Leave outdated photos up, or take them down?

[Kristy C]

I have a question that I would like everyone's opinion on.....

Most of my photos on all of my social networking sites are pretty old. I have been at a stand still with shooting for quite sometime, except for a few within the last year/year and a half, and one by Mitzi from '08.

My look has changed so much and so has my body. I am in way better shape now then in alot of my old photos. Looking back at alot of these, I am almost embarrased to have them up.

I am torn between two thoughts here. I really feel that if someone is taking me into consideration for a shoot, they might look at my old photos and say "No way!" That old stuff really is not a good representation of what I can do NOW. On the other hand, if I only have 2 or 3 albums up, that person may not feel that I have enough experience.
So the question is, leave the old ones up to show I have experience, or take them down because they are not good!?

Thanks!

I vote for leave them up unless there was a drastic change in your appearance, hair cut/color doesn't count.

I am just so out of shape in the old ones. Also, I have 2 new, big tattoos as well.

Make seperate albums, thats what albums are for, dont toss out great older work, just label the years/months whatever to show whats your most current.

I saw keep them - I have loads that I thought about taking down as they are no longer "me" but when I thought about it they were me at some point and sort of chart my life, especially those taken over the last ten years.

If there are any you are particularly embarased by then that's up to you, but I've even left some bad ones up to show how great I am now, lol. :D

Depends. I'm on ModelMayhem a lot, and the consensus is always that you should only have your best work up. The idea of putting them in a separate album would work if you can't bring yourself to let them go.
