Crew Cast

A triangle that isn't firing shouldn't get diagnosed after the shoot is done. Peter turns that into a standing rule this session, judging twenty Headshot of the Week entries solo and telling members to call, FaceTime or WhatsApp a verification shot before they shoot rather than submit a finished image with a broken setup. He also names jaw backlash as proof a smile is genuine and finally defines the long open tongue jamming situation as a teeth brightness mismatch, not a mouth shape fault. No entry clears his usual bar this week. Headshot of the Week still goes to Mike Woodland's shot, picked as the least flawed of the field.

Episode Highlights

Headshot of the Week: no poll winner, Mike Woodland picked anyway 10:43 No entry among twenty clears Peter's usual bar this week, so he names Mike Woodland's shot the pick anyway as the least flawed of the field at 50:56.

Camera height absorbed by a tighter crop 11:11 On a slightly high entry, Peter crops into the top of the head to absorb the height error rather than treating height and crop as separate problems.

One tilt direction fixes two faults at once 20:07 Tilting away from an inverted lean toward camera on the weak side clears a neck wrinkle and strengthens the jawline read in the same move, confirmed again at 20:46.

Jaw backlash names a real smile's tell 28:34 When a smile is genuine the jaw goes back into double chinsville, so Peter coaches subjects to hold the jawline out through the laugh.

A retouch fix for buck tooth brightness 29:31 Whiten and brighten the darker side's teeth toward the brighter side rather than leaving the mismatch.

Side lighting is off the table 36:23 Peter rules it out as a business viability call, not a taste preference, whether the light is a strobe or a window and reflector, restated at 37:07.

Send a verification shot before you shoot 45:14 Tired of diagnosing broken triangles from finished entries, Peter tells members to call, FaceTime or WhatsApp a test shot before they shoot.

Tongue Jamming Situation, finally defined 45:46 A top bright, bottom dark teeth mismatch makes the mouth read as more open than it is, and the fix is brightening the bottom teeth and darkening the tongue slightly, confirmed on a second entry at 46:37.
