Anyone got any suggestions? Looking to expand my portfolio!

PM if you want his info

Just a word in re to Aldo, Many of us don't believe a "thing we see" when viewing Aldo pics. His reputation, deserved or otherwise, for photo shopping is legendary. So much so that when a lot of us see an Aldo pic, we simply assume the lady is twenty years older and 30 pounds heavier.

I don't really want to slam the guy, but it's not just my opinion. There are a LOT of guys who have the same opinion and quite frankly, that can't be good for business. The lady's business that is, not Aldo's. I don't really care one way or another about his business, but I have a built in bias whenever I view any woman with an Aldo photoshoot. An Aldo photo shoot is like a MacDaddy 10-10 review, meaningless. lol

did I miss the joke?

The OP asked for advice, speaking as a monger, I pointed out the downside of using a photographer who has the reputation for photo shopping to excess.

Whether Aldo is simply "pleasing his clients" or not, the fact remains that MANY guys don't believe what they see when looking at an Aldo photo shoot, and that can be bad for a ladies business. That is a undeniable fact and has been the topic of many a thread, both here, the GD board and many other regional boards. If you don't believe me, simply do a search on any regional board, every major board has had an Aldo thread at one time or another.

I have taken photos of some women here, and I have seen Aldo take photos of the same women.  I will say that Aldo photoshops as much or as little as the individual woman request.  I think that those women who feel that they NEED a lot of photoshop thinning, trimming and enhancing, will get it from him. But I can point to a few that have very minimal editing as well.  He's simply pleasing his clients.

I wanna hear things that no one can as well!

I'm sure Aldo's ears are burning red at all times. What is the point of your insight particularly

My point is that using Aldo can have a negative effect on a lady's business. How much clearer do I need to say this before it sinks in?

You are free to disagree of course, but my the point of my post was pretty fucking easy to understand. And I am not repeating the previous poster or anyone else but myself, because apparently you don't understand plain English. So I guess it bears repeating.

Plus, GaG is spot on in his assessment. My experience in relying on Aldo photographs as an accurate barometer of a woman's appearance has been extremely disappointing: to the point I won't consider seeing anyone who uses him. Just my 2 cents.

a STUPID psychopath of course. lmao

Himmler as an alias? What a dick.

I like his work. Very detailed, clear, you can feel freshness, like a spring air Thank you.

Ill keep that in mind!

I'm not just looking for business photos to be done, I also model so I want to work with good photographers... I will check out the Jeff guy. Fortunately I don't need any Photoshopping. I Keep my chocolate skin flawless, and the only thing Aldo could do weight wise is add some, lol I'm only 120 pounds to begin with lol. Keep the suggestions coming though!

It's a site for models and photographers. And yes, I beleive Aldo can be found on the site along with other  budouir photographers. Just make sure to check out the photographer.

Yes I'm on model mayhem. I figured it couldn't hurt to look here as well though.

He makes 6's look like 9's, so just like with grade inflation where "everyone" is a 10-10, those who don't need it are the losers, as we can't tell the difference between who was photo shopped to look hot, and who is genuinely hot.

Aldo IMO is just like grade inflation, it's the truly hot girls that are the losers, and I might add that after checking out your ad, I would agree, you certainly don't need any pounds photo shopped off.

Thank you. I just asked on here because it's easier to use photographers that know what the photos would or could be used for rather than a newbie photographer thinking I'm some type of pornstar or whore and then I end up getting branded wrong. I like work in with photographers that can help enhance the photo, some photographers don't know what they are looking to get out of photography. They just want to perv on naked women. lol

I've mentioned this before, there are tell-tale signs that a photo has been altered. Aldo is very good at making heavier women look thinner but blowing up the photo and looking in the right spots can easily show where alterations were made.

but why would I want to work that hard? I hate to say this, but when viewing an Aldo pic I usually do the opposite of giving the benefit of the doubt,  and I assume the worst. I know I am not the only guy who does this, so it can't be good for a ladies business, which is why I steered the OP away from using Aldo.

She did a majority of my photos; my photos are very accurate and representative.  Very little photoshopping done, other than retouching like out-of-place hairs, lint, and things like that.  

Thank you!
