Anyone notice that the head shot photos american swimmers on London2012.com were poor to terrible.
Take a look at:
Lochte & Phelps
Franklin
Beisel
Vollmer
Soni
Lauren Perdue
Hersey
Adams
At least Allison Schmitt's is one of the better ones &
her warmth comes across.
My guess is these pics were used on their Athlete IDs. They look like the subjects were given little warning, shot by an ameteur early in the morning before practice, then thrown together in a hurry at the last second.
No Make Up.
No Pro photog
Poor Lighting
No Photo Shop
Blank expressions most with little emotion from the subjects
They also lack uniformity on how much of the swimmers face is featured. Some are up close, some are futher back.
Now on the other hand
Aliaksandra HERASIMENIA who got 2nd in the 100 free, her pic looks model gorgeous. Is she Katherine McPhee's long lost sister?
Which leads me to believe USA Olympic Swimming shot ours and turned them in as opposed to all athletes being processed in their first day at the Olympics like students getting their Student IDs.
