I am an armchair connoisseur when it comes to photography so it irks me when I see a photo of a sexy girl that isn't right. The lighting, the angle, the body position it all needs to be just right. I don't understand how a photographer can't see it while taking the photo or the people who place the photos up onto websites. ::)

/rant

Should I tell the girl it is not a very flattering photo of her? Would she be offended? What is the best way of telling her if at all?

I wholeheartedly agree that a lot of "pro" photographers aren't up to scratch. I would have thought that someone paying a photographer would demand their money back if they didn't get good photos.

But there are just so many variables! A post that makes one girl look great could make another girl look overweight (or underweight). A girl may look great in one photoshoot but not so good at the next one just because of different make-up.

I'm not too sure how to actually approach the subject if you wanted to tell a girl her photos were a dis-service to her.

Maybe we can get some feedback from others on the forum who've received unflattering photos?
 
Easiest way to tell a girl her pix are unflattering is to say, Wow your pix do not do your natural beauty any justice!

The problem is that these days anyone with a dslr, a flash and some aftermarket lenses calls themselves a pro photographer and the public fall for the prices these blokes are charging. I mean how many "Joe smith photography" websites do you see? I have 2 mates in this situation. We all have similar experience and gear (cannon ftw) but both have websites and ones going into weddings lol
 
Maybe that photographer of hers is not a pro. These days there are lots of people who owns SLR and calls themselves pro because they've got a professional camera. But they didn't know that it takes a whole lot of talent and training to get into photography. You have to be honest to that lady about her photo. Tell her that the photo is great but then I think it would be much better if you have it taken from someone good in taking photos...something like that...lol!I'm definitely not good at it!hahahh

I honestly think most of us know when we have had an unflattering photo taken. Any constructive criticism should always be taken as just that. Considering the photographs are used as a marketing tool and you are the audience. Surely she would want to know. But agreed with Peter. It is all in the delivery. Perhaps mention her latest photos really don't capture her true beauty.

Completely agree. You would be in hysterics to know how many "photographers" contact me wanting to trade services.
There really is an art to capturing the body in it's best angles, with the best light.

Alexandra, I can be your photographer, not sure that the photos would be that good but we would have lots of fun doing it.:laughing4
 
....oh well, looks like the old "Box Brownie" goes back in the cupboard....bugger..

Actually, I'd bet dollars to doughnuts that if you have been using the brownie for several years, you'll be able to get some better photos than some of the ones I've seen.

I agree with the comments about any joe blow with a camera posing as a pro... :(
 
If i may, it's usually me who that takes care of the final step of putting up the photos for profiles. Now admittedly some of my decisions are hardly award winners but with something as in depth and complex as photography theres just a lot of room for error along the way.
Firstly a lot of the time these photos will be taken in lots of 3 or 4 girls, at night, over a few hours so everyones generally pretty tired to start with, or in the case of the W/L's some are just getting up for night shifts or whatever.
1st place for error: the girl isn't particularly enthused. Generally not an issue but it is sometimes.
Now whilst the photographer is important, sometimes the girls just dont have confidence in front of the camera or are a bit shy generally. It can get in the way.

Next the photographer himself, most of the guys we get have a lot of swish equipment but they can be tired and just trying to get it done (especially if theres a lack of co operation)
Lighting and stuff they usually get right. Can just be tricky.
Then based on their decisions is the photos we get.

Here's where i come in, theres more than a couple of guidelines we have to follow. For example you could have Marylyn Monroe over the steam vent, but if she has her face and tattoos showing, its useless to us.
So thats where some real great photos can be scrapped as they're difficult to crop into something that works and whilst removing tattoos is easy enough, every now and then you get an angle that just doesn't work. So another place where quality photos can get scrapped.
The next one is wether they're portrait or landscape. On our site we have slots for 3 portrait and 1 landscape. So normally when we get the photos back we'll have a gajillion landscape, of which we only need 1, and then like 2 portraits to choose from which then have to be turned into 3. This is where even more get scrapped!

So what eventually goes up on the site is what has survived all of those factors.
Usually the girls will know better than anyone when they've got a sub par photo, but too often there is not a lot to be done.

I hope this answers any questions and is just generally informative :)

Also I do like the feedback from punters, after all we do all of this for you guys so let me know if you see anything that you think could be better.
 
I agree SexNut...lighting is everything, as is being able to get that position which accentuates the womens body perfectly.. I think a big mirror so you can see the poses yourself, and I think you can adjust yourself accordingly I know you shouldnot need this iwth a great photographer but yet to find one)

I have been taking shots for years...I have neer done a proper shoot though..if someone wants to be my guinea pig..would love to give it a go???

Saige, I do the same, but I put them in my "Hide From The Wife" folder. Also sad, but true. Sad, mainly because I don't have a wife!!
 
Wow!! Saige's collection is positively mouth-watering.

Just shows that it isn't what you have but what you do with it that matters.

Seriously, photographing ladies for soft porn (Playboy style) or escort services must be about the hardest assignment around which is why there are so few photographers in that field. Any hack can pose a girl on ger back with her ankles behind her ears and both hands hauling her pussy open to show her ovaries but only a handful can bring out her beauty and personality in a tasteful manner.

Sadly, i'm almost certain at least 1 of those blokes is a mate if past history is anything to go by :p

Local car photography can be a bit the same. Some guys will "do a shoot" with your car (at all the usual, overdone locations) but will expect to drive the thing.

Some mates can be an embarrassment.

Hopefully, we are not an embarrassment to them; but probably are, or have been, at times.

Lmfao :D mmmm brownies, tempting :p
Edited to add: ooooh you mean the 'click' 'click' kind of brownie, not the 'nom' 'nom' kind - oops :)
When it comes to constructive criticism, I agree with what
other's have said - its how you say it, equally - I think, it depends,
how well you know her, feedback is often best received from someone
you know (clients too). Also if she started a thread saying 'here's
My latest pics, what do you think ?' She opened the door for opinions
(Delivery would still matter).
If she hasn't asked for an opinion, then
tread carefully :)

A close friend of mine recently had a set of pics taken (she paid an arm
and a leg for them). She sent them to me and a friend and asked our
opinion as she wasn't happy with them. And she was right, they were awful,
right down to her attire, not straightened, and she has gorgeous long legs
and the photographer, did not highlight them well at all.
She got her money back and went to her previous photographer as they were professionals in escort piccies.

There is a skill in escort photography, taking pics of the human form is not the same as other subjects and not all photographer's realise, you can't jump between subject matters. Certainly the technical elements are similiar but you do have to shift your focus to suit the subject matter.

The photographer I think is the best escort photographer is in Queensland - one day I hope to make a trip over there for a photo shoot.
Good ones are hard to come by :p

I have a client who is a professional photographer, he mostly does weddings and he was saying how hard it is to compete with cheaper manufactured production line photographer's. They take short cuts and charge a lot less.

His passion for his work is strong enough, he hasn't compromised, yet the pressure is high.
