    Default Pro vs. Amatuer Photos

    I have seen girls post pro photos and others post photos that look like they came from their cam or even camera phone. I am curious what ya'll think works better. I would think that if you posted pro photos, the guy might be let down by the quality he sees on your cam, but then again pro photos may attract more attention.

    Also, I would think if you wanted to work a more natural look, like ponytail, t-shirt and less makeup but posted super glamourous photos, wouldn't the client be expecting you to look all glam?

    LOL! I have thought about this too! As much as I'd like to get all glammed up for a pro photo shoot, my webcam clients like amateur content.

    I think Pro photos make them think that we are unattainable, whereas amateur photos from your own camera, webcam or phone will make u seem attainable. BUT who knows with these guys, they will make up their own fantasies in their heads about you and yoru attainibility wether you are a pro model or amateur model.

    I am starting a website with all of my amateur photos. Later on in the year I will take some pro photos and put them up as a suprise. I am sure guys would like to see me in the best quality photo possible, but as of right now I cannot release 100% pro content! It really isnt me to get all glammed up 24/7 either.

    Hmm well from MY experience, Pro pics bring in more $$$$$$. I've used amateur pics before and Of course my amateur pics are HOT but there's something about pro pics that guys like. If you read your webcams.com control panel they recommend you use pro pics. You also stand out when you use pro pics.. Just FYI.

    Btw I DO get glammed up before I get on cam.. ALWAYS. Men want what they can't get at home. A little effort pays off just my two cents.

    About having pro pics and disappointing guys with bad cam quality: what cam do you use? I use a logitech orbit now and it's pretty damn good. Logitech communicate stx is not so bad either.

    I agree with malaya too, to put a little bit of effort into getting ready. I dont wear tons of makeup or anything but just a little goes a long way. I am definately not what you would call a glamour girl, but you should work with your own style preferences. Guys will never be disappointed if you are always looking your best! I feel when I get too glammed up, it is just not me and that look never works out for me. You will learn how ur guys like to see you. For me I have noticed I can put on a sexy ass outfit dressed to the 10's with hair, makeup, and nails to match, but I wont do as well when I am wearing my fave bootyshorts, tank top and hair did all messy looking like the rocker girl next door! For some reason the bootyshorts/tank top works for me! HOWEVER I am a chameleon, If I get a show and a guy wants me all glammed up I will do it for them. If they want me looking like garbage fine. It is all about them and what they like.

    I've found that a lot of guys like amateur pictures in the webcam buisness so far. It gives them the feel that you were just in your room, horny, and had to show someone. I think that's where a lot of the appeal comes from with webcams. Why do guys pay much more than regular porn which is produced professionally, correct studio lighting, sound, girls airbrushed to perfection..etc.. which they can obtain for free, to play with us? we seem more real and attainable horny girls just playing around. But i'm sure having studio pictures helps also since you'll have more super hot pics that'll catch the guys eyes. both maybe? lol

    I too mostly always glam up. there are times when i don't wear make up, or even my nerdy glasses. always surprised how many guys still go prv while i'm lookin like a hot mess

    I thought I may ad:

    It all depends on the type of image you want, and what your fans are looking for too! If you can only provide amateur content, and would like to remain an amateur, stick with amateur content.

    If you want a "pro model" image with pro pics, and can deliver this content again and again for updates, etc you may want to go this route!

    I'd say do a nice selection of amateur, pro and candid (everyday) pics! Post some up and ask your fans what they think of each kind. If they like one type more then the other you can release more future content of that type and keep them happy.

    I think amateur pics do better in this day and age. On a camsite, professional pics will set you apart, because so many girls do not have them! BUTTT it is your amateur camshows that keep them coming back for more! You can still get high quality photos from a digital camera, instead of using a webcam. I have alot of photos that are taken with a high quality camera, but the friend who took them was no professional photographer.

    Well said. I am building my own amateur fetish modeling site (all by myself) and though it's supposed to be "amateur" I have an "eye candy" section where I posted some of my Pro fetish modeling/modeling pics kinda like a teaser. I will also be selling photo sets(amateur and pro) and maybe vids on my site. Men like variety. The main thing is knowing that you are REAL. I'll still offer camshows/cam with phone shows but all non-nude fetish stuff. I have a few models I study and I take little ideas from them and make it my own. I think it's however you want to present yourself. Do what works for you.

    I guess this is why I don't work on the big sites much anymore.
