Overly touched up photos can back fire on you.But some guys don't seem to mind. Just turn the light down very dim, if you use shemee.

I have seen the ones in your ads, and I love your eyes. From that one, you seem to be quite photogenic. Put them in different folders on your site, so lookers will know which are propix and which are not.  Just don't 'fix' the pro shots, let them show the real you.  Just a thought.

Swim

and from what I saw on your site now you are a very attractive lady!! David..

Do you prefer to see professional photographs or real ones on web sites and ads? I just designed a web site, but I still have photos I took from home on a non-professional camera. I am considering professional photos because it would look better on my site but do not want those photos to make me unrealistic. I am told by most people, I am even sexier in person because I am just not very photogenic. I am not quite sure why. When the professionals take them for me they look great. Do you tend to avoid women that have pro photos?

I think I am probably swayed by the pro shots.  Part of it is a pro will give you lots of images to choose from, but will also thing about lighting, cropping, etc.  I think of it like a portrait or a wedding picture...a pro will use better equipment, think more about composition, etc.

To me there is a difference between a photo that presents the subject at it's best, versus a ton of retouching or Photoshop that starts to distort reality.  You weren't suggesting that, I know.  But some of the glam shots are clearly over the top.

If you have a fancy new site, while not some nice to images to go with it?

Maybe you could ask a couple of your regular clients to help pick out photos of you that they like, and also feel are accurate?

Just my thoughts...

Ditto on Swim,s comment. I have a friend who wet totally pro as the pics were great. Not really touched just great makeup etc. Clients did not find that lady at the door.  She put back some of the other pics, It was all good. Labeled folders  Great Idea!

not glamour type shots.  The shots on your site are pretty good but pros will make it better. Pro shots do not worry me but glamour type shots make me think twice, because I can not believe a women will go to that much trouble for each meeting.

Pro pics are great but some candids are always nice. Shows us what you are really like without all the touch ups.

I thought about that too. Thanks.

Thanks.

Thanks.

I like seeing both and appreciate the difference.  Obviously professional photos look better. However, I think the self photos are always more realistic and gives you more flexibility to add theme or spur of the moment photos.

the potential client a true glimpse of what you are like?  Photos depicting head shots, with eyes blurred or covered by hair is acceptable to me.  If you want more discretion, break up the face pics like Elyse Taylor does by showing lips, eyes, etc. as separate photos.  

Photos that are from the waist up might tend to "hide" the fact that a particular provider is heavy around the middle or rear.  If a provider has long sexy legs, she should be sure to show those too.  

....For me , its ......do they portray the lady accurately ?

...When you see the lady , do you at some point say to yourself ,.....yes , the pics were accurate !!

I agree with Swim

Thanks, I take pride in eating well and working out.

That was what I was thinking men would feel, but the pro ones they always try to alter. I told him all he could do was effects of the photos, like lighting and background. He told me that he gets people that want him to make them lose weight. That is just plain wrong. I am happy with my body, im not perfect but Im real and sexy as hell!

Great suggestions.

Honestly I prefer if your photos look like you. In other words it's great to see professional photos if that's how you appear when we meet. Some of us are quite visual as I am sure you know. Best wishes
