Nothing wrong with your photos. If you have someone to take them for you check out some boudoir type profiles on Instagram for ideas. O have a huge collection of photos I'd love to have taken if had someone to take them for me.

Natural light, no filters and play with the position of the model in the composition, the more natural everything is, the more attractive it will be.

My top tips are clean your room it's so distracting to see your laundry everywhere.

Put some effort in with styling lingerie pose etc it might take a few attempts to get the right picture.

I think a bit of mystery and suspense in a photo is good leaves you wondering what's on underneath

Honestly, while we all want to look our best or at least presentable, and artistic pics are beautiful to look at, I can't see the point of having pics up on fab that are so far from the reality that you would barely recognise yourself. It's simply giving a false impression to others. This - and the fact that I am a lazy sod means that my pics are somewhat shoddy by some standards, but at least fairly representative.

Of course, at the other end of the scale is an unidentifiable close-up of a portion of a torso, at least you think that's what it is

In terms of dick pics, I looooooooooove a pic that just teases with a bit of cock. Don't let me see the whole thing straight away. Make me work for it ffs. Nothing hotter than a man who knows how to tease.

Only filters I use is the lighting. As for position hard to take good ones of yourself.

Light is your best friend. Try a simple small bedside light pointing at you from the side with the main room light off. Creates a lovely shadow and mood in the photo. Babyoil or oil spray to make the light bounce off your skin, looks really good in B/W.

Have a little fun, try countless poses and very often less is more when it comes to how graphic you feel you need to be. That said even the most graphic photo can look amazing when composed with a little thought

I don’t really like pictures of myself so took ages to add one, so just put a chest picture up. This developed into the legs. Then I tried to go for classy, artistic ass by the fire which apart from nearly burning myself and contour ting into all sorts of shapes I was eventually able to get - timer is your friend and prolong the camera up unless you’ve got someone to help lol I prefer pictures which for the imagination or those you get a glimpse of something which can also include a smile or eyes. Pictures should leave people smiling but wanting more

I see where you are coming from but when most people here the word Photoshop they assumed blemish removal or changing body shape. We have plenty of faults and wobbly bits but not one has been edited out. Every single photo we have had had the tones changed and that is purely to convey the mood we might have been in at the time, more so because I like our particular style and if others do to then happy days. I detest headshot filters on snap etc but fully understand why some use them. 99% of the time its a pure lack of confidence or abilty to take a decent photo of themselves. I for one can't take a selfie to save my life

I haven't removed any blemishes or fat bits out of my photos no point not going to lie and show something that's not real. My face pic is private again not altered why would you do that. If you like what you see in a photo and meet them and think "ah here" that's not a great start to a bit of fun if you have lied about how you look.

Yup. The first tip I was ever given was don't think for a second you are everyone's cup of tea, thankfully I didn't think I was anyone's cup of tea so a knock back for any reason doesn't hurt my poor little soul to much.

Back to the original point, there are some amazing photographers here and other sites where one can people can pick up tips or copy shooting styles. I'm not sure if I can mention them but Pinter...est is a great place to start for simple tips

Good lighting is the key, either natural or off camera flash. I use both when I do shoots of people. A mix of color and black and white photos is always good

A few shots should be taken to get lighting and composition righ. This helps you see unwanted background things like toilet, socks, family photos, wedding ring on bedside table .

Wide angle enough for movement in the frame as one can crop. Then taking a short 15 to 20 sec video in HD can help as this can provide a few different poses which can be cut, cropped and saved. Longer video if you are going to get lost in the moment too...

Just a note of caution too. It's always been a danger with apps requesting access to other areas of your phone or they won't let you use them, but with photo apps it's impossible to say no to you photo album.

Google has removed these 29 apps from Play Store for stealing photos, delete them from your smartphone if you have any of them.

Be vigilant.
