...So pretty(:

I saw you once... during a... You know... So I already knew you were a lil' cutie... was hiding in a corner though... too shy too approach Originally Posted by XOXO Karla

Thank you for the compliment! I wish you had come over. I don't seem nervous at the socials but, being a chatty cathy is one of my nervous things lol

SA has a TON of beautiful ladies. I have a few favorites myself. Inside and out I have noticed. I am VERY happy to call it home (: That's a good thing considering I have a 30 year note on my house

MsPrittiKitti everyone is right your pics are no where close to the way you look in life. I even got to see you not all dolled when you came over to get a puppy and you still looked absolutely amazing!!!

Nena, I've met you in person and your pics DEFINITELY DO NOT do you any justice love!! Originally Posted by Tracy Auburn

Bailey just saw that picture, very nice,what a great smile.

Retouching and editing is fine,as long as the reasons are for security, and not to deceive. IMO Originally Posted by Keyzer Soze

I must have missed that ad also. That is a great pic, you can tell how beautiful and sweet she is just by looking at it.

I also agree that security has to come first and if tattoos and face shots need to be blurred than so be it.

Hiding face/tattoos is completely acceptable, as with any other identifiable marks.
Light retouching is fine too. What I can't stand is those that do heavy retouching to every square
inch of the photo. Makes the woman look like, plastic? It's even worse when its done by someone
who has no idea what they are doing.

+1

I definitely agree, THATS what I was talking about exactly when I started thread!

I love Tracy's new pics in her showcase

especially this one...

...it gives me an affection erection

I've learned not to take any chances...I take my own personal airbrush to each session...just in case!

Oh Tracy I love love love that one! Please forgive me if one day I steal that pose, thats very sexy!

Tracy is such a hotty and one of the sweetest girls. Super awesome company
And you too Karla

Okay girls... you are making me blush!!!! And of course you can steal my pose... lol! I need to get with Leo though soon to get better pics! These were all off my phone.

Flanker, you are the sweet one! I always have a blast with you.

I don't think any of our SA girls have issues with photoshopping though.. at least none that I've heard of so far! I might be skeptical of out of towners though... IJS.

Besos to you all!

Yes definitely!

Very good selection of REAL providers here...I travel and just see the craziest stuff. Like alot of those famous overused BP ad pics....I could pull them up in at least 5 other cities without googlesearch. Much of the issues brought up on this board are so, so much overdone than some might realize...
It seems scammers get more and more ballsy each year.

SA really has one of the better community on the boards than most places, and some of the hottest chicks..ijs (:

Well whomp whomp. I have mine edited. And has anyone ever noticed ? Nope but that's because they were edited great!!
I have my lighting editing, although I use professional photographers they don't always have the right light and it comes out weird so they fix it.
I have blemishes removed (any pimple or bug bit or scratch). This is because, these things heal and my clients won't see them when they come see me after the pictures are taken but they are forever in the picture if I don't have them removed.
I think editing should be minor, agreed. Originally Posted by Ember Simmers

I remember the day before my BLUE BUNNY PHOTO SHOOT... I had a date with Old Yeller and we were going to ATTEMPT to do DP with HIM & Mr. ROBOTO (Sybian)!! So, let's just say that this was a VERY INTENSE DATE... Of course, come to think about it... ALL of my dates with OY are INCREDIBLY INTENSE!! Lol...

Sigh... I digress... However, poor RUSSELL KENNA had to remove a SMALL BRUISE on my HIP...on about 50 photos... that had been left when OLD YELLER & I had gotten a tad bit CARRIED AWAY... LOL... and I didn't even NOTICE that he was gripping my hips rather tight... Lol... Oh well, at least Russell had something to TEASE ME ABOUT during and after the SHOOT!!

I would also like to add... that I THINK each photographer has a right... as a COLLABORATIVE ARTIST in a photographic venture... to make whatever PROFESSIONAL EDITING CALLS he/she deems APPROPRIATE before releasing the photos to the PUBLIC...

When you are working with a professional photographer... the photos are not just about the MODEL... they are also about the artistic eye and talent of the photographer taking the photos... so, for me to ever TELL a photographer NOT to edit his/her photos at all... would be the same as someone RESTRICTING my writing endeavors...and let's just say that I would resent that very much...

However, any professional photographer worth his/her salt WOULD NOT alter the photos to the point that they are misleading or in a way that would create false advertising... for if they did... they will quickly earn a very NEGATIVE reputation in the industry...

For what it is worth... my two cents...

I guess what this boils down to is that if when we meet I can't tell your photos have been edited, other than for ID issues, then it is not a problem. But if when we meet there are obvious differences then it is false advertising and wrong.
