Providers who seek serious compensation should stop taking pictures with their cell phones and invest in professionalyl done photos.  

Cell phone pictures scream low rent.

Whoa there!  Many gentleman like and request the candid cell phone shots to make sure we really look like our professional photographs.  I use a mix of both professional and candid and it works very well.  

Serious overhead equals serious compensation to be profitable.  And we all know what happens to a biz when it is not profitable.......

So let's try a little flexibility and maybe ask why before we cry.  

My blog and my twitter contain candid photos.

I don't care what is used to take the shots...  there are lots of affordable devises these days.  Photos should be clear & with enough resolution to enlarge well.  Photos are cheap these days so use good shots please.  Enough variety that one can know what the gal looks like.

I like phone pictures.they are sexy

Ms Fallonkelly has a better idea.  Nice mix of both professional and candid.  Although no cell phone appears to be used

Yea I'm definitely with you on this one. Professional pictures show that clean, sharp focus,  and detailed look, but cell phone or other lesser quality pictures can show a candid side that is less rehearsed looking.

So for me, I like to see a mix of picture styles and quality. I'm going check out your pictures right now.

as long as they are clear. I like the lady I am seeing to look like her photos and that is a lot more likely with amateur pics than with professional pics, that are done with fancy lighting, fancy makeup, and photoshopped.

Pics to me should be representative of the provider.  If the cell phone pic does that better than a pro photo shoot, then that's the image I prefer.

but I don't think that using a professional photog means inaccurate either.

You can be inaccurate with a poor candid shot as well.

If it is a matter of erring on one side on the other, why not err on the side of looking great instead of lousy?

Like others have mentioned I like a mix of pictures,  as long as I get a good idea of what the provider looks like I could care less of who took them. Had you posted with your real "alias" and I could see the escorts you reviewed I wouldn't have asked what "serious comp" means.

My Samsung Note II take better pictures then my Nikon Coolpix

the glam shots. I disagree with you. I think it is good idea to have both available . I have had numerous gents request I also keep my cell shots as well and that they love them. When I did away with them once. I did hear about it. from some of my best clients. soooo. I have noticed alot women have both and its cool to see a glam shot as well as a realistic cell phone shot. Its also fun to for us if we have something new on, and we dpnt want to wait til we have 500 to pay for a shoot and get some shots in it. Usually as soon as I have new lingerair boots, heels, nails anything super sexy, my first thing I am off to do is snap a few pics and post to show the cool new digs off. For me its about loving fashion , hair , make up, I also look at all the other ladies ink, make up, clotehes, and for me its n0t about a hobbyist persepective 100 percent I am also doing it to enjoy art fashion photography and I looove seeing what every else is wearing and doing every season, Same way as i stay up to date with what they r wearing in hollywood and loooove buying those us magazines and watching e channel to stay in the loop. I am a cosmetology school grad though so staying up to date on hair n make up trends n trying new looks is just always been something i do. My faVE WHICH I HAVENT BEEN ABLE TO DO YET IS THAT ROCK A BILLY CHIC LOOK ALOT THE INKED UP GIRLS POSIN ON HOT RODS IN THE TATTOO MAGS HAVE WITH THE BARREL CURL ON THIER BANGS , N HANKERCHIEF, I BEEN WATCH  TUTORIALS ON U TUBE AND AM WORKIN ON MASTERIN THAT LOOK FOR A PHOTOSHOOT, a PHOTOGRAPHER FRIEND OF MINE HAD POINTED OUT ONE DETAIL IS THE HEELS WITH THE STRAP AROUND THE ANKLE, I BOUGHT PAIR THOSE, BUT NEED TO GET THE WHOLE LOOK DOWN STILL.  F OR THE WOMEN YOU KNWO IF WE JUST SPENT 700 BUX ON LINGERAIE LIKE I DID A MONTH AGO WHEN A REGULAR TOOK ME TO VICCYS ATER DINNER. i WAS SO PUMPED TO MODEL THE NEW ENSEMBLES DO A FEW TANS, AND TRY NEW POSES N GET SOME HOT PICS, ITS AN AWFUL LOT TO ASK US TO BE GETTING 500 DOLLAR SHOOTS AFTER EACH BOG SHOPPING SPREE, MY FAV NEW SET IS LIKE BLACK WITH GOLD METALLIC LACE OVER IT WHICH I HAD A SHOT OF ME WEARING ON MY WEB PAGE, THEN I HAD A NEW BRA N PANTY SET THAT WAS THIS PASTEL EASER VIBE PASTEL MINTY GREEN WITH BEIGE LACE OVER IT, FROM THE "SPRING INTO SPRING LINE THEY CAME OUT WITH FOR MONTHS NOW AT VICCYS. THE CELL PICS ALLOT U TO SEE WE LOOK THE SAME IN REAL LIFE SINCE THEY ARE NOT GLAM SHOTS N NPT DOCTORED UP. I WOULD THINK U LIKE TO SEE A FEW CELL PICS IN ADDITION TO AIR BRUSHED GLAM SHOTS, WHICH U ALL SAY CAN BE QUIOTE DECIEVING, FYI i BUMP INTO THE CAPS LOCK N SHIFT BUTTON N I AM SO NOT SITTIN HERE ANOTHER 15 MIN TO GO BACK N EDIT, SORRY !

BEFORE THEY REALIZED IT, THE OTHER A TABLE FELL ON IT WHEN I WAS 3 AND DEMOLISHED IT, SO I HAVE A GOOD EXCUSE WHY I HAVE THESE RETARDED PINKIES THAT HIT KEYS I DONT WANT, ...........XO LITTLE ANG-

You always say how important pro photos are, and I always say how important amateur photos are, and I know there are a lot of guys who agree with you, and a lot who agree with me, which is why for the ladies to appeal to the broadest audience, a mix is important.

Candids are not photoshopped and they show the girls exactly as they are. More often than not, the professional pics are either fakes or airbrushed heavier than a Playboy centerfold.

True, but Candid Pics and Cell shots are not one in the same. Candid simply connotes "not posed" but it does not suggest, real. You can use fake candid pics just as easily as professional ones lol. I think a mix of both candid and pro are essential, but I would never use cell phone shots on a professional website. I find the photo threads, blogs, Twitter, etc. are fine for cell shots, because all the provider is doing is showing how she looks on a given day, but that is not her primary advertising venue.

If one is going to spend money on a VIP ad or a pro website, cell shots are counter productive. You may as well just use Backapge...not that there is anything wrong with that, but you get the point. Your presentation needs to be consistent. Would you put a Toyota Hood Ornament on a Mercedes?
