What kind of photos do we really want?

What do we really want to see before we pick up that phone and call?

Knowing the all the girls can't show their faces and we need to respect that.

What do we want to see?

Me personally am a ass man. not worried about nice tits or anything. So for me ladies show more ass in a side view. : )

First off a true representation of the lady (no excess photoshop). Secondly a clear clean photo. Some of the ladies photos are so grainy, over flashed, or just plain dark that it could be anyone in the photo. How about a complete shot.. not just an ass or part of the chest or half the legs...once again it could be anyone in those. I guess i'm saying a good quality photo. Now as far as what body part you want to see if you have a good complete body shot that's bigger than a postage stamp you can focus on what you want. Take a look at the majority of providers photos from Texas, they have their stuff together there. That's not to say other areas don't have some great photos but in my opinion Texas has it covered....

1. Updated photos
2. No glamour shots or airbrush photos
3. The total body front and back
4. If choose not show your face, then partial face shots are nice, especially the lips.
5. What I do like about studio photos are that they show the lady's creativity or how classy she is or can be.
6. Body part photos only, tells me the lady may be hiding something.

Face pictures less than 20 years old!

Just that the Lady in the Photos look like the Lady that meeets you at the door.

That does mean no glamore shots, and no PhotoShopping.

The majority of Providers is guilty of this. Just scan the showcases and see, it's no big mystery.

In defense of the Ladies, I think many Hobbyist are caught up in the fantasy so much that they forget that these are real live Women, with moles, warts, blemishes, and just about everything that magazines brush out.

Every woman that I have seen has been special in one way or another. I agree with Jackie, I am sure as hell not perfect and I never expect the lady to be perfect. Even the girl outside of the Hobby who drives me nuts is not perfect. I like the face and body shots. Not a big fan of the ass and boob shots, but I understand why a lot of girls use them since there are a lot of assmen and boobmen out there.

I like all the photos that are the opposite of your avatar!!!

I think an accurate representation would be key and a variety would be best. But remember most ladies do or will need to maintain some anonymity. But I will show you whatever like after screening... But remember we all have flaws and i dont see any of you posting any accurate pictures of yourselfs....

LOL Ladyred

My thoughts...

I don't mind a little photo shop, or glamour pictures. I like the photos to be artsy and or erotic. I don't like it when a provider only has tits and ass shots in the showcase, if so, i probably won't call. For me, the artsy/erotic shots help provide fantasy and seduction, and i love to be lured in.

Accurate. As much as the provider is comfortable with. NO THUMBNAIL size photos.

Photos should be recent, well lit, properly exposed and show as many attributes from as many angles as possible. But, they don't have to look like mug shots, a tasteful, even artsy presentation accomplishes the same thing.

As for the blanket "no photoshop" sorry, but a high resolution camera with bright lights see things differently than a human eye, and a photograph can be stared at for hours.

Some time in photoshop for color balance, dodging, burning, and cropping are an absolute minimum, along with noise reduction if a higher ISO is used. I'm also a sucker for black and white (cant' get more "unrealistic" than that), which is pretty much always done in photoshop.

I use photoshop to some extent on every photo I take, I try to read all the reviews of the ladies I've shot, and have yet to find one that says the photos didn't look like her, or more frequently, didn't look as good as her. And that's the goal!

More specific to the OP's post, I could just kick myself for not doing some serious ass shots of DallasBella; the last lady who posed for me. I must make amends!

In way of explanation about "dodging and burning" that is how I created the "mood" of this shot of DB, as a way to accentuate the lighting. Does it look like her? Yes, absolutely (well, she does actually look better in person). Was it "photoshopped"? Yes, probably 10 minutes worth. Would someone choose not to see her based on this? Only if they find beauty intimidating.

Personally, I like a well done portfolio of pics. I think 10-15 photos offers a good idea of what a provider looks like. Here's what I like to see:
1) Whole body shots from front, side and back-- preferably nude or at least semi-nude.
2) Several pics showing a variety of natural poses in states of undress or even clothed.
3) Several pics of outfits if she's into role-playing, modeling or fantasies
4) Face pic if she is willing.
5) Pictures that are recent (taken within past 6 months)

I just want to see the girl from a variety of photos in order to take in the complete package. I don't want to be surprised when we meet.

Here are things I don't care for in pics:
1) Poses or strategically placed "props" that hide tummies or any other possibly unflattering features.
2) Hustler style close ups of the privates. I don't mind a full body picture of a lady in a provocative pose to include ever so slightly suggesting she's playing with herself or spreading her pussy lips, but I just don't like the extreme close ups.
3) Airbrushed or hidden tats. I know some ladies want to "hide" these for privacy reasons; however, I make decisions based on body art. For example, tramp stamps are a big turn off for me. I most likely won't see a girl if I know she has a tramp stamp. So by hiding these, the ladies are misrepresenting themselves.
