Sometimes a gal wants to market herself as quirky or defiant, so a more outré type look is called for.

Most of the time, a smile works wonders.

I've had a few clients lately comment that if I hadn't been thorough in describing myself and my (very sweet) personality,  they wouldn't have seen me based on the "feel" of my pictures. They've said I look upset, sad, perhaps somber? But not happy, playful or fun. I really try to look sultry and my face is partially blurred, so perhaps a sultry look only works if you can also see the come hither eyes that accompany it lol. I've decided to take a few smiling photos, I'm curious to see the effect.  It seems to me that most provider photos aren't particulary happy looking.

It seems more ladies hide their faces than the ones that show them but for the ones that show them I prefer a seductive look on a seductive pose, a serious look on a serious pose (such as in a tight skirt and blouse), and a smile when having a fun pose.

I know you asked guys, but wanted to put in .02...

smile for those who would like to meet. If it's not conveyed in the photos, (which I don't believe my smile is either), then I would hope it's only an added bonus to what they are already expecting to meet when they do pull that trigger and schedule a date. I think that may lead to more excitement (and jitters) too when you don't exactly know what someone looks like. And a smile can mean everything. I know it does for me on the flipside. As a gentlemen, you've read the reviews, seen the scores enough to want to book, but to put the pieces of the puzzle together when you lock eyes with a smile that partners it that hasn't been captured in a photo, is a moment that can't be duplicated. That's half the excitement for me, and hopefully for him too lol.  

But much of my processing is visual.  Heck, that's what is the impetus for looking at someones reviews.
 

Just show me enough of your face so I can have a vague idea of your looks, but the body is more important. That and whatever you choose to reveal about your personality.  Reviews or Back-Channel references fill in the rest

My point of view is... Always smile... people will wonder what you're up to.

If you have several images where your face isn't blurred, blocked or out of sight, I'd like to see a smile. I'm interested in a fun-loving meeting.

...Blurred photos do hinder the good that a smile can do but there are many ladies whose photos only need a smile to add the final necessary touch.

You have to doing this, sexy stuff is funny, especially with strangers! It's like opening a new gift every time, "for me?" All shapes and sizes. Like a box of chocolates you really never know what you're gonna get, but you know the outcome is going to be roughly the same.

We aleady come into this knowing GFE is make believe, that ladies are doing this for money.
If a lady isn't smiling in ANY of her photos, it kind of reinforces this.
If I'm looking for a good time with a fun-loving lady, NOTHING closes the deal (assuming other criteria met and good reviews) better than a great smile.  Even the photos where most of the face is blurred or obscured, seeing part of a smile works.

But then I only saw hockey rinks.

cleavage, and most importantly, a varied selection of posses and attire.  You don't need to show all the goods; it is nice to unwrap the present.

If you've got good teeth smiling is the way to go. Sultry looks showing a hint of teeth is good as well.  I'm far more likely to see someone that doesn't have a blurred face even if she might not be a 10 if she has a great smile. Then again I'm a bit fixated on pearly white teeth. Oh mama..

I think smiles are contagious, and put people at ease and a smile makes people look approachable.  Take for example, the runway models on the Victoria Secret Runway Show, I think they all try to look sultry but sometimes, in my opinion they look snooty, constipated, drama queen, not inter-acting with the crowd, almost arrogant. But,  I am sure that is not always the case.  They can be nervous, after all, they are only human right?  Or, since most woman/men do not smile in certain high fashion magazines, maybe the others just follow in tote.  People notice.  If I'm having a bad day, I've had people come up to me and say "is life really that bad?!"  Yes, it was rude of him, but people do notice.  Even babies at the grocery store, if you smile at them, they smile back.  I think every beautiful person should have a few smiling photos to let their true personality shine through. That's only in my opinion.

All her previous pictures were the fashion type wherein the face just seemed devoid of life.  Great figure is only part of the equation.
Yet she posted just one photo with a smile, and with that her entire perception seemed to change - and that's the smile I had to see.

I happen to hate the sultry look that so many women try to show in their photos.  I agree that a blurred face that shows a sultry frown is not nearly as nice as a nice smile with other features blurred out.  When I see an unhappy mouth I presume that the blurred lady behind it is also not happy... and I take a pass.  Frankly, I also think that a woman exuding happiness will likely attract happier clients, too.  The result might be better reviews and more $ for you.
