EF pictures

There's something about the pics of the women on the EF site that does nothing for me. I've never used the service (yet) but it seems they could market their women a little better with better pics, seems nearly all of the EF gals get great reviews but I look at the pics and it just doesn't work for me. Is it just my monitor and/or card? I bought a cheap replacement monitor a year or so ago.

I agree....can't really explain it, but the pics just aren't that flattering.

Most of the girls look to be attractive, but I think you guys aren't liking the pics because of the background, the carpet and the poses.

Whoever they used as a photographer did a bad job and I would never had paid a dime for those pictures.

Let me preface this by stating that everyone is entitled to your "Own Opinion"...
That being said. I think the photography on EF site, as a whole, is vastly superior to most of the imagery that providers use to advertise either here, or on BP, Sip Sap, Ter, or escorts. The imagery is well exposed, compositionally correct, and sexy, with out being overly revealing. EF is attempting to showcase there girls and show them as a "High End Service Providers" To establish this image they utilize a professional photographer to give them a "fashion model look". It is my opinion, that EF is doing an excellent job establishing a high end brand identity.

MsElena, I respect your opinion but I also disagree with it... I do not see any basis for your statement :

After reviewing your showcase and website my question for you is how much did you pay for your imagery?

Let me also state that I am not associated with EF in any way shape or form. I have never used there services or been in contact with them in any manor other than reviewing there website. I can not vouch for there services, or there businesses practices.

My sole reason for this rant is it really upsets me when people degrade a quality production. I'm all about constructive criticism. If you are going to degrade something make a specific point. Making broad unsupported statements that have no factual basis are just fallacy.

All the girls appear older looking IMHO.

I don't know...their photos are better than mine. lol. I think they look okay. Not the best I've seen but definitely not the worst.

Bulldog,

I've never met Brooke, but have spoken to her numerous times and like her from what I know. With that being said, I respect your opinion, but again disagree with it. If Brooke is going to try and market her ladies as high end, then the pictures need to reflect that marketing idea.

The backgrounds on most of the pictures don't mesh with the ladies skin tones which in turn makes the pictures look boring. They aren't posed in a way to highlight their assets, they're laying on what looks like cheap berber carpet and isn't coming across high end at all. If you truly believe that the photographer did a high end job, I hate to think of what your idea of low end is. Here is what I call, high end photography: http://www.houstonboudoir.com/ (click gallery and then click boudoir - the chick wrapped in pearls is super freakin sexy yum).


As for my showcase (which is one pic) and my website, well to be honest there are a few pictures on my site that aren't done by my regular photographer, so I didn't spend a lot on them. But, the pictures from my photographer run me no less than $500 per session. I get the pictures and the copyrights to them. She also has props, numerous different backgrounds and doesn't make me lay on berber carpet. But, she's also a specializes in boudoir portraits and erotic photos. I also never claimed to have high end photos either.

From what I gather the quality of the photos is certainly not hurting the ladies or the business. They remain in high demand and likely will at the standards that have been set.

I would not spend more money in this case.

MsElena, as far as high class photography is concerned, this one is way out HIGH CLASS. All of those girls are made to look like Goddesses. You sure do know your photographers. As for EF, I've only seen Bristol, but IMHO, she is a beautiful, sexy young hottie that I plan on seeing again. I suppose Brooke could do things differently, but so far, success is success and EF has a large following as I can tell. For what it's worth, you're not doing too bad in the pics department, either. Just IMHO. N2

This actually relates to an earlier thread about touching up photos...how much is too much? The site Elena linked to has a before/after gallery, showing what they can do with 'custom airbrushing'.

Enticing Flavors photos appear to have little to no airbrushing, filtering, enhancement, whatever...so I can certainly see alot of imperfections (and they don't look nearly as 'good' as some glamour shots)...but I like the idea of not being surprised.

CREW: If the other EF girls look like Bristol, and from what I gather they are up there in the looks department, the preceived idea that they do not air brush is perhaps a plus for EF. As for the gallery in Houston that MsElena pointed out, those folks are obviously pros at making ordinary girls look like goddesses and I was commenting on how sexy the girls looked. Like you, I too like the idea of not being surprised.

In general, the EF ladies I have seen look better in person than in their photos, although I can no longer say much about the current roster since there are only two left that I have seen. In general I don't care much for the poses/angles used, and the lighting isn't always flattering. However, I have the same thoughts about the photos of most of the providers I have seen--everyone seems to look better in person. So I don't think it's just EF. On the other hand, I tend to be wary of "glamour shots" that clearly bear no relationship to the day to day appearance of the lady.

I would say that they look natural and there is an appeal to that. What I find surprising though is the lack of reviews for the number of EF ladies on their site.

So I know people who make a living photographing weddings, engagements, seniors, and boudoir for a living. They tend to be pretty 'heavy' handed in the use of software to 'perfect' the person in the picture. Personally I don't like that approach myself. Minor touch ups is fine. Wholesale changes to the overall appearance is not ok (IMO).

Having said that I will say that every one of the women I have meet thru EF has been very attractive, sexy, and very capable.
