I prefer a light pixilation also. I always know a Bodyoasis girl is a beauty anyway. You always have the best looking ladies!

 Blurred face.

Re:Question for you gentleman ...

A 'masked' photo... a box or panel covering enough to identify without removing the facial 'shape' and a hint of a smile preferred...

Hi Amber,

I prefer a slight blur over the pixilation.  No offense but my personal opinion is that the pixilation looks amateurish.  Take care.

SK

for the love of god, no pixelation !

it's visually jarring and it doesn't leave a flattering impression of the girl (needless to say, pasting a smiley face cartoon on there is also a major deterrant! LOL)

as others have rightly pointed out, an aesthetically blurred face is best. IMHO it should be blurred only just enough to protect identity while still giving enough information about the bone-structure (long/short nose, wide/thin face, etc) that lets a guy determine if she matches his tastes (not to mention a visible warm smile underneath the blur certainly helps make a positive impression -- there's a fair bit of the psychology of perception involved here, trust me. the guys know what i'm talking about!

when they're blurred too much, that's when it raises a flag in my mind ... cuz it's not really necessary for anonymity and if not so then it can only be for "protecting" something else  

hope this helps

I prefer slightly blurred, although in my opinion the black bar across the eyes is best, when seeking to withhold the full identity.  Granted, that still exposes the mouth and nose, which may not be adequately anonymous, but I think it gives enough of a hint as to the provider's general image, while masking the identity.  Just my two cents.

Sunglasses.  I dont like the blurred face because you can't see the mouth.

does this mean we might see a picture of Bella.  I have always seen rave reviews about her but am hesitant (cause I've been disappointed by rave reviews before - YMMV).  In general, without seeing what her body looks like (I don't mind not seeing the face) I would not take the chance.

Thanks (especially for Tiah)

I'm with those who prefer the black bar. At least you can see something. The turned head can sometimes be just as effective.

And I always assume it's for privacy, which is more than understandable.

Also if I may, I feel the photo's should be revealing. We are window shopping here.  

We want all we can get. We want to see hair, lips, eyes, etc.
But some of us also want our own privacy, so we have to respect the ladies desires.
Let her have a choice of what she feels is most attractive. That way the photos are a more accurate representation of the model's personality.
The worst impact might be client draw, but you have an excellent reputation for attractive models and honesty, so that should counteract any negative effect.
Which reminds me that I need to schedule another appointment.

Enjoy.

Blurring and pixelation are useless to the hobbyist.  I would rather see a pic with the lady's head turned (mostly or completely) or with sunglasses, etc.  The face pic should give us an idea of what the face looks like -- pixelation and blurring do not accomplish this, and just make the picture look unappealing IMHO.  Even a full body shot cropped at the chin looks better to me.
