As a provider I look at womens webpages. I like to see who is posting, and the type of women they are. But something I find weird is pictures..

Does it bother gents when the only pictures they have is in a hotel room ??

I find it odd.

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.

First, it's not the 'setting' we're looking at first and foremost (non Manginas that is).

Second, I'm usually the one taking the pics...LOL.

Just sayin'

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.

You speak very intriguing and honest. I can appreciate that.

I guess I as a women find it weird that a women seems to only have pis in a hotel.. because maybe thats where she stays ? Just what i get of a vibe.

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).

Thank you dear. I know this is still rather new gig for you and if I have learned anything in life, go with your gut. Take the best of what you can glean from people, but in the final analysis, make your decisions based on what makes the most sense for you and how you want to operate.

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.

My point was the low budget pictures of women who take them with a camera phone, and or who travel allot and only stay .. live in hotels. thats weird to me

Some providers don't understand the value of their photographs...and some clients would prefer to see amateur snapshots for a variety of reasons (less likely to be photoshopped, accurate representation of the setting he'll meet her in and some have ideas about seeing "pro-ey pros" and just like seeing those type of pictures).

Don't really care where or who takes them. Pro or amatuer as long as they don't conceal things, I'm good to go

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...

Try reading through the thread..
Not talking about pics in hotels,,... Talking about cheap camera phone pics, by fly by night girls, whom seem like they live .. In HOTELS.

"Does it bother gents when the only pictures they have is in a hotel room ??"

I take that as a slam on exactly that photos in hotel rooms, not that she lives there. And then, when we go look at your site we see the same thing, photos in what appears to be a hotel room.

As for the photos I would only want them to be accurate, current and not be pussy or spread eagle shots that totally turn me off.

I have no obligation to read through the thread. I responded to your original post with my thoughts on that post. If you were trying to make a point other than criticizing girls who take their website or ad pictures in hotel rooms then you should have made that point in the original post.

I agree, cheap camera phone pics and fly-by-night girls are a turn off but I don't read minds, only posts.

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