I threw your name out there because it is my understanding that you have the most attractive girls in town and would therefore benefit the most from decent pics. Katrina, for example is very attractive, but I would never call based on her pics. Toronto agencies use quality pics without revealing the girls identity or having the broblrms you alluded to with honeybunnies.hammertm said:And the point of throwing our name in there? You mention all of K-W but only put our name out there, lol.
Does anyone not remember the HunniBunnie's fiasco and their "professional" photographer (who also happens to be a terb member) who posted all the unedited pics on his own website showing everything including their faces?
This would be the main reason why we dont have a professional come in and do them, none of the girls trust anyone to do them and i personally dont blame them.
P.S. I also think that Katrina and Breanna's pics are great along with a couple of Sadie's.

I didn't offer taking pics, just advice. HunniBunnies, should have contract with photographer about photos and use after photos were taken.hammertm said:And the point of throwing our name in there? You mention all of K-W but only put our name out there, lol.

The guy was obviously NOT a professional photographer. Under Canadian law, if you pay for your pix you own them and retain control over them unless there is a written agreement to the contrary.
I find that many ladies and do not like to spend a dime on photos. Some pick dubious shooters because they trade services. Others expect to look like a Playboy centrefold after a 15-minute shoot. (A Playboy cf takes a whole day to shoot with lighting technicans, make-up people, etc.)
Still others do get nice pix done but then fuzz their faces over with blobs or crop so tightly that you sometimes can't even tell what the photo shows.
My 2c for today.
I certainly don't want to offend any workers or agents, but it dismays me that anybody that views themselves as a professional - at any occupation - would settle for substandard quality promotion and marketing. Some of the images are lousy not simply because they are unflattering to the ladies, but they moreover make the occupancy (and by extension, the business) look dingy and squalid. I am certain that clientele has been lost due to cruddy images. I know of at least one indie SP familiar to many of you (since retired) here who could have easily attracted more business and asked for - and gotten - at least $50 an hour above her going rate if she had marketed herself with better images that accurately showed her true beauty.
I would rather be pleasantly surprised at the door after viewing average pics on the site over being pissed off to find out the SP's pictures have been "professionally" airbrushed and altered.
Exactly what I was trying to convey. I rather have a guy more pleased to think I was better looking in person than tell me my pics were better.calloway said:

One, who's talking about airbrushing and altering?
A professional photograph needn't require either.
And two, a business has to attract a customer before they can even be in the position of pissing-off that customer.
If an SP has an attractive photograph, then she will presumably attract more customers.
If the photograph is honest and the service is good, then a customer may very well become a repeat customer and possibly a regular client, and will share positive reviews about the service & experience to friends and at places like terb. This is surely a huge benefit to the SP, who will likely attract more customers and may even be in the enviable position to raise rates.
OTOH, if a SP markets herself with dishonest airbrushed glamour photos and/or provides lousy service, they will be quickly exposed. The client will say, never again, and might even post negative cautionary reviews at terb with a heads-up calling bullshit on the flim-flammery and bamboozlement.
That's a win-win for the SP and the client.
Whereas, unattractive photos don't do anything for either party. If a professional SP or agency markets themselves poorly, then customers won't request their services. It's very simple: Bad advertising is generally bad for business in all professional endeavours.
This is a good conversation... don't get all pissy while I crouch in the defensive fetal position.palimpest said:
Are you telling me that these new pics of Hammertm's recent find Trisha are not sufficent quality for your standards?

Hammertm doesn't charge TO prices and I think Trista's pics are pretty decent.
