    551 and 55b1…. the bestest :)

    i cant wait for your book to come out!!!! :) !!


  468. Catie

    551,definitely.


  469. Alison

    55b1!!! luv it! :)


  470. katRin

    55b1 :)


  471. Stephanie

    I like 551. I looks very professional, but not generic like the B&W ones.


  472. Anna

    55b1 – It’s my favorite and the black and white looks more professional than 551, just my oppinion though!


  473. Jamus

    I definatly like 551… You pop out more.


  474. Twirlerx4Lifex3

    definitely 55b1 !!!!! :D


  475. Haley Alice

    55b1!!congrazzles Kaleb^^
    hearts u<3333


  476. Megan

    I’d say 551b. It looks very professional, and looks excellent in both black and white and color (though I like the black and white better.) It also strikes a similar feel to the other author photos you like best. I do like 301, but it seems more like a genre photo to me – someone who writes solely in fantasy or sci-fi. 551 translates between genres well, and could be your all-around picture. If you want a consistent picture for your books, I’d say 551, be it color or B&W, is your one.


  477. Nicole

    i like 301


  478. Olivia J

    Definately 301! Can’t wait for your book to come out!


  479. Aleksandra

    551 is amazing Kaleb, I would go for it! It will go great with your book, can’t wait to read it.


  480. Jessica

    Definitely 55b1 or 30b1.

    :)


  481. Monisxox

    I like all of them, but I really like #551 and 301.
    Whatever you choose it will be a good one, good luck!

    xo Norway


  482. Suzanne K

    I like 311. But you look absolutley adorable in all of them anyway :D


  483. Amber

    i luv 551! def the best


  484. Elizabeth73

    30B1 Most definitely! The background is really cool, and the reflection is intense
    The color one *really* reminds me of Twilight (blue shirt, brooding, green shades behind- anyone, anyone?) but the B&W looks like something all your own.


  485. Andrea

    Definitely 551. :-)


  486. SpringSparrow11

    30b1 definately the best


  487. Hannah

    301, for sure! :) it’s awesome…i love it!

    301!!!


  488. Carmy

    The more traditional one would be 551, though 301 is most unique. Personally I like 301 better. However, between the two I think most would say the better choice would be 551.


  489. Andrea

    I like 551,like Lemony Snicket kind of thing. Heh heh. Can’t wait for your book! Are you doing signing?


  490. Maffer Martz

    55b1!!!


  491. Faktririjekt

    301. =)


  492. Lariza

    They’re all pretty good, 551 makes you look very Lemony Snickety! But I think you look cutter on 301


  493. Mindy

    i like 55b1


  494. thatonetwilightchic

    31b1 i like the best black and white photos are awesome


  495. mckayla

  500. Katie

    My favorites are 301 and 30b1…but that’s just me….any of them are fantastic!


  501. Laura

    301 for sure. Has character and keeps my interest. Doesn’t look just like another random photo of someone.


  502. Amanda M

    551 or 301


  503. Kate.E

    551, the colours are really nice.


  504. Ariel

  505. Camila

    Hmm, well, I like 551. I like that one better than the one in b/w cuz you can see your pretty eyes. Lmfao. Hope I helped. =]


  506. Resilda

    551 :)


  507. Aubrey

    omg pic 551 looks very good


  508. Kate

    55b1 is my pick!


  509. Rian

    55b1
    I think that is the most professional looking one. I can already see that in your book.


  510. brittany

    i really like 30b1. its a really cool photo. its not the typical ” headshot” author photo that i normally see. i’d go with that one. :)


  511. Kasia

    I really like 551!


  512. frodofan

    My favs are 301 and 55b1. Good luck choosing, no wonder you passed it to us! ;)


  513. Stephanie

    I like the black and white one with the mirror (30b1). very cool :)


  514. orla

    i like 55b1 :P


  515. Nikki

    #30b1 in the other ones you look a little pissed lol :)


  516. Julianne

    I like 55b1 or 551.
    :]


  517. Bakerbabe04

    55b1 is definately the shizz, pick tht one


  518. MyGoldenGlow

    I like all of them, but 301 is my favorite.


  519. Orietta Rose

    My brother and I choose 551. The red in the background makes it look interesting.


  520. Natasha

    Kaleb,
    I think there is seriously something wrong with the left side of your body and face. You need to take a picture that only shows your right side so that people won’t think that you are disabled.

    Best of luck with the book!


  521. Cassidy

    Use this one for sure! No offense, but in all of your pictures your left eye is squinted, and you can’t really tell in this one. Plus, all the pictures look beter in color.


  522. MinisculeRaindropOfSilence

    551!! :D


  523. Anneke Weweler

    301


  524. Megan

    55b1 and 551 are my favorites!


  525. Emma

    My fav is 55b1 but they all look AWESOME!


  526. Meghan

    551 or 55b1


  527. Melissa

    301!
    I like the color pics best


  528. kylie

    i like #55b1 the best but 301 is kinda cool


  529. Caitlin

    30b1 is pretty awesome. You throw out this madcap mysteriousness. Very nice.


  530. Stephanie K.

    I LOVE 30b1 and 55b1! The black and white are my favorites! =] They look so professional! =]


  531. alexa

  538. Deja

    They are all amazing….it’s really hard to decide..but My favorite 2 are 30b1 and 55b1….:]


  539. Alejandra

    If your book cover is in color use a color picture if not well use the black-n-white picture.

    hope it helped!:)

    goodluckk;)


  540. Renee

    I like #301.


  541. Jennie

    301 is my favorite fallowed by 551


  542. Filipas

    551!


  543. stephskimo

    55b1 all the way!


  544. Kristen C

    I love 30b1 but I think a close up would work better for a book. I would go with 33b1 or 55b1. I reallt like the black and white ones. :)

    *K


  545. Sandra Norin

    I think you should go with 301, or mabey 30b1 or 551. I have a hard time to choose… But I have to say that I like 301 the most. :)
    I hope all of these comment help you. ^^


  546. milinda

    I think they all look good, but I like 301 the best!!


  547. Melody Platz

    55b1. It looks good AND it gives you an aura of mystery. : )


  548. Kelsi

    #551, or 55b1. ;-)


  549. SwitzGirl

    I like both 301 and 551! For me, they’re both hard to choose, like it’s hard to choose between Edward and Jacob!


  550. emily bigler

    i like 55b1


  551. Katie Lee

    I Really Like 55b1 And also 301.

  553. Jami

    301 looks excellent! Great photos!


  554. Kelci

    I’d just like to say that when I posted this comment, there were 551 other comments.

    And my choice was 551.

    FREAKY.


  555. Meg "RFF"

    Definately 551….I really like that one :)


  556. Morgan

    i absolutely love #551!!! the red or rusty orange really bringsout your eyes!! i cant wait until the book comes out!


  557. Erin

    i like 55b1, it looks really professional, plus its a great photo and i lik the black and white because ifeel it enhances the effect it will hae in the bbook


  558. EmmyJ

    I’m torn between 301 and 551. So from going with random pointing with eyes closed I picked 301


  559. Alexa

    I like 55b1 the best!! but they are all very good :]


  560. alyssa

    i absolutely love 55b1 :]


  561. Alexa

    i pretty much like them all! so if i had to choose… uhmm idk here, i’ll just put them all in order (from least to greatest):

    8.33b1
    7.301
    6.331
    5.33b1
    4.301 or 30b1 can’t choose!
    3.301 or 30b1 can’t choose!
    2.551 or 55b1 can’t choose!
    1.551 or 55b1 can’t choose!

    i really can’t choose between the last four beecause i think they’re the BEST!
    i really hope i’ve helped!


  562. katie

    55b1 for sure! :D


  563. Stephanie

    I’d have to agree with many others that 551 or 55b1 are the best choices. I think it depends on the cover art if you should pic color or black and white.. but personally, I think the Black and White looks amazing :) Good luck and hope you find the right image soon!


  564. jessie

    i them all but i choose 55b1 =P
    but i’m torn between 551 and 55b1


  565. Marieke

    55b1
    Definitely.
    Why is say so? I have studied graphic design, I work at a marketing departement and I am a woman. I just know!


  566. kenzie

    deff 30b1


  567. Nicole

    55b1 is really the best one


  568. Ashley Phelps

    These are all great but I would go with either 55b1 or 301. Good luck w/ everything!!


  569. kayla

    i’d say 551. the angle is really great


  570. Monica

    551 is the best and 301 is a close second, and I definatly like them all in color better!


  571. Rachel

    If the picture will ALWAYS be printed in color, I like 551. If it may be printed in B&W for some things, I’d go for 33b1. The red bars make the color photo very appealing, but really distract from you – the subject – in B&W.


  572. Kate

    I like 55b1 the best! :)


  573. Nupur

    301 and 55b1 are both especially spectacular, although they’re all quite good. But the blue/green background and the reflection in 301 are really amazing, as are the contrast and angle in 55b1.
    Good luck!


  574. Katie

    55b1!!! I love the black and white thing, it looks really professional. But my second choice is 551, the colored one.


  575. Christin

    I think #551 is an excellent choice for you. The colors and angle work very nicely for you.


  576. Jenna

    551


  577. Kim

    Love 301 and 551! (But 551 is my definite favorite. :) )


  578. Amber

    I think I’m gonna go with 551 as my favorite. But I really love 331 and 301 a lot too…It’s such a hard choice!!


  579. Kim

    Love 301 and 551! (But if I had to pick one, 551 definitely.)


  580. Jenny

    I vote for 551! I like 55b1 also, so either one would work, but I like 551 the best! =D


  581. Elizabeth

    I think photo 301 is the most visually interesting picture of the group and it might help your photo stand out among other authors.


  582. *sydney*

    301! definitely!


  583. Sasha

    I really like both 301 and 551 =)


  584. Veronica

    Definetly 551 althought they are all very good=]


  585. Jacqueline Lombardo

    Either 551 or 55b1!
    Great photos, and I CANNOT wait for your book!


  586. Katie2981

    i like #551 for sure!


  587. Jacque

    I like 55b1, actually I like them all.
    but why aren’t you wearing plaid?!


  588. mallory j

    301. can’t wait for your book!


  589. chelsea-chee

    I’d say either 301, 30b1, or 55b1.

    Either way, its still awesome you’re letting us help you out by picking the photo that will be in ALL of your books. Very cool of you.


  590. mercedes

    551 definitely ;)


  591. Insomnia

    While the reflection shots are cool, 55b1 just says “gaze into my eyes…And while you’re at it, buy my book!”. Lol, definitely that one Kaleb. Black and white gives it a myserious look too; very ooh la la. ;-)


  592. Samantha

    i like 55b1


  593. Samantha

    i like 55b1 the best.


  594. Emmy Cullen

    I love black and white pictures best, 551b is a great choice I think. And 30b1.


  595. relexia

    Anyone else notice how Kaleb didn’t smile in any of them? I can’t say any over the other cuz they all seem so sad and serious. But, good luck with whatever picture you choose.


  596. Nicole B

    I’d say either 551 or 55b1… ^^


  597. Emerson Hale

    definetly 551


  598. Robin

    I like #551


  599. LAURA D

    551…. Very nice!


  600. E

    My opinion:

    55b1 is by far the best
    Then 30b1
    Then 33b1
    Then 551
    And finally 31b1


  601. LAURA D

    551


  602. num1twilighter

    551 definetly! <3


  603. gabrielle

    551


  604. Haley

    Most defiantly 30b1:)
    You look dashing in that one!
    And I can’t wait to read Bran Hambric!
    It sounds amazing.


  605. Victoria

    30b1 definately. black and white photos are classy.


  606. Tricia

    301. I must say they all look great. However, I’m partial to green, and the background gives me a tiny feel of plaid, which is a part of my perception of you. ;)


  607. Maria

    I like #331! It keeps your personality, while also adding a professional touch. :)


  608. Shannon

    I think 55b1


  609. Jessica

    55b1 :D


  610. MrsSpunkRansom513

    I love 55b1. so good. The color one is amazing too but the close up in black in white is just classy and cool. And it is just soooo you. (I feel)


  611. Becca

    I like 301 and 551, I can’t decide which one is better though. They all came out good, Amy Howe is awesome.


  612. Megan

    301 definetly


  613. Allison

    i like 551 and 55b1!


  614. Medya [MSquared]

    55b1.

    HANDS DOWN.


  615. Erika

    55b1 for sure


  616. Melissa

    hmm….i like 331 tho 551 would be my second choice :D


  617. Bella

    331 for sure! Very Dapper!


  618. VIVIAAAN

    i vote 551 and 301 . (=


  619. Catherine

  620. Catherine

    I like 551 and 55b1. They look very professional and, in my opinion, are the best in the bunch


  621. Icy Topaz

    31b1. It’s innocent and boyish but still holds a wisdom in it. It’s a good ‘un. ^_^


  622. Marina K

    551 is definitely my favorite.


  623. HarlequinTwilight

    Definitely 551, very cute and very professional.


  624. Erica

    i like them all alot.
    but i tihnk ill vote for 30b1
    :]


  625. FictionsMyReality

    I like 551 or 55b1..=)..both are very nice looking…xD


  626. Laura

    Love 301. The colors are just great. I also like 551.


  627. kassia

    551! It makes you look young (not that you aren’t!) and your eyes look pretty in it :D


  628. Elise

    umm 551 or 331 are the best ones. have fun deciding;)


  629. FabiolaBlack

    i vote 301!
    you should make a poll
    maybe??
    each one is lovely
    you should go for colors anyway
    b&w make u look older


  630. Theresa

    i like 551! very cool, kaleb. one step closer…


  631. Taylor

    301 or 55b1 :D


  632. Elyssa

  633. Animerockerfan154

    i like the #551 and the #55b1 they look more professional


  634. Angelika

    55b1 is definitely my favorite!


  635. Emily

    55b1 is my favorite you should definitely go with that one.


  636. robyn!

    551

    i like it in color because your beautiful lustrous eyes are like two big pools of gray liquid that melt my heart!

    ok that was a little creepy. forget i said it


  637. Melina

    55b1!! Love the black and white look…


  638. 2Smart4U

    30b1 no duh!


  639. Mich C.

    Either 30b1 or 301. They look mysterious & make people want to learn more about you & get into you. Yet, thats just my oppinion.


  640. Hanayuki

    551

    That the one that looks the most professional in my opinion. Usualy I go with black&white, but I think it’s best to keep the colors because your eyes look great and the contrast between your clothes and the “bars” on the background is nice.


  641. Tea Rose

    551 or 55b1 definitely. They’re very classy and I think stand out more than the other ones.

    Good luck though


  642. Julie

    I like 301 the best, tho i do love your beautiful face the full body one is a bit more personal and has a good angled shot.


  643. Katie L.

    511, most definitely!
    or 301, they’re both really nice.


  644. Nikki

    551

    or 31b1


  645. marissa

    55b1 :)

    thats probably my favourite… OH or that one in colour… either or


  646. Elle

    Definitely 55b1. It’s very snazzy.


  647. Meredith

    55b1


  648. Miy (pronounced "my")

    551 is awesome


  649. Izzy

    definitely 551
    haha

  650. Haley Pattinson

    55b1


  651. Ash

    Oh, 55b1, definitely!


  652. Jess

    i would say 301 or 551

    because they look the awesome !!

    :D


  653. samantha g.

    551 – it’s much brighter than the others, looks AWESOME too.


  654. Maggie

    Definitely 55b1!


  655. Monika

    I think either 551 or 55b1 are the best author photo, but the other one are fantastic too


  656. Morgan

    i lyk pic 551 the best!!


  657. Allison

    551. It gives a little bit more with the background. You look better in color. And your eyes really POP.


  658. Katie

    55b1!!! So good :)


  659. Marissa

    i like 551 i like the color in the background


  660. taytemar

    551 is the one!


  661. Kayla

    55b1, most definitely. It shows a more professional air. (And you look really good in it, angle and everything) I like it in black and white better, too <3 (They’re all super awesome, though!)


  662. Maroon Wombat

    I say 301. It’s awesome!


  663. B. G. Schoolcraft

    55b1


  664. Molly

    Wow Kaleb! I would never guessed what a hottie you are! You always are making crazy faces :) . 551 is most definitely the cutest! :) .


  665. Hannah

    I really like 55b1

    I like the angle and i like that it’s in black and white. =)

    All of them are great though.


  666. Lauren

    30b1. Black and white = instant class!
    Also, it’s unique.

    Also also, I like you because you use the word “whilst”.


  667. Shar

    55b1 … that looks best.


  668. Taylor Cullen

    #551 definitely! You look very serious! Love it!


  669. Susannaofalabama

    551 and 551b :)


  670. Jessica

    55b1. Black and white is absolutely timeless. I think that it looks very professional, and sophisticated. Good Luck!


  671. Amie_O

    55b1 Definitely! Looks really cool and professional!


  672. ketzchexmex

    ok i’m loving 30b1 and 551….it’s gard to decide between them….


  673. Adrianna

    551! You rock Kaleb!


  674. idreamofedward

    I like #331. The background really brings out your eyes! The colors are awesome!


  675. Joanna

    photo 33b1 definitely!!!


  676. Marie1810

    My favortie is definitely 55b1. Whichever you choose, I think you should go with black and white. It makes you look a little bit older, elegant and mysterious (which is going to attract more people to your book or at the very least read the back cover).


  677. allie

    30b1


  678. allie

    30b1


  679. alexia

    551 and 55b1
    have you tried 551 in sepia tone? or maybe a different background.. those red metal things don’t look particulary good..


  680. Fabiola

    I like 551, can’t wait to read your book.


  681. emi

    30b1 please :)


  682. alexia

    or even 331.. i’m not sure.. 331 and 551 are both good..
    have you tried with a little hint of a smile..?


  683. Tobey

    HEy Kaleb,

    all very nice, I think I like 301, because it is not the usual…..but I do like 551, but find the red distracting, I like the color as opposed to the b&w, so if they could do something with the red….

    I was reading through the comments and comment 20 by Frank is exactly what I was thinking, black and white background with you in color really would work for me….

    good luck wading through all the comments and making a decision!


  684. Julianne

    551 or 55b1, definitely!
    Can’t wait for the book!


  685. Mary

    55b1
    deff! im so excited for this book!
    congrats!

    stop by boston for a book signing!


  686. Brittany

    551b1


  687. Michelle

    i like number 551 (:


  688. Emily

    i really like 551 ;) goodluck with your book!


  689. Sierzzle13

    55b1 that was is awsome a picture i will lok at!!!


  690. Vickie

    55b1 hands down… My favorite!


  691. Christina Cullen

    55b1. :) Can’t wait for the book!


  692. Heather

    yayy! congrats!
    i vote for 55b1.
    or 551, but i’m one of those ppl who thinks b&w always looks more professional.


  693. HeatherD

    55b1


  694. Amber

    55b1… ur awsome kaleb :)


  695. Katie in Pittsburgh

    301 definitely! very flattering, visually interesting photo!


  696. Lillie

    551

    Thanks for sharing your experience with us. Hopefully I can tell my friends, “hey, I helped pick that picture!”


  697. Kate

    I like #301; it’s very artistic and stylish.
    You look great in all of them, though, so it was hard to choose.
    Very nice pictures, can’t wait for your book!


  698. becky sue

    I like 551 best, and second place is 301. I love the colors in them both :)


  699. Rachel

    551

    It looks very proffesional. I like it. =]


  700. caravsangel

    I think you look a little TOO serious. You should have been smirking…. not smiling or grinning, but SMIRKING…. in one of them. But, since that’s not an option, I’d go with 301


  701. Caroline

    55b1 for sure :)


  702. Alexis

    Am I allowed to vote for the pic at the end of the video in which you told us to go vote? You photograph fabulously with that angle. If I must choose one of those above my vote is for 301


  703. twilightmom.sarah

    You’ve got a lot of fans! It takes forever to get to the end of the page! :) (super awesome!)
    OK, so I like 30b1 and here’s why… The color ones are great! but most of the author photos today are with neutral backgrounds. And the red stripie one is very cool…but I can just see it being dated very quickly. The grayscale photos will go with anything and that is one reason I’m leaning that direction. I really like the double image thingy going on in the first shot. It also reminds me of a quick shot from a little movie called, “That Thing you Do.” At the end… one of my favorites. If I had to pick a second, it would be 55 b1. Some of the others suggest the angles are cool. I agree. Good Luck. I’m new here, but you are absolutely adorable!


  704. Melody

    I like 551


  705. Alaris24

    I think 55b1 or 551 look very good. I like them best, you look really cute in them.


  706. Nadhya

    I choose 551 better…


  707. Twilight Addict 413

    Defenitely 301! It is the most unique compared to most author pictures. :)


  708. Kaliah

    551 is the best! Good luck, and congrats to what you have done and will do!


  709. Emma

    55b1 is my fave by far. but they all look so good! have fun choosing ;)


  710. Gigi

    301!!!!


  711. Amie

    55B1 =)


  712. Mickey

    55B1
    =)


  713. Megsie

    Definitely 55b1 or 551. (:


  714. jennifer p

    551b is the best shot of you (:


  715. Tis Muah:)

    A) jesus Kaleb look at all these comments! O.o
    B) 551

    you look so dashing! XD


  716. Megan

    I think I like 55b1 the best!


  717. Alice_Culen

    OKi… either 351 or 35b1
    you look great in all of them though
    good luck with that giant editing job!


  718. BillieJoesEntourage

    33b1 is the best. I find Black and White photos make things look more classy. Also, you look cute in that pic lolz

    and I don’t think you should go with the top ones…the reflection just looks cheesy and fake…(from an artists pov)
    and the bottom one makes you look a bit weird…


  719. Jaina

    The 1st one (in black AND colour) looks like you are a conjoined twin so no.
    The next one is okay.
    The one after that looks sort of the same but there is something wrong with the left eye (my left)
    And the last one is okay too but the stripes kind of distract me.

    So I like 31b1 and 55b1 but overall would go with 31b1.

    The reason I think you should go black and white over colour is that you arnt really smiling and in your favorite authors pics, steph and Jo are smiling and they are in colour and the guy is in black and white and he isnt smiling.


  720. EmmaRigelsford

    311, “Much more Macho.”


  721. Kathryh

    551
    or 301

    but mostly 551

    please don’t do a black and white one! so pretentious and fake!
    you look great in all of them though! :]


  722. Lynds Magalei

    I really like 301
    make it color. all of them look nice though <3


  723. Makayla

    I like 30b1
    It’s a really awesome photo and I’ve never seen an author photo like it.

    and I just want to say that i read the preview chapters this morning and I absolutely love the book.


  724. Mattie

    I really like 551 and i think you should use a colour photo as it makes the book look more expensive. They are all really nice pictures though but 551 is definetly the best :)


  725. Emily

    301 :)


  726. jordan

    551 for sure!!!


  727. Nadine

    551


  728. Hope

    Either 551 or 55b you look happy in those while some of the others look too serious.

    I do also like 301 and 30b1 both are very cool looking.

    Good luck!


  729. Anna

    Out of all of them I think 55b1 would look the best in the book,
    (as in the MOST Professional looking picture is 55b1)

    So I hope you pick picture 55b1! :)


  730. Mackenzie

    i like 301 =]


  731. Katie B.

    #551. It’s perfect!


  732. Miss Tree

    I like 551. The read in teh background realy adds something to the photo. The other photos the background doesn’t frame your face as well IMHO.


  733. Lais

    551

    is perfect, the colors are incredible.


  734. Julia

    My favourite is 511. Looks like you really should pick that one ;)


  735. hakeberevol

    551 or 55b1 preferably the colored one but thats just me.


  736. Wren

    I really like 301 and 55b1.

    The color 551 makes you look a little creepy, but black and white is alright.
    The mirror effect is really cool, though, but it’s better in color.

    So, 301 and 55b1 get my vote.


  737. sadie

    30b1
    or
    55b1

    i like the b&w ones the best :)


  738. Brittany

    Oh, definitely 55b1. It makes you look soulful and deep :) B&W is always better I think. All of them look good though Kaleb!


  739. ~Lor

    55b1. I prefer black and white. It has a classic look.


  740. Carly

    55B1 DEFINITLY


  741. Kara

    551 looks really good


  742. Hannah Cullen

    30b1 for sure :)


  743. Ang

    551 is a fantastic picture – dramatic and interesting while keeping the focus on your face. It’s better in color but doesn’t lose too much in b&w.


  744. Genevieve81

    I cant choose between 551 and 55b1. The color photo is great because you have such intense eye’s. Then the black and white version is also really awesome. Good luck choosing :)


  745. Reneata

    I think you should go with 551, its the best choice for Author Photo. Good luck choosing


  746. Rigby

    55b1 or 551 for sure!


  747. Opaleyz

    551 or 55b1, definitely :D


  748. Bernie

    i like 55b1 the best.
    it looks the most professional, and black and white woeks very good with you.


  749. Britta

    Hmm… I like 551 (55b1 looks a little too overexposed). The red in the background is a nice plus. Good luck!!


  750. Nikki

    55b1 is my fave. I love black and white photos. I do really like the color one as well. So either of those.


  751. Gothhic Goddess

    301 is awesome. I cannot make up my mind on the color or the b&w. Most books go for the b&w though… sigh. I like the colors and the mirror effect though.


  752. Maureen

    30b1!!!


  753. Tora

    55b1

    As a photographer (and I didn’t just write that to show off…) I really like the intensity of the photo, the way the light falls on your face and eyes. And, well, you can never ever go wrong with black and white, it’s classic =)

    Good luck choosing!


  754. Nirak

    They are all good, really, but 551 is the best, imho.


  755. Courtney

    I think either 301 or 30b1. Those are uber cool. Of course, I’ve always liked mirrors (I think it’s how they’re made, and the whole magic of it all. And reading the Erik [the Phantom of the Opera] liked them. I’m sure that helped) :3=


  756. Stephanie

    551 and 55b1


  757. Victoria

    55b1 definately!
    I love B&W pics! You look so professional~*wink!


  758. Kristin

    551 or 55b1!!!!


  759. chelsea

    551 is my favorite 55b1 is cool too but i like seeing the colors in the photo


  760. Hallie

    definitely 55b1 (the others kinda make ur eyes look a little strange, but they are all great though) :-)


  761. Aaron

    I say 311! So awesome.


  762. Rae

    i think 30b1 it looks awsome!!!


  763. Cait

    30b1 or 551

    My first choice because it is very cool, I love double Kaleb! haha.
    My second choice because the colors in the photo is very nice and you look very professional.


  764. Camryn

    551 thats the best


  765. Edwin

    Well Kaleb, this is definitely a hard decision, and one that I wish you luck in making.

    In my personal opinion,

    55b1 does look very professional, and I like it in black better because while the red background is a good contrast, it seems to clash a little too much. (it doesn’t quite seem your color xP)

    331 or its black&white counterpart appear both professional but not too uptight, and carry a good balance between casual and formal. These could be my favorite…

    And finally, I really liked 301 because it was different than a run-of-the-mill author photo, casting a mysterious ghostly image to stand beside yourself and all in good color. (In the black&white version it makes your reflection look less real)

    Of course, all of this is my opinion, but since you were asking I thought I’d share. (xD) Good luck choosing!


  766. Fallow

    Personally, 301 is my favorite. But I think you ought to keep the color scheme of the actual book cover in mind. If it uses a lot of cool colors like there are in 301, then stick with that. But if there are warmer colors, then 551.


  767. Kasey

    301.


  768. Maggie

    I really like 551; the black and white is professional-er (so not a word), but the color one makes you look funny. No offense!
    301 is kinda weird, I just don’t like it, and 331 is pretty good.


  769. Becca

    I love 551 and 55b1… and I think if i had to pick I would have to go with 55b1. The black and white just makes it look better, I don’t know why… definitely go with one of those =D


  770. Christna Cullen( i wish)

    30b1 because personally i believe black and white is more sophisticated(will give class to book, take it from an artsit man)and that your best one by far.


  771. Katie

    55b1- it makes you look really professional (and cute!! LOL!)


  772. Ashleigh

    I really like 30b1 or 55b1 =D


  773. Hera

    301 !! …or 55b1!


  774. Haley

    55b1 is my favorite, but you’re such a cutie, any would work just fine.


  775. jasmine

    301!!


  776. Julie

    55b1 :D


  777. Marsha

    301!
    I can’t wait for your book to come out!


  778. Christine K

    55B1

  779. Rachelie.j

    55b1 is my absolute favourite =D !!!!


  780. Janna

    definitely 55b1


  781. McKenzie

    I personally like the 33b1 b&w one


  782. Karoline

    i like 551!!
    u look very handsom!
    :-P


  783. Justine N.

    Most def. 551!!
    its the absoulute best!


  784. briannna and lacey

    30b1 is our favorite, choose that!!


  785. Jacci

    55b1
    Awesome. =]]


  786. Gianna

    i like 301,551 and 55b1……..all awesome pics lol


  787. amanda

    i love # 551!!!! awesome!!!!


  788. Rosalind

    55b1 is definitely the best :)
    Congrats, Kaleb!


  789. Lexi

    I think 551 is the best author photo, but 301 is really unique. Almost too unique… but no matter what the picture Bran Hambric is going to sell like crazy with all the twilighters. I know I’m buying it! Best wishes Kaleb! :)


  790. Karen

    55b1 is a winner!! I like the color version of it too, but if I had to pick between the two, 55b1!! They are all great, really hard to pick!


  791. Bella (-) the B

    I like 30b1 the best. To me it seems the most visually interesting. Reflect your creative spirit:)


  792. hotpinkbaba

    301!!! I think it looks totally awsome!!! But anny choice would be good!!!


  793. Jessi

    i like 301 n 55b1


  794. Narutarded

    #551
    fo sho :)


  795. katie!!!!

    30b1 or 55b1!!!!

    love you!!!!!!!!!!!


  796. Jennifer

    301 or 311


  797. luckybubblegum

    I like 301 and 551 and 551b1.But I think I like 301 the best, the mirror thing looks so cool. You look really Kool in those photos.=D Anyway good luck with your book.


  798. HB

    301 and 551. The reflection in the mirror really brings life to the picture! :-)


  799. Ivy

    I really think you should use 551
    is awesome xD


  800. Jenny

    Actually I really liked 551 a lot but 55b1 is better because in the colored one the colors distracted you from your face and the black and white picture brings out your eyes more.
    I really like 55b1.


  801. Faye

    I don’t care, just get the book out already :D


  802. Laura

    I like 301 the best.


  803. Vitaani

    I really like 301. It makes you look more creative and…reflective….punny!


  804. Katherine

    I love 301!


  805. Rachael

    I really like 551. Why don’t you ever smile in your pictures?


  806. Aliya

    Hmmm either *scrolls back up to see pics* 551 or 55b1. Definetly my two favorites.


  807. Sarah

    i loveeeee 55b1……. TOTALLY EPIC!!!


  808. Natalie

    I really like 551, 55b1 and 301. I don’t particularlly like 311, 31b1 , 331 or 33b1 though, the others just make you look SOO much better! But if I had to pick one I’d go with 551, your eyes are absolutly gorgeous there! :)


  809. Kyra

    Definitely 551 or 55b1. Nice, classy, and authory. Lol.


  810. TexasJazz

    I like 301 the best!
    I love the colors in the back!


  811. Jess

    551!!!
    I think that was the one, the one on the bottom thats colour…. (I’m Canadian so I spell that with a u!) :)


  812. Laura

    30b1 is the one!


  813. Bella (seriously)

    301 or 55b1 you look totally awesome in all of them but those two caught my eye


  814. Susie

    551 all the way!


  815. Susie

    wait on second thoughts 551b is better:P


  816. Mary

    55b1 makes you look the most distinguished/old/mature….but they’re all good.


  817. Susan

    i like 33b1


  818. Stephen Gris

    hey Kaleb,
    Cant wait for the book man
    definately 301 or 551
    because those are awesome
    id probably say 301 though


  819. Sara

    Either 551 or 55b1. Those are the strongest!


  820. Kenni

    551. this one would totally make me want to read your book!! :) all of them were great though!!


  821. Sarah

    I like 551 the best!


  822. Alexis

    Definitely 551, very professional


  823. Jaime

    I like 301 or 551.
    they both look fantastic.
    But if it was up to me I would choose 301. It just looks very…cool, i guess you could say. Good luck! Can’t wait for the book!


  824. arlene

    i love 55b1!!!!!!!!!!!!!


  825. Jake

    Well, I like picture [30b1] because it is a you + a miror image of you which draws the eyes to the photo, I also like it because its black and white and shows that your a suffisticated author and that you take your work very seriously. Its an excellent photo over all, and I think that you should use the photo [30b1].


  826. Kayla

    My favorite is number 551!
    Good luck picking one, they are all good!


  827. Jessica

    I would definitely go with 55b1. That one is my favorite overall.


  828. Johanna

    551


  829. Anita

    I like 551
    u no looks really professional


  830. YetAnotherTwilightFan

    I say 551!


  831. Melissa

    I like 30b1 and 551 they are all really good though. But those are my favorites.


  832. Danielle F.

    Definitely 55b1. It makes you look older (you look terribly young for an author’s photo of any kind…because you ARE terribly young, haha). The black and white adds an edge of professionalism, if you ask me. Also, the angle does nice things for your features. You look very handsome. Dashing, even.


  833. April

    55b1 because it’s a very professional look and the black and white effect make you look older.


  834. Claris

    Definitely 55b1!is awesome!


  835. Patricia

    Definitly 551. It’s the best picture of the bunch


  836. nethcullen

    I like 551.
    The red bars added some beauty to the photo.:)).


  837. Belexx

    I would go with 55b1 ;)


  838. camila

    I like your expression on 551 the best, but the reflection in 301 is also very nice. Good luck with choosing.


  839. Ash

    55b1


  840. jess

    i think that you should go for 551/55b1 but use the same colors as Simon Vanbooy


  841. Meghan

    I like 551 :) It looks very professional.


  842. Meghan

    Ooo! You should use 551 in sepia tone!!! I don’t know if it would look good…but you should try it out. That would look cool.


  843. Emmalime

    K just like ever other smart person has said i think you should do 551! It looks supper nice and it really brings out your eyes!!


  844. Beth

    I really like the first one at the top on the left the colors are really beautiful but the close up right under it is also beautiful because the color in the background shows off your eyes exceptionally well.


  845. catt

    55b1 Love love love love love it!!!


  846. JennaDaisyCuellen

    551, love it!!


  847. Colleen

    I like 55b1. Definitely go with black and white :)


  848. Jessica

    i think 551 is nice


  849. Alana

    55b1 =]


  850. Carla

    55b1 for me is the best pic….good luck babe x


  851. Kelsey Rider

    I would say 301 because i love how the green in the background works… and the reflection looks really neat

    … or 551 because of the red things in the background, the color looks great and I really like how it gives a… uhh… [geometrical? abstract?] look

    … or 33b1 because I love the sophistication and style that comes with black and white photos and that one is the best looking black and white one

    … in my opinion

    ok, yeah, probably didn’t help much


  852. tawney

    301 DEFIANTLY! :)


  853. Alexx

    I like 301 best.
    I love the mirror effect in it.


  854. Jacki

    301 [; cool reflection! :D


  855. Micaela

    either 551 or 55b1
    551 shows your really blue eyes but for 55b1 the black and white effect looks really cool


  856. Kelsea

    301 is my favorite (:


  857. Kayla D

    55b1 (:


  858. jessica

    55b1 for sure =]


  859. Annie

    I like 551, it’s like I’M AN AUTHOR all over it!
    B&W is misterious but I don’t think it fits for author pic… just my thoughts… =) good luck!


  860. Becky Silverman

    Definitely 301 or 551… If you want a really good distance pic, like Miss Rowling’s, then 301 is perfect… but if you want a nice headshot, like our Mrs. Meyer, then 551 is your pic… Those two are definitely better than the other…


  861. katie m.

    go with 301.

    you look hot in it.

    -katie m.


  862. Savannah Laurent

  865. Kathy Anne

  878. georgina

  879. Brooke

    B&W is classy.


  880. Sara

    Kaleb,

  881. Madison

    331


  882. Laura

    55b1, definitely!


  883. Elizabeth Teusch

    You have a very weird smile. I like the last one (55) in black and white the best.


  884. Emma

    I think either 551 or 55b1.
    551 brings out your eyes beautifuly, but then 55b1 looks really professional and author-ish.


  885. KittyGoddess

    55b1 for sure.


  886. Ekina

    I like 33b1!


  887. Ekina

  890. Taylor

    omg i defintally luv 30b1 at the top right.. Its professional yet different from normal author photos


  891. Carolyn

    I am partial to #311


  892. Joanna6618

    551! and make it in colour cause the black and white ones make ur face look REALLY pale and weird! (no offence)


  893. Helencat

    I would say that I like the 55b1 because I tend to like the black and white shots. But I noticed that 551 is seeming to get a lot of votes. That would be my second choice.
    Hope this helps.


  894. Wani

    I’d say 551, it looks nice.

    Though I think it’s too bad there’s none in which you smile, you look so handsome (or should i say dazzling?) when smiling~! :)


  895. Sarah Graham

    I think that perhaps the photos are a bit mature when compared to your personality, and the way you behave in your videos. I dont mean it to say that you are not mature, but when I see those photos I think as though you should be in your thirties/forties rather than early twenties. It seems too sofisticated I guess you could say. However, that being said, to choose one, I believe I would select 55b1. The bars in the background give a highschool type setting (they look like railings to stairs in a high school, as if you were sitting against them*)to the photograph, connecting you to other readers of a similar age group. Also the black and white equalizes your face and the background and I find my eyes are more focused on your face. Also there are multiple angles to the shot, your photographer did a great job. So there you have it, that is my opinion, and I wish you nothing but the best. I am pursuing a writing career of my own, so I hope I do just as well as you and some of my other favourite authors in the future. Goodluck :)

  931. somnus

    551 or 301.
    Much as i like the b/w thing, think the colour ones are better.

    But you're looking good in all of them.

    snaps to Amy Howe for doing a great job btw.

  940. Natalie

    I really like you in 331 and 551. They make you stand out more and show us that you have a serious side to what you are doing. That is very good.


  941. Beth

    I like 55b1 the best. You look mature in that one, but still like yourself. You look… COOL. Absolutely my favorite.


  942. LuvsSpunkRansom

    I like the 301 photo in color.


  943. x3BruNa

  944. Megan

    This is hard because I like them all but I think my favorite is 31b1.
    I love you Kaleb!


  945. Andrea

    i like 551 and the gray version as well
    but…
    301 is also very cool and visual
    you look quite dashing in all of them though


  946. lepi19

    551 definetly, no offense, but looking at these in black and white look really creepy, at least in my opinion. So my favorite shot is 551


  947. Kerry

    I would go with 331


  948. Kerry

    I AGREE WITH JOSIE B


  949. Savannah

    551 in color. it's a great pose and i LOVE the bright colors and your eyes look really green and gold. *double-thumbs-up!*


  950. thenonperson

    All very cool, but I think you should go with 55b1. The red bars in the background of the colored version distract the eye.
    Good luck!


  951. Caroline

    Most definitely 551.

    All the best!


  952. Amy

    55b1

    It is amazing! :)


  953. twilighter095

    totally 551 nice hair


  954. Sophie

    if you want to go for a more matured yet professional look, choose 30b1
    your eyes are so colorful in 551 so i really like that one. it' s really hard to choose :


  955. Aimee

    Either 301 if you want to use a color picture, or 31b1 for a black and white.


  956. tarinya

    i like 55b1 the most…. i'm all for black and white :)


  957. Madison Kolke

    I really like number 301 its colorful and the mirror effect is really cool! I'm so excited for Bran Hambric! I've been saving money for it FOREVER!!!

    I like 551….very professional :)


  959. Sabrina

    55b1 looks really good!^^


  960. Alice

    i deffinatly think either 30bi or 55bi but for sure one of the black and white ones, it looks more fanastic!
    :D


  961. kalebssss fannnn

    55b1 <3


  962. AmyLeem

    55b1

  966. Brianna

    331


  967. Andrea

    55b1 !! =D


  968. namey

    I like 55b1 The full body shots make you look really young for some reason
    The slightly overhead is more flattering. I don't know why I prefer the black and white maybe it give a feeling of mystery and sophistication.


  969. Hannah

    30b1….it is different and it makes you look kinda like a ghost in the mirror…totally cool…=]


  970. Gillian

    go for 301
    black and white is boring.
    and the others are too serious.


  971. jbafaith

    551


  972. jbafaith

    I like 551


  973. Name

    30b1. you'll have all the time in the worl to look “profesional” but you're story is about magic. the b&w photo w/ the mirror is both cool and erie at the same time. it really inspires a feeling of the strange and wonderful. deff the one i would pick
