I personally prefer when there are a lot of pictures available (and that includes the older ones), but those should be in folders... What I prefer, and this is just my opinion, is for the lady to showcase what she believes to be her best stuff front and center...
So when I click on "portfolio", "gallery" or "photos" - ideally for me I would imeediately see all that YOU consider your best.
Sure, it's nice to have the option to look into the older stuff in folders (or link to an archive page, or whatever method), but I look at the ladies here as artists that should feel free to showcase what they believe best represents them.

As a provider that is constantly getting new photos, I would love your opinions. I am sure the ladies would like to see the feedback too so we know what pleases you!!!
Currently on my website when I get new photos I put them on all my pages, except the galleries. Then I move the older photos into the galleries. At this time I have galleries for separate years and mark the photos with the date it was taken. It is alot of work getting new photos and reorganizing our websites...however it is also fun too!!
I feel it is soo important to keep photos current so that you know what you will see when you come and visit with me. It is fact that we all change over time. However, there are sooo many sexy, great photos that have been taken in the past I hate to not put them up. Plus, I and I am sure the other ladies do as well, love getting messages from the gents that tell us which photos they enjoy.
As most of us ladies know how important it is keep our photos current...what about how we organize them on our websites.
So...what do you prefer?
1. Only keep recent photos taken within the last 3-6 months?
2. Only keep photos taken within the last year?
3. Create only one page for all older photos but yet a great selection for your viewing?
3. Create galleries or folders of all past photos, of course with the date on them?
4. What do you feel is the limit to photos on our websites? Is too much really a turn off?
Ladies and gents feel free to give your feedback. This is meant to be a constructive, helpful post. Please if you have nothing positive to say...then please refrain...
I am excited to see the answers and how we can all better serve those who view our websites.

to clutter-up the page; perhaps a folder by month (January 2010) or three-month period (January - March 2010).

I really don't care how old the photo is as long as the photo represents the person I see when the door is opened.
Photo's that misrepresent IMO have no place on the site.
....a visual beast, which seems to be also the way with most men in general. With that in mind, photographs really are key in the process. In a perfect world, I prefer a mix of professional and candid, and always the more the better. That being said, I also believe that all photos posted should be representative (sometime older still works there)...nothing worse than having the door open and the first thought in your mind is "who is this?"
I like option 3.

I do not like photos that have excessive skin softening applied in post-processing. To me it just doesn't look natural.
In my particular case, I only keep current photos on my website so the gents have an up- to- date idea of how I look like (I changed my hair color recently). I also take pictures frequently so my viewers have a variety of options to look at, and I try to be creative with my photoshoots. I determined that good number of photos is anywhere between 10-12 images. I read in one of the postings on this thread that blurring is not a preference, but I certainly think that we are entitled to keep our privacy also being that we have many things to risk in this business and in our future plans. Many of us work in the town we reside, so it can be a bit difficult to preserve our identity having our face exposed. Society outside the business can be very cruel and judgmental.
