its just you.  For me, if I want selfies, I'll go find a civvie girl at the gym.  If I want P4P, I want to see a professional photo presentation to fuel my fantasies.  I'm not looking for the girl next door.  I want a classy DDG companion.

All my pics are selfies :)

All my pics are non-professional selfies. I don't have anyone to take photos of me. However, I do have a high quality webcam. I've never had a complaint about my pics not being professional. For me personally, money is better spent on things other than spending hundreds of dollars getting professional photos taken (absolutely not knocking those who do get professional pics-they usually look very nice!). I'm in this business to make money, not spend it! I tour a lot and already spend a lot of money on hotels, flights, Ubers, etc. Plus I've read a lot of reviews on various women where guys said their professional photos looked so good, but they were disappointed when they saw them in person because they didn't look as good in person as they did in the pics. With selfies, you can be more assured that the pics were not altered to make the girl look slimmer, boobs bigger, remove scars or blemishes, and so on and so on.  

Some professional photos are absolutely beautiful, but I too prefer the candid selfies.

Both are best IME

I ask my professional photographers to airbrush me quite minimally... obviously if I have a bug bite on my ass the day of the shoot, that's going to get removed, but otherwise I try to keep my pro shoots as natural as possible so that they are highly representative of what I actually look like IRL.  The advantages of pro shoots to me are mostly crisper quality shots, enhanced posing options, and professional lighting adjustments.

I don't like to clutter my website with too many selfies because I personally prefer to keep it looking professional, but I do have a Twitter where I post both my pro pics and many of my favorite day-to-day selfies.

I think Twitter is a great place for guys who crave selfies to get into finding providers.  

For me, I think there's a lot to be said about taking the time, and spending the money, on professional photographs.  I find them to present a much better "picture" of the lady, I find that they also create a much better looking website.  Regardless of what profession you're in, there's a lot to be said for the "first impression" and, here, the photos are a lot of that first impression.  One caveat, I do agree with some of the other posts that I don't want a lot of photoshop work, too much make up or some other such thing that basically creates a picture of a different person!

Best of Both Worlds

sure glamour shots sell short term, but truer representations of body type means fewer disappointed looks at the door, better encounters, and therefore repeat business.

It's All Relative

This is something that depends on the person's perspective; it's truly relative. Most of my clients have  found me through good old fashioned research or Eros and then went to my twitter to see my day to day (I had to convince them to jump on here). They like the candid photos. Then there are some that like the glamour goddess and some of my pro shoots are that way. Either way, I think it's good to have a variety.

However, I do like the idea of other social media venues or forums for selfies and non-professional photos. This would make much more sense, IMHO.

To add, someone did mention video - that's a great idea

while I reserve my website for my professional pictures. Much of what has been said about the importance of having a balance between more glamorous and edited photos versus as-is selfies resonates with me. As for videos, I'm just obsessed with making thematic mini videos. In fact, I'm just about to upload one now for any of you kinky breast and nipple play aficionados.

professional  pictures don't Imply airbrushing. Of course its possible. but even selfies can airbrushed. its important to understand that professional pics just implies makeup and preparation such as choosing a theme and a specific outfit, even specific makeup.  

Selfies are just a little too casual for me. I like something a little more elaborate. that's just me tho. I have to admit I like selfies too. but I want my website to look a certain way and I think it makes my marketing and outlook better. again... selfies are just too casual.

I don't have a twitter or social media.So for me I added a gallery on my website of nothing but selfies and candids photos.
The rest of the galleries are my professional photos.When I post my TER ad majority of the time for the last couple of months I post a professional picture but will respond to it with a selfie photo.
I also have a video on my website as well.I find with having all of those three things included on my website.
I appeal to the guys who like to see videos but also the ones like you who appreciate selfies.As well as the guys who like the professional photos as well.

selfies but no more than 10% of your total photos.

Please keep them somewhat current.  It doesn't matter which they are if they aren't updated.

I like it when providers update their photos on TER on a regular basis and if they are selfies that is fine with me.  Of course, professional photos are nice.  But I would rather see the providers I'm interested in seeing have current photos and if they are selfies that works for me just fine.  I love the regional ad boards and the photo only board and recently I've kind of gravitated towards the providers that frequently post pics.  Just one guys opinion.......

I have always always preferred natural non pro shots. Way more chance the lady will look like her photos.

I enjoy a mixture of both pro and natural, for the reason stated- you get to see the non-airbrushed woman, and maybe make-up free or toned down make-up as well. Natural and perfectly imperfect can work wonders and put my own inhibitions at ease sometimes.

Just as important, though, are current pics. When I see a provider with only the same pics on their site as they had 10 years ago, it raises a red flag.  

I like my professional pictures better because they look more put together but I do have selfies on my website as well as twitter. I just don't like to show face pictures for discretion reasons.
