The headless horseman

[rocketeer]

Good title for someones Lounge ID there

Anyway, thats getting away from the question.
Why, when posting pics of jacket/coat fits etc, do the majority of subjects not include their heads or faces? Even if you had the worlds worst fitting jacket you are unlikely to meet up with other members and be embarrassed. If relevant I always include all of me in 'Action shots' and only detail pics miss out bits of me.
Just curious

Don't know about others here are no pictures of me on line. I like it that way. I don't do facebook or any social media either. Also I suspect some don't want to be seen modeling clothing no matter how well it fits.

I used to just snap a pic and include my head/face but i think you get a better, close up shot of the actual jacket if more of the frame is taken up with the jacket...thus somethings gotta go lol plus I don't have to worry about weird facial expressions when I'm trying to hold the phone in a very unnatural position and press the button.

No reason other than that I find myself extremely ugly.

I usually cut my head when my face looks too ugly too show and I'm too lazy to repeat the pictures.

I just haven't locked down my blue steel yet

My mug is too damn ugly. It detracts from the beautiful jackets

Let's see some more shots of that shawl collared Thedi!

I'm 90% forehead. Hate to make people spend 20 minutes scrolling down to the actual jacket.

I'd be embarrassed by my cheesy grin whenever I wear my jacket. Already get enough kidding by the wife!

I think the head and feet and standing far enough from the camera complete the proportion of the jacket, and also simulate what others see you in your jacket in real life.
very hard to judge proportion without head and feet, or if too close to the camera

I could really care less if my head is in the shot or not but it does seem a little odd when folks crop them down to only show the jackets and jeans; I assume it's for security reason or something like that.

I've said some stupid, "what was he thinking?" stuff here and have been careless enough to show my face on the interweb. I don't recommend it. I get like ten emails a day from random women scattered about North America asking for dates and/or autographs.

Only show my face because I'm too stupid to use the technology to obscure it

One low-tech option

I never cover my face or hide it. I agree it looks better to just show who you are. I wear sunglasses a lot, but it's not to hide my face online. I just love sunglasses.

Glad I'm not one of the headless!!!!

 

[ton312]

Honestly, whichever showcases the jacket best is the pic I'll post headless or head-ed.

Tried wearing 'Sunglasses After Dark' during my holiday in Portugal last month. Nearly got run over trying to look cool haha.
