Whether that subject matter starts as beautiful, thin, mature, what have you has absolutely nothing to do with it. The end result must be of value and draw in the viewer.

If you don't know what to say about the photographer's artistic talent or skills, simply appreciate the scene itself.when it makes ugly look beautiful, fat look slim, old look young or Aldo's Picture coming soon! Its a great compliment for his skill!! I wish I'm Aldo,
Aldo also increase the price range for ladies as well, so its good ROI for ladies from Aldo'sPictures.. Hobbyist you pay more...

Yes, Aldo does my ladies pictures, but I only allow him to remove tattoos if the lady requests it for privacy reasons. I dont have him airbrush the crap out of them. He has a great eye and knows how to bring the best out in the girls.
We do not charge more because he does our pictures, we are still less than every other service and most Indys.

This.
He is very good at what he does - and I would argue that he is actually very affordable given the quality of his work.
I don't think his involvement has anything to do with the end donation.
where I almost skip over ads that use his and other prof pictures. I am finding them to be so "touched up" it is nearly fraud? I am more inclined to like cell phone selfies even if they aren't so glamorous, it is a true representation. Plus if a lady changes her hair style or color she can update immediately and not have to spend a fortune getting new pics. But that's just my opinion
Touched up pictures are not the true representation's, tries to hide things!! like age, tattoos, remove extra padding,
He's definitely a good photographer, but I'm not a fan of his style. I prefer more of a glamour nude style as opposed to his softer boudoir style. Professional pictures are definitely worth the investment, although some do definitely over photoshop.
one of the provider mentioned coming with new picture from Aldo is she trying to hide her age or extra pounds...
He also can photoshop the dickens out of anything.
Photoshop is not always deception, that lies in the lady.
Aldo only photoshops what the lady in question is paying him to do.
I have shot with Aldo and he blurs my face does minor lighting adjustments and color adjustments because thats all I want.
dont hate the artist...direct the frustration where it belongs, to the lady whos pics do not represent her.
just my point of view

We all like different things and that's what makes this so much fun. I personally don't like toothpick skinny. I have seen a couple such ladies because I found them so attractive but feeling ribs and bones isn't sexy to me? I like a woman with curves so if she has them airbrushed out she may be loosing me by doing so.
One retired lady I used to see always posed so you couldn't see her butt. She didn't like it yet told me most guys complimented her on it and wondered why she didn't show it off in pictures?
You never know what someone will like/ not like so just be yourself.
I can understand an obvious tattoo or blurring the face for privacy but lets keep some truth in advertising because it will be mentioned in the reviews.
Xo,
Grace

Like Jess of Manchester here. Thanks Jess.
Just plane over rated in my opinion. He's mostly hype and reputation. Does some good work and does some crap, but if it says Aldo on it everyone says wow either way. Sometimes I can't understand what he's thinking with his use of light. Other times he's dead on.
As far as the Photoshop goes he's good at that. But you can't blame him he only does what the women ask for.
And yes since he's the gold standard having pictures by him adds to the provider's image as high end.
I liked Aldo Antonio and though he did seem a bit "too" into me, we never did a swap of services. He only charges $300 and I have spoke with photographers that typically charge $700-1000, which I'd never pay. I think the photos are a pretty accurate representation of women, though I specifically asked mine not be photoshopped.
I do, however, think new providers or those considered a professional should find a friend that does a great job! It's just as good. I know high end photos may help with marketing but in the long run I think our clients appreciate accurate ones.
Aldo also isn't making anything close to bank as some may think. He has a personal life and though as providers who likely make more, we have personal lives too, they supplement them. When he travels he has to pay for flights and hotels, which are pricy in cities with high end providers (generally) and I doubt the number of shoots he does a day yields a huge profit factoring in the cost of travel!
Just my two cents!

Very fair, well reasoned and nicely stated!
Not all painters are the same. Nor all photographers.
There is room for everyone's style and taste - subject or viewer.
I made my own choice, partly because I want a local photographer.
