GUYS what do you PREFER? (ladies too)

i think taking a look at my showcase its apparent i like pro pics. I just havent been sitting still long enough to take self pics recently

I love playing dress up with a girlfriend and making a day of this and taking each others pictures..........But it is also fun to have a pro do some photos as well. So having a good mix of pictures, different outfits, positions and body shots is what its all about. Not into the hand held phone shots into the mirror look. This is my current career and I take pride in my Web page and showcases. But to each his own, and as its all about fun....................

Seems most ladies think pro pics are best. I really hate the artistic shots and black and white photos that really do nothing for me at all. A simple camera phone can be all you need. This subject comes up often and still seems most girls still only go for pro pics. Originally Posted by trey

The hand held self shots can be hot in a way, but having someone take the shots for you, directing you, encouraging you, positioning you, make you so hot and turned on that your inhibitions drift away and replaced with a sultry hot vixen that lusts for the affection of the camera, your loins dripping with desires that only the camera can capture is what I like to see...plus nipple shots, lots of nipple and ass shots, lots of nipple and ass shots and leg shots...lots of nakedness...and if you can get a snowball in somehow that would be perfect....

Professional photos are mostly airbrushed and fixed to look flawless. It's best to stick with candid because the boys will actually see what you really look like without being airbrushed. Candid is more realistic verses professional. You can always mix it up if you want, but why pay extra to get professional photos done when they will mostly look like you're fake. Just my opinion.

I tend to do a lot of photos for dancers, and I personally think that there should be good mix of cell phone pics and pro pics. I've never participated in the hobby, but have shot a few sets for providers, and my usual suggestion is that if you're going to take photos with a pro, use several outfits in your photo session, try to get pro photos done at least once a year, or once a quarter depending on your work and schedule.

As far as airbrushing and touching up, I don't suggest it. Sure, you want to get poses that flatter you, but still be honest. I think a full frontal pose, showing your figure, is a good idea. And unless you have a "serious look" to you, or you're a dominatrix, smile. Bathroom pics and blurred photos aren't the best pictures ever, but they serve a purpose and they're quick and easy.

A full shoot, with hair and make up, in a studio or great location works GREAT if you have a site and sell photos or videos. (I personally hate studios, I think they're bland and over done. I love location shoots.*)

Anyways, just my two cents.

I think both type of pics are fine.

I like a mixture of both, the pro pics can really capture at your best and generally have some great, sexy poses. The cell phone pic helps to tell me that the pro pics are a good representation of who will answer the door
