More honest photography please

I have far more respect for those who admit that they prefer to remain clothed because they feel self-conscious, or even shy about their body over the ones who feel the need to argue that remaining clothed makes them somehow better than those with the confidence to wear less.

So true! I think that if you photograph the human body as art, rather than taking "porn style" shots being nude can still be classy.

If a girl wants to put a lot of time in to a shoot, then she should be putting a lot of time in to her sessions as well.

Totally agree with this too. When I do shoots, I always do my hair and makeup as they would be for a session (as I'm obviously big on "what you see is what you'll get) and the photographers are always like "Don't you want to put on MORE makeup?"

Sorry to be off topic, but Anastasia, that's a great 'ass' photo.

A newb? Nice one. I've got more reviews than you homes. Keep on trollin' buddy, keep on trollin'.

If you (literal use of you) somehow made it to the age of consent without a few nicks and dings, one too many Big Macs or a few missed trips to the gym, lucky you.

Plus...c'mon if you've been around any length of time you know how old some of the pictures are, what the gimmicks are and you have a choice of going where you want based on what you know. It IS a valid concern, but like Shea said...YAWN...

All the time spent trying to change the things you can't builds character and wastes time.

I'm putting this out here so hopefully the girls with booties shed some light on them, no pun intended. Also, I think some people are getting confused about what I'm asking. I don't need to see naked butts. I can get all I need to know from just the shape so even silhouettes or clothed is good enough. I don't even like seeing bare ass shots. I think a woman is far sexier in panties than completely naked.

And a lot of ladies don't want to see guys with character...

I agree with the Missy. Like I said earlier in this thread, we just want better more recent photos. None of us are going to show that we have a scar or stretch mark in a picture, this goes for both sexes. We all try to put the best part of us forward. I would like to think most try to be honest and not actually hide that half their face is missing. On the flip side of things, I sure the providers are occasionally (I’m sure the % is higher) disappointed in what we men look like most of the time. I can’t remember a provider ever asking me if I had stretch marks, scars, my penis size, if I have a bald spot, or if I were fat or thin. Contrary to public belief, I am not perfect and I do have a few flaws.
