I will be the first to admit, that as much as we all would like to know people by what is on the inside (personality, character, intelligence), pictures are indeed, worth a thousand words.
For me, pictures make a first impression. Especially in the hobby-world. Lets face it, physical attraction is important in this realm.
Now... this post is not directed at all the providers out there. But some providers do not have professional pics, and a lot just have simple camera\phone shots in the mirror (not bad in some cases - but please turn the flash off).
In any case - I have seen *many* instances where a real sexy girl has tried to take a picture(s) for their showcase, and have even gotten a friend\client to do the shooting, laying in a sexy pose maybe, in a room that was straightened up.. but have the meanest\miserable\bored look on their faces.
What gives? They look like they really don't want to be there. I guess some girls just want to look "serious" and "sensual" but poorly execute it? Others just look plain bored... All the pieces are there for a good looking photo... except the expression.
Smiles are beautiful, girls! A smile can make an awesome first impression when a guy walks in the room. It can turn the whole mood of the session around (in a good way) without saying a word.
Anyways... just starting a thread here... I am not trying to insult anyone, just wondering if anyone else notices this. And I would also like to get some input from the providers out there, too on this subject.
