Although the public representation and exhibition of private experience as exposed in the self presented sexual objectification of a provider in a photographic portfolio can never be totally revealed if the provider does not continually update this visual communication the hobbyist might become bored with a photographic catalog of a provider if not updated and revamped regularly . The hobbyist may decide to "upgrade" or "prune" his selection of providers , taking advantage of an opportunity to see others based on pictures or even new pictures presented due to the visual nature of men as a whole.

I, for one, tend to have my interest piqued by provocative or well written board posts or blogs.  A review establishes certain bona fides for a provider, just like a reference or white list provides for a hobbyist; you have some assurances that the person is not a flake or worse, and perhaps gain a sense of some basic points in common.  Photographs likewise provide some confirmation of physical type which, as we are all human, is an element to the process of attraction.  Board postings, blogs, and a well written web presence, however, are for me the basis of most of my decisions to contact a provider.  If I am going to spend several hours naked with a person, I would hope for both a modicum of physical and intellectual attraction, which will not be gleaned from either reviews or photographs.  I once booked a session based upon a footnote in the consideration page of a provider's website that offered several famous chefs free sessions; clearly a woman after my own heart, and we had a lovely time.  Many contacts arose for me after responses to board postings.  So postings such as yours certainly have great merit in making connections.  A really cute moniker probably makes a difference as well.

Choosing a provider for me is a couple easy steps:

In my case pics are exceptionally important. I particularly like sites that have a variety of photo's featuring various poses outfits.  
But I'm experienced enough to know pics don't tell the whole story.  
Of course , many ladies  ( or their photographer ) know how " sell it". But I've also come to learn some ladies simply tend to be more photogenic than others. For example I was a little slow to book with a lady that eventually became a fave because in spite of her stellar reviews I was never impressed with her pics. But I met her at a DC M&G and she completely blew me away.....lesson learned.
Bottom line , sure pics catch my attention ( yours certainly have ).
But I trust reliable reviewers more.  
So when a lady has great pics plus rave reviews ( again , like you) I'm in!!

Thank you gentlemen for your input . I appreciate your participation and opinions.  
 I have been considering getting professional pictures done myself as all of mine are from a hobby "friend" and not a professional photographer . I think he is pretty good though as a hobbyist goes.
 I have always felt that having pro photos ,although being really very beautiful , typically are not for me .
I have personally  Never wanted a career photo,  What is a "Career Photo" you may ask?  
It is a photo that is so good and so perfect , so touched up and photo shopped that I can never leave the house again . Meaning, I can never live up to the pictures.  
I have instead wanted photos that are not going to look better than I do and in fact I look better in person that I do in print.  
I do not see the point of having pics that I can not live up to.  I do see why some ladies may want them , they may feel the need to compete with the many other beautiful pictures other girls may be showing .  
For my purposes I tend to want to compete with myself for the most part even if that is a little snarky. I can really at the end of the day can only be  me, which I am quite comfortable with .  
I do not use photo shop to change my pics other than the lighting at times and to cover tattoos for privacy purposes.  
I am seriously considering breaking down and seeing what the result of a professional shoot may be even if just for fun .  
I am well aware that I am not a model by profession . The ladies that are models tend to be  
5ft 8 in-6 ft  with must less in terms of breasts .  
I am a mere 5ft 2 and fairly generously proportioned in the breast area. I am quite sure there is a reason the chose these beautiful amazons for print work as a rule .  
I hope I will be pleasantly surprised by the results of my pro photoshoot. If not I always have my friend who has taken all of my other phots. I am quite lucky to have him at my disposal .
 Thank you again for your thoughts and answers .  
                                                   All the best always , Pollie Amorous  

When I  first started, I followed conventional wisdom.  Now, I  usually won't even consider meeting unless we have met first at an m&g, or have communicated online so that I know that there is some chemistry between us.  Not that I need to tell you that...how long have we been friends?

I am very new to this for only two months and 4 experiences, and have had wildly variable results from stellar to okay, but all were very nice as people.  I first look at pictures, but only those with average rating of 8.0 or higher.  Everyone has a different "type" and even blurred pictures can convey body type, hair color, etc.  I don't like photo shopped pictures, they are quite obvious and you are right that no one has a perfect body and can even make the woman self conscious about the pictures vs. reality.  Real pictures convey more about the person, you just have to be careful to pick the best ones, as they could convey something negative or can distort body type as everyone photographs heavier no matter what.
