Providers requesting photos "mandatory"

I have been reluctant to furnish pics. What do other do?
i don't like jumping thru hoops so myself i don't.
If it’s the Latind it’s SOP
Won't send a pic to any provider. Just a problem waiting to happen.
never send a photo and never send a deposit.
Personally, I never send pics. As far as Latino's go. Check out Karina's friends. There's a new girl today. Karina doesn't require pics and the $ is very reasonable. Just make sure you negotiate specific services (bbbj, bbfs) that you want in advance. Then you'll get want you want at a reasonable $.

If they ask for a photo, I send a picture of Benjamin Franklin - If they don't like that photo, I go somewhere else.
In the past, when I have sent photos (rarely) I have sent a publicly available photo. In the future, if I send a photo it would only be to a well known and highly respected provider like Bentley or BBG. There is nothing good that can come out of this.

While I realize safety is an issue for some of these ladies - my 20+ year experience in this hobby tells me that mongers are as much if not more at risk than these ladies. Sending them my picture does nothing to increase their safety.

It is a silly request.
I don't send as just too risky for me for obvious reasons. And especially from unknown/new/unreviewed providers always have scamsters in Latvia who specialize in putting together info for identity theft.

That said, it not that silly a request from provider viewpoint. Particularly for touring ladies who tend to have much more extensive screening they know nothing about you. Besides making sure person at hotel room door is same person who called, knowledge that lady has pic of you to go to Leo with presumably
presumably protects women from violence, theft, etc.
I don't send them and usually don't even reach out. A few have had it in the ad but never asked. One I explained why I wouldn't politely and she never responded. She didn't have it in her ad but wanted a photo of my ID or a LinkedIn profile. Ridiculous.
