This one is for the GUYS here. When looking at photo's.....

1) what you see is what you get --- Current Pictures --- Probably should be done in the last 30 days. If you choose to ignore this best most cardinal rule, then at least make sure they are honest to how you look now - not dating site honest, but real hard look in the mirror honest. We all think we are thinner and prettier and younger than we really are. Don't let your pictures miss lead even slightly - bottom line you want customers that want what you offer - NOT people who show up at the door and are like wow you've changed or is this really you? CL you get major kudos from me - you are a big girl and a beautiful girl ... not my cup of tea on the big part, so I would pass, but for everyone like me that is a pass there is one that likes a girl with a little meat on her bones. And you let your personality come out too.

2) I like to see your face, but if you hide it, I assume there is something wrong with it. buck teeth, Dave letterman split teeth, goofy nose, mole, birth mark. what ever if you are trying to hide something don't (for every perceived flaw you think you have there is a guy that finds it endearing) ... if you just want to be anonymous then post one that shows the top of your face and one that shows the bottom so we can see you aren't hiding anything (or left and right or some combination so that over the course of the picture series we have an idea you aren't hiding a flaw.)

Perspective: try and have something that creates perspective in every shot. What this means is a 9' woman and a 5' woman look the same on a picture with no background. relative size of both is indistinguishable, so you need to include something in each shot which everybody universally knows how big it is in order for the brain to place you in your proper context. Examples: Taking a butt shot - make sure you have a standard size pillow under your knees (everyone will then know how big your butt really is) (again if you think your buut is too big or too small fight the urge to hide it - someone will like exactly what you have to offer big or small). Bending over a table? set a plate on the table. (again everybody knows how large a plate is and that will place you and your stature in the proper context.) A few ideas of things that are "universally" standard - a card table chair, #2 pencil, ruler, pillow both standard and king-size, a pair of eye glasses, a book, a kitchen counter, stairs (vertically but not horizontally), etc. Why - because a lot of short girls look fat, because they have no perceptive in their shots. (a heavy 5'8" looks the same as an athletic 5'1" in pictures if neither has perspective)

Minimum: Face shot, Body shot diagonal stance (nude - we need to see your nips, Vajayjay, legs, and buttox).

Style: express your personally. honestly I am a video man. I can tell so much more about you just by seeing you move, talk, dance, but you should do the same with pictures too. Fetish friendly? give a couple shots or several depending on how many fetishes. I love POV shots (the camera is my eyes) you on your knees looking up at me, bent over (abolustely need persceptive in this shot) lying on a pillow looking over at me like you just woke up. (I mean what gets you hotter? A picture of Matthew Mcconaughey standing in a motel closet or lying on a pillow gazing over at you with that smirky little half smile as if he was lying next to you --- now you see what I am saying). clothes that show your personality - you don't always have to be naked, but enough nudity to see the parts below.

Parts we need to see: the V, boobs (including nipples), butt, legs, stomach bare, underarms, feet, hands and finger nails, starfish and crack area, face, teeth, eyes, current hair color and style, front and back. This pretty much covers all your fetish or fixated areas.

professional photos from non pros - 1) lots of light, sunlight, natural light, lamp light, flash all directions - if your thinking this is "way too much light" then you might have enough. 2) Color - nice pops of color - rule here is if everything is bright then nothing is bright, and use the colors to attract attention where you want it. 3) use action - don't pose - one really good way to do this yourself is use the video on your camera/phone to shot 5 minutes or so, then walk thru it frame by frame, and screen shot the ones you like, and crop as needed with a computer or any number of free apps. Many won't even need to be cropped. 4) use the full pictures as big as you can get them. (can't tell you how annoying it is to see one nice big picture and then 10 postage stamp pics that show absolutely nothing.)

Bottom line we all have something we are looking for, but it is different for everyone. Many of us are simply looking for variety itself ... for me I am looking for the petite athletic type, not a spinner wider side to side than a spinner what I call a cheerleader type, short height 5' and change or less, small breasts 32 - 36 or A to B maybe a small C, natural not man made, cute, bubbly not the exotic beauty, intelligent & smart, so when I look at pictures that is the check list I go over. If someone has enough of these attributes she is on my radar, if not she won't be. If I ever find all of them I am in trouble because she will probably be living in my home and I in my car <smile>

Everyone of us has a different list ... the best thing you can do is tell us as honestly as you can who you really are and let us decide if that's what we are looking for, because disappointed customers give disappointed reviews and customers that get what they want give the best reviews

25 year of marketing working here ... if anyone wants me to take a look your profile and offer an opinion or pointer or two I would like that ... or I could just go over it and tell you what went thru my mind as I looked it over. Please do not PM me if you are going to be offended with honesty - I will be honest, but I will also try to be kind BUT:

As my favorite author the wizard of ads says, sometimes, "the risk of insult is the price of clarity"

I would never purposefully try to hurt anyone's feelings, but if honest criticism could possibly make you angry please don't take me up on my offer. I am doing this to make new friends here, so I certainly don't want to make even one enemy.

The top 2 turnoff photos imo are selfies in a hotel bathroom mirror and ass out, back to the camera with hands on the wall.

WOW....5t3v3,
Great writing and I actually read the whole thing...LOL
I can understand everyone has different taste. I'm definitely not new to the hobby life. But as they have always said...you add 10-20 lbs on tv. Well, that goes the same with photos. I know I'm a big lady. I've never told anyone different. I make sure that its in my website and on my showcase my stat's and so you guys know that I am a small bbw. I would not call myself a normal bbw though. but small. I have grown ass kids. C-section etc etc. medical issues that make it harder to lose weight and end up giving up. But you know what....I'm comfortable with the way I look and no one has to see me if they don't want too because I make sure that every one that does see me has a great time. Like I just mentioned to someone else a few minutes ago. "I'm no porn star actress that when sees someone for the first time can act like I love you for what gift you are giving me or scream and yell when jr slides in. I'm what they call a "true GF experience". So just understand that. But I will make you feel very comfortable and go from there." But I do have porn star qualities that only those with great chemistry gets too see.

But, anyways...the reason for this thread is too see what you guys are really interested in seeing. As I want to keep adding new photos to my collection all the time. I'm addicted after my last shoot as the "umbrella in the park" is my favorite. This too me, is my job. Not a hobby. So, I'm always wanting to better myself. Do some research. etc etc. So I appreciate all the insight. As for the face pic.....DG threw that one out there long ago. But I'm not hiding anything and everyone that sees me whether it be here, a dating site (which does have my face pics) all say when they meet me that my photos do not do me justice. A 2-diamention just does not even come close to what I look like in person. I'm better!

Okay, I'm done. Have fun and stay safe!!
Happy 2015!

Plus...I don't mind sending a face picture to an email if someone is interested in seeing me. Just as long as I know that I'm not sending the photo to a family member of mine. But I won't be posting any on my showcase here just in case. Just like you guys need to be discreet. So do I.

Non-professional photos can be fine, but one of the biggest turn-offs for me are pictures with messy backgrounds.

The mirror shots with all the hairspray and makeup everywhere on the counter. Bed shots where the bed is all rumpled up and not made (not talking about artfully mussed sheets). Shower shots with shampoo and funky grouting in the background. Living room shots on dirty apartment grade carpet with random stereo equipment and fast-food cups in the background.

Those are things that take only a few minutes to fix and can be done free of cost with just some effort. If someone chooses not to address those things and just lets it go as 'meh, good enough', it leads me to believe that will take the same low level of care into a session and lack attention to detail.

And if I wanted to see a dirty bathroom mirror, I could stay at my own house, thank you very much!

Well no naked shots for me. Im more mysterious. I show just enough to get you interested. My photos are professional shots. I update once a yr. And PLENTY of gents here know how my face looks.

Takes about 6 seconds for me to decide if you're right for me. Pro photos are great but doesn't much matter. I look at overall figure. A nice face and teeth are winners. The pics you choose to put up and the things you write in your ad tell me enough about you. I also read through your reviews to see if others had a good time.

perhaps lost in the shuffle, but I was actually very impressed with your honest and stylish presentation of your self. You are indeed unapologetically you. You can tell you like the person you are and that in and of itself is sexy. Are you my primary type "no", but I would go so far as to say you would be high on my list if the time ever came to add some variety. Your honesty and attention to details shows you are intelligent, self-assured, creative and quite sexy in your own special way. And, in fact most of what I wrote you already incorporate in your website. I would much rather see a provider such as yourself that is open and honest than some of the others that try to be something they are not. Anyways, I just wanted you to know I think you are doing a great job, but then, I really don't have to tell you do I your results speak for themselves, right?

Awww, well thank you. I do my best. I love to please. When I find someone that appreciates my kindness and there's a connection. I do go over and beyond the norm. I have been told that I have not the typical provider. In fact, I know il not your typical. That's why those who have ventured out to see me....come (cum) back.

It says a lot that you even took the time to visit my website. Who knows...maybe one day you'll want to try a different kind of dessert and I'll see a special PM in my inbox. Enjoy it while you have it.

New photos coming soon.

Real updated pictures. I hobby because I like to play with beautiful women that look good in and out of the bedroom.
#2 Reviews to be sure she enjoys what I enjoy

Ideally I'd like lots of current and non-retouched pics from different angles showing unblurred face, stomach, and enough of a woman's body to pique my interest. Realistically though since many don't show unblurred face pics for entirely valid reasons, a full body shot with a blurred face is better than a cropped image. Also, I agree that something in the image to provide perspective is great. I've seen a ton of pics that made a girl look big when she's actually tiny simply because there's no reference point in the picture to provide perspective.

Naked isn't necessary but provocative is. A good mix between pro pics and selfies is nice too. Pro pics tend to be more provocative because of better color theory, posing, lighting, and composition but a certain amount of retouching is expected and the selfies reassure me that what I see is what I'm going to get.

I'm suspicious when I see artful draping or camera angles hiding the stomach area or pics so fully clothed that I can't make out true body shape. I assume that if she had it she'd flaunt it...

Face and body shots do it for me. Prefer not to go in on someone who just has one or the other.

What about tattoos? There are some providers like myself who need to edit there tattoos for discretion. Would men prefer that we have them professionally air brushed where you see nothing and it looks like the provider is tattoo free or just a little blur/edit so you know they are there but they are not recognizable?
