so question for guys and gals about photos

No not really I've had girlfriends take some of my best photos I'm also pretty good with selfies and my webcam.

Those pics in the cheap motels with the pimp showing in the background and the girl looking miserable always crack me up tho lol Originally Posted by Jules Jaguar

The Linday Lohan style mugshot in an orange jumpsuit is a turn off to some guys, but maybe not all.
Try not to have a Glock sitting on the night stand in the picture. At least hide it under the mattress.

Pics that are obviously not selfies, does not mean it was a client or a pimp. It could be just your favorite girl toy. I've taken pics of my ATF and she's taken pics of me. In fact, there are a few ladies here that do photography as a side gig.

Personally, I do have a couple of male friends from the real world that like to take photos. If the pic is good, why not use it?

As long there is no poop in the toilet when she takes her duck face sink pic.......

Oh and I'll add that a tripod mounted camera with a remote shutter trigger can take you as many high quality selfies as you want.

selfies are nice ... to me they convey a bit of honesty ... 'this is me ... simply me'. but i also have seen some professionally taken pics that were omg hot. the pics with the manager visible .. or the collection of poses which don't vary from girl to girl .. or the famous gun visible on the bed .. also not good.

You are going to get tricked either way. Professional photographers have better equipment and better editing skills. As far as selfies go, you are likely seeing the selfie that she liked the most out of roughly 50-100 that she took. Remember that when you see a bad selfie. That's as good as it gets with her.

I will give fat girls some props though. They experiment until they figure out the exact distance and angle for a face selfie that makes them look 30 pounds lighter. Once they find that spot they can nail the pic in the first try every time. Then go eat some nachos.

I think photography is one of the top three most provocative subjects here. The preferences and styles are all over the place. The funniest thing that happened to me recently was when I sent examples to a provider asking if she'd like to pose for me. Her response was that my photos, "look like family pictures. . . only naked-er."

Those of us who like to do photography for the sake of photography, paid or not, know better than most that editing to remove flaws to mis-reprsent does no favors for anybody. The best compliment is to read a review stating, "she looks better than her pictures," followed closely by, "she looked just like her pictures."

Considering the ladies I've shot all I can say is, damn, what a family! Incest may, indeed be best!

I think as long as you're not trimming off love handles, or turning a 190lb'er into a 120lb'er, or making boobs and butts bigger, it's not fooling the clients. Removing a couple zits or smoothing out skin a bit is fine.

You're SUPPOSED to look good in pictures. Nothing wrong with glamming up and having bright lights. Anyone using their body for 'business' needs to MAINTAIN that business at a high quality level.

I've actually been told that seeing Megan Love in the mirror working the camera in one of my pictures is a turn-on.

Not at all......someone has to take the pics. I personally do not like the self pics with the arm stretched out or the in the mirror shots and/or with cam then the flash taking up half the pic. Originally Posted by davidfree986

does it ever throw flags up

when girls have pics or videos the someone else obviously took?

meaning someone is holding the camera, does it cause reason for caution?

sorry again for being MIA it's been a crazy Con season, and with growing popularity it keeps going up Originally Posted by !VI!

I'd like to shoot some Cosplay under controlled conditions with solid backgrounds to facilitate adding digital backgrounds, either hobby related or "civilian". The snapshots at the conventions just don't do it for me. But I can certainly see the potential.

Not a hijack attempt, just a bump slightly to the side.

Sorry, I was distracted by the blonde with the creamy, shapely butt.

I just wish more ladies would smile in their pics!

I'm not a professional, but I do a lot of photography and have a good camera. Kind of a photo-hobbiest. I've done shoots for providers who have used them in their profiles. And I've gotten requests from a few others that I haven't had the chance to follow through on. So, no, it doesn't bother me when I see a non-selfie here on ECCIE.
