Nope. I prefer the amateur pics taken within the setting in which I will be enjoying her.

The more amateur, the better IMHO.

In fact, I prefer shots that are as candid, and natural looking as possible. Pictures that make the lady look like she's made of plastic are a real turn off for me.

Unfortunately, it doesn't take much to do this job. That means that most anything will do. I give providers points when they have a nice, clear, and easy to navigate web site. Pictures are pictures if they are current and true. It's a nice touch when they are done well and tastefully projected. I for example, don't necessarily treasure shots of provider on a hotel bed face down, ass up. I am not sure about others, but I think it cheapens a provider plays to the stereotypes. Being a provider is more about attitude that anything you can capture in pictures. Show me your skills at the moment of truth. When we meet and if you are not the same person in the picture, I am likely to leave. Be 50 pounds over how you are depicted, I am outta there. Despite the baseness that get played out on these pages, most of us want you to look like someone we'd be seen with, but we care more about is that you have some energy, imagination, and make us feel like we're all that for the hour or so.  Make your pictures match your personality. If you are somewhat reserved, don't think you have to bare all to make us come over. I love breasts, but I don't have to see them uncovered to get a feel for what you have. Finally, your aptitude will bring us back because you pay attention to things and that starts with you.

The tiny ones, the blurry ones, the overly photoshopped ones, and the ones strategically positioned to hide blatant flaws.

I want to see who I'm gonna be fucking, not someone she wishes she could be.  I really don't care where the picture is taken.

Not aimed at anyone in particular.

- What is the point of a picture that is about 2 inches big and can't be sized larger?

- What is the point of a blurry picture? Not just the face, but the whole picture. Some pictures look like they were taken with a cheap cell phone camera. A 10 megapixel camera can be bought for less than a 1/2 hour session. Invest in yourself.

- The higher up the scale you want to aim for clientele, the more you should try for at least some pictures well composed. Take some ideas from even tame sites like Victoria's Secret.

- Please ladies, have a guy you trust, that can be totally honest with you, and ask his opinion of the picture. I've has seen too many pictures that are just flat-out unflattering in pose. Shots that look like the camera was down at knee level are not going to attract guys. It gives an out-of-proportion view.

- Location doesn't matter. Aim for good lighting and good pose.

- Guys like candid shots, but they have to be good candid shots.

I glanced at your website and all of your pictures appear to be taken in a bedroom or hotel room?

I like to have a variety of pictures but have found recently that candids have brought me more business than professional shots (or at least clients are commenting on self-taken shots more than professional images and are indicating that its what brought them to my door).

I don't care where the picture is taken as long at it is accurate, up to date and does not try to hide something. Just be who you are, we like ladies of all ages, colors, shapes and sizes but there is nothing worse that false advertising. If you think you are going to spend time with a tall red head and you end up meeting a short blonde it ruins the whole date for me. Not just for the obvious reasons but then I start to wonder what else is she trying to hide from me, all trust is lost at that point.

trying to save on the photog.

I have done so on a few occasions myself, and I was kind of happy with how my handiwork turned out too.

I still say hiring a good photographer is worth the money invested.  Photos are your first impression and you only get one shot at a first impression.

...I've taken a lot of pictures, been in a few and shopped a few ladies based on their picures as well, so I guess I'm qualified to comment.

For me it has to do with the venue...ie, if you're looking at BP or (godforbid!) CL a 'too-good' picture is an agency, LE or stolen. If you're looking at TER posts, EROS, CV, a HDH website or established provider's site, too crappy of pix mean (sloppy is as sloppy does) either lazy or doesn't care. Consider the source, do some research, make a few calls...the pics are only part of the story! Photoshop is for fixing problems, makeup is for enhancing beauty!  
(just IMHO...)

In defense of the good ladies who may have crappy pics I can only say, that's not their thing, if they're good at what they do and sweet about it, you can keep the pics!

Pictures that enlarges from stamp size to stamp size annoys the hell out of me. No one with stamp to stamp enlargement not getting call from me. I won't even look at the site after 80 seconds.

I like the pictures with her family photos on the piano right next to her and maybe the kids' drawings on the refrigerator door in the candid kitchen shots. And the laundry room pics with the local high school sweatshirt clearly lying on the dryer.

On a slightly more serious note, many of girls at the NYC AMPs use professional studio photographers and some of them insist on having glamorous pictures that they can proud of. Some have the pro photog take the pics on-site or in the hallway or on the stairs. Having made a few comparisons, I can attest that the photos might be slightly idealized depictions of reality (stretching, tilting, breath-holding) but always accurate enough to make a positive ID.

...That you are even bringing it up. Clearly, all of the pictures of you on your site were taken inside a hotel room...

The hotel room pics are amateur enough to know it isn't LE and not touched up.
