Photagraphy - Question for the ladies.

I have a question for the ladies. When you seek the services of a photographer, what do you look for in that person? Do you stick with a professional photographer or do you go with novice photographers? Do you like to someone that has never been a client? Or do you go with someone that has been a client and may understand the business? Do you go with a male versus a female or the other way around? What are you hoping that the photographer accomplishes with the photo sessions?

Just looking at the photo of various ladies, I’ve seen where the same photographer has been used twice, but NEVER got a smile out of the gal. The poses were great, more Playboy than Hustler, but again, no smile. I always thought the photographer was supposed to pull out of the lady the personality she may not normally show; warmth, exciting, etc. Some photo’s used low budget props and came out great. Some photo’s used high end props and came out lousy.

Wrapping it up, when you go to pay the money for the photo’s, you are hoping they will market you better. Who do you look for and what are you hoping to get?

Hi Moneytree2012~
I like your post Ya ~ I'm super camara shy, and my photographer knows how to deal with me lol. He's never been a client, but knows this industry, as he shoots escorts on a regular basis... But now that you mention it, I wonder if a client shooting me (and getting me hot) would bring that "look" out into the photos?

When you asked about girls' smiles in the photo's~ I think alot of the time photos are cropped and blurred that maybe he takes that into consideration and focuses on perfect body shots. Idk, just a thought?

I want to have a summer shoot, so I guess now is the time to start planning, Thanks!! It takes months to get myself ready!

These were taken on the same day, which one do you like better?
I love my photographer. GOOD pics means GOOD business and GOOD clients.
