garner the same reticence from me. Either way it's deceptive advertising.

Got a question for you all...   When are a providers photos too outdated for you to trust?    

For me, if a girl hasn't posted new photos in over 2 years, there's something going on.   I've have first hand knowledge of this.  The photos were great; they're of the girl in question; but they were taken years ago and aren't a good representation of what she looks like now.  It's kind of a bait and switch in my opinion.   I've been around this for scene for over 20 years, and there's a few girls I know of who are still using the same shots after all this time.  For me, that sets off a red flag.

Have you noticed this?   Does it keep you from booking someone?

Like you, I've noticed the same thing for a number of ladies.  They continue to use the same series of photos for quite some time.  It does set off a red flag if they haven't been reviewed for some time.  I'm more likely to skip them because of my prior experience.

There someone I saw about eight years ago and her photos haven't changed.

....so chances are that I'll get taken in at least once at some point. So far all of the providers that I've booked with have posted current photos. But if I did come across a provider that was decidedly different than her photos on either looks or age, I will be a bit miffed. But if her performance is solid, I might book again, knowing what she really looks like. But I would (gently) flag it if I reviewed her.

I have noticed one provider in particular who charges 450 an hour in the area who has had the same photos since 2010.  I have always wondered why she never has any new photos especially at that rate

You're success will depend on whether you take chances on occasion or not.  I've taken those chances on those without a review more than once.  But that was my pre-TER days and I learned an awful lot during that time.

yes for me. I have asked a few girls on if they have updated pics cause the one sthay have up are almost 1-2 years old.
Then she went ballistic in me saying you don't trust me. Back and forth with her. I then told her I know the last giy that reviewed you and said her body is no way like the pics what he told me.
And she finally admitted to saying she has not posted new pics cause she has gained weight.  And, though giys wouldn't see her if thet saw her new pics.

I only see girls who have current pics. That is just me. I hate "False advertisement"!

Pics sell which is why Playboy has been so successful.  

We guys love imagery and we love sexy women!   When we see a sexy looking escort, we get excited and start researching the lady more. If the reviews are just as impressive as the pictures, we will make contact.  

DkG is correct, there are several ladies using old pictures, some going back 8 plus years (Yes, I am old now too ).  I understand why they keep their old pics because they have to compete with the younger ladies but it is a bigger disappointment when we show up  and you do not look even close to your pictures.  

An east coast lady I know is always spending for new pictures. Her rates are higher than most, so she has to keep her pictures current because of the session she provides.  As she told me, her client deserve the best.  
She also told me the reasoning why some ladies do not give references for guys past 6 months.  
If ladies are following that rule with references, then maybe they should apply that to their pictures but that is just my opinion.      

Have Fun Hobbyin

I want to be sure that my clients are happy and the session goes flawlessly, so I've gone to alot of lengths to make certain I am the same as my pics! I not only have pro pictures but also a gallery of unedited selfies, posted on twitter and a youtube channel.  

I saw a gals pic that had a warped tree in the background, it was around her waistline and it looked really weird..not sure why that happened? An EXTRA enlarged butt and I'd fire any photographer that edited out my clevage and boobage. YIKES!

I don't have the time or energy to try to justify other providers rates. I hope they also provide a quality experience for their clients. My body/hair rarely change but I still update via twitter and my website like a lot of ladies do.

Seriously: TER should require recent reviews and recent photos to say on the top 100 list.
But that's a lot more work than they pay their staff I'm sure...

Several of the "top" ladies in my home city have photos that date back to over two years ago.
It's one thing to have old photos mixed with current ones but to have ONLY the extremely dated images and to still use them is baffling to me. Pro photos aren't cheap but I guess they have enough regulars to not worry about misleading new dates (that is to say if the photos are no longer accurate).

Totally Agree, GoldieKnox.   Hard to believe some girl hasn't changed at all in 2 years... not even their hair color or length?

I have seen some providers who are still using pictures from 5yrs ago.In my opinion any pictures used after two years are outdated pictures.These are not lower rates providers so don't really know why they do not pay for new pics.Or at the very least have a client or friend take some new updated pics with a digital camera that does not cost anything but time.Maybe there are some providers who feel like their body has not changed so they don't feel the need to get some fresh pictures to update their ads and website.

In my opinion I always like to have new pictures not because my body has changed but because I feel guys are visual.Who wants to see the same pictures from years ago?I do a photo shoot twice a year I like a variety of outfits and backgrounds.As a matter of fact even though I did a shoot in March I am doing another shoot this month nothing changed with my body/look but I like to do photo shoots they are fun.

I don't think every lady who has ever used Aldo is deceptive advertising.
I have used Aldo in the past and for the past two years working with a well-known female photograper as well.
I feel as long as a lady has Aldo's pictures but also photos from other photographers as well showing the same body nothing deceptive about that in my opinion.But if a provider has pictures from Aldo and shows up looking like her pictures what is the problem?
I guess every provider who has ever used Aldo which is probably in the hundreds will be lumped in the same category as deceptive advertising.Okay got it...

 I didn't say "every lady who has ever used Aldo is deceptive advertising".  
I said I am "reticent" as is when prior knowledge or clues in the photo give away a decade or more of its/her actual age.  

 Aldo is a digital photographing wizard no doubt; but how far does he extend his wizardry?

Not sure about this one, GWD.  I haven't run into a issue with his photos matching the lady in question.    I know a few girls that use Aldo's photos and they're spot on.

Weight, or hair color changes.  I always take new photos because my friend is my photographer.  I keep my website updated with fresh photos, but sometime I may want to use an older photo.  I do not lie about my weight.  I am not misleading.  I just had a new photo shoot again Friday & will refresh my site again.

Met you in person at many TER M&G's and you're prettier in person than the pics!! ;)

As an amateur photographer I can definitely say that there are exceptions to the uncertainty that old photos would not match or resemble her current looks and shape.  I met a provider today in the Palm Springs area who mixed old and new photos and I honestly could not tell which photos were old or new because she looked just as hot in person.
