It seems more ladies hide their faces than the ones that show them but for the ones that show them I prefer a seductive look on a seductive pose, a serious look on a serious pose (such as in a tight skirt and blouse), and a smile when having a fun pose.

I know you asked guys, but wanted to put in .02...

When I first started advertising I heard many of the same comments - that my photos looked serious, that they did not convey my personality, etc.  

For all the complaints about Aldo, I shoot with him mostly because I am NOT a natural model in front of a camera.  He tells me which direction to look, reminds me to stand up straight, tells me where to put my arms... and most importantly - he can make me *laugh* and smile during a photo shoot.  Even with a blurred face, partial face shot, or cropped - I've found that a good smile makes all the difference in a shot that is cold, or one that is attractive.

smile for those who would like to meet. If it's not conveyed in the photos, (which I don't believe my smile is either), then I would hope it's only an added bonus to what they are already expecting to meet when they do pull that trigger and schedule a date. I think that may lead to more excitement (and jitters) too when you don't exactly know what someone looks like. And a smile can mean everything. I know it does for me on the flipside. As a gentlemen, you've read the reviews, seen the scores enough to want to book, but to put the pieces of the puzzle together when you lock eyes with a smile that partners it that hasn't been captured in a photo, is a moment that can't be duplicated. That's half the excitement for me, and hopefully for him too lol.

Sometimes a gal wants to market herself as quirky or defiant, so a more outré type look is called for.

Most of the time, a smile works wonders.

...Blurred photos do hinder the good that a smile can do but there are many ladies whose photos only need a smile to add the final necessary touch.

I smile, I smirk, and I giggle!

You have to doing this, sexy stuff is funny, especially with strangers! It's like opening a new gift every time, "for me?" All shapes and sizes. Like a box of chocolates you really never know what you're gonna get, but you know the outcome is going to be roughly the same.

We aleady come into this knowing GFE is make believe, that ladies are doing this for money.
If a lady isn't smiling in ANY of her photos, it kind of reinforces this.
If I'm looking for a good time with a fun-loving lady, NOTHING closes the deal (assuming other criteria met and good reviews) better than a great smile.  Even the photos where most of the face is blurred or obscured, seeing part of a smile works.

cleavage, and most importantly, a varied selection of posses and attire.  You don't need to show all the goods; it is nice to unwrap the present.

If you've got good teeth smiling is the way to go. Sultry looks showing a hint of teeth is good as well.  I'm far more likely to see someone that doesn't have a blurred face even if she might not be a 10 if she has a great smile. Then again I'm a bit fixated on pearly white teeth. Oh mama..

I think Smiling is like a Domino Affect...

I think smiles are contagious, and put people at ease and a smile makes people look approachable.  Take for example, the runway models on the Victoria Secret Runway Show, I think they all try to look sultry but sometimes, in my opinion they look snooty, constipated, drama queen, not inter-acting with the crowd, almost arrogant. But,  I am sure that is not always the case.  They can be nervous, after all, they are only human right?  Or, since most woman/men do not smile in certain high fashion magazines, maybe the others just follow in tote.  People notice.  If I'm having a bad day, I've had people come up to me and say "is life really that bad?!"  Yes, it was rude of him, but people do notice.  Even babies at the grocery store, if you smile at them, they smile back.  I think every beautiful person should have a few smiling photos to let their true personality shine through. That's only in my opinion.

I happen to hate the sultry look that so many women try to show in their photos.  I agree that a blurred face that shows a sultry frown is not nearly as nice as a nice smile with other features blurred out.  When I see an unhappy mouth I presume that the blurred lady behind it is also not happy... and I take a pass.  Frankly, I also think that a woman exuding happiness will likely attract happier clients, too.  The result might be better reviews and more $ for you.
