hi Bailly

would you be interested in hearing from the women here also  on this topic? IT  will be interesting to hear back from the group.... It is a great question BTW

I like photographs that give me a sense of who the woman is - as an example - my ATF picture is one of Mikki Moss where she was wearing men's tighty whities with a sock stuffed inside and a pair of nerd glasses - nothing else.  The minute I came across that picture I knew I had to see her.  Of course, I don't see it on her website anymore . . . hmmmm.

Definitely showcase your personality... I'm not a fan of "glamour" photos.  Too much professional makeup, hair and airbrushing generally sends me elsewhere. A good mix of posed professional or semi professional with some nice candid shots is good. Work harder on emphasizing your assets rather than hiding your weaknesses.

For my money, avoid explicit sex shots, and tittilize my imagination.

I recently did a photo shoot for a provider.. Two days of both indoor lingerie, bubble bath, little black dress and outdoor shoots that included men's white dress shirts with thigh high stockings, wine glasses... More thanks to her talent as a model than my talent as a photographer, we came away with some great shots that portrayed the image she is trying to project to her client base...

For you Baily, I'd recommend some gym workout shots that highlight that toned athletic body mixed in with some dressed to the nines, ready for a romantic dinner at an upscale restaurant, and then some bedroom shots in your favorite seduction wear...

Oh.... Please no cell phone in the mirror shots

I think women are sexy in lots of different shots, and I agree with the other comments that suggest expressing your personality/style.  The "right photo" is different for each provider.

That being said, I don't really like photo sets where the model-provider looks serious or pouty in every shot.  I instantly am attracted to the smiles first, and the smiling shots are typically my favorites.  

EXACTLY LIKE THIS...

In fact... This EXACT picture is what I recommend every provider use.

I like glam shots.  Real sexy lingerie and some skin.  Not so much the edgy, or 'wild'.  A pic, in nice street clothes is also very good.
The main thing, about pics, they Must be current(6mos.) and accurate.  You can tell, even in the glam pics, what a lady really looks like.

Ladies your thoughts on the photos as well

A bit of MBA-type advice to the providers:

I think a hobbyist looks at photos as a preview of what your experience will be like.  The "right customer" will instantly be attracted to your brand if the pics demonstrate the offering.  It's about marketing what kind of experience you offer.  And you will get the kind of customers you really want and avoid the ones you don't.

I'll suggest there are 5 marketing strategies for providers to demonstrate in their photos:

1. If you are really into "GFE intimacy" as part of your experience, then I think the photos should have close-ups of your smile and other pictures that show you in relaxed positions.  Emphasize the girlfriend in the GFE.  Maybe show a pic of you sympathetically listening and smiling to someone else (a friend or other provider maybe).  Victoria does this very well, as an example, by all the cute photos with her dog.

2. Alternatively, if your experience is more about wild abilities and "wow" skills, then do more shots of you in kneeling, all-fours, and other positions that show your flexibility.  Stick out your tongue in one shot.  If that's what you do best but all the pictures are of you standing and smiling, no one will connect you with those skills.  Edgy is better than romantic for this group.  I think pics of tattoos help here.  The pics must match your brand.

3. A third choice might be the "sophisticated" or "unattainable" or "elite courtesan" marketing angle.  You might be the tall gorgeous or Kardashian-style choice that the average guy has no chance to ever date.  So, take pics in front of a cool car or with Prada bags (faux) or whatever indicates you are only available to an elite few.  If you want an example, go look at the kay escorts site in germany.  Many of the models are photographed in expensive clothes shopping for shoes on an expensive street.  It sends a message.

4. A fourth choice is the "impressive assets" approach.  If you're known for great breasts, great butt, great legs, great whatever, then show it.  Show full breast shots.

5. A fifth and final category is the sweet, girl-next-door style.  Dress simple, no nudity, smile a lot, look happy.

Pick one or two styles, don't try to be all things to all people.

I'm sure there are others but that's my thoughts as a business consultant.  Hope it helps others!

PS I'm attracted most to #1 and #5.

The ladies on the Las Vegas board frequently use nudity very effectively and tastefully. Full breast shots, butt shots in a thong and frontal shots with legs in a more demure rather than open leg position. Mixed with partially covered teaser shots, these can draw a man's attention effectively. There are many women on the Phoenix board that regularly use nudity very nicely. Krista, Danielle, Brooklyn, Trinity, Raven, Tina, Reagan, etc are ones that immediately come my mind. I know there are others but all the blood has suddenly left my brain and I can't think any more.....

Great question and a great thread with some thoughtful, inteligent answers - especially halfhour and cruiserx.
I think you want to decide what you want to message about yourself and then take your photos accordingly. I am one of those finds photos that show elegance and charm, friendliness and warmth to be the most attractive and enticing. I enjoy seeing  a womans figure without necessarily seeing full breasts revealed - a great set of photos that convey your personality and smile  will make me want me to see more BCD  -and that is what you ultimatley want in your marketing.  
Good luck

I think photos that accentuate the possitive areas of the body. If you have a great ass then emphasize it in the pics. If you have great looking T's then emphasize them in the pics. If ya got a pretty pink pussy. Well, Emphasize it in the pics. beautiful smile? You got it emphasize. Now if you have all these great assets then just do Nudes. If you have none of these assets?? Pics aren't gonna do you much good.
