I know this is a swingers site and not a photo gallery but many of the pics on here are dire.... repetitive, boring, lacking in creative or technical skills. No excuses....you can take great pics even on a phone these days.... Can you prove me wrong?

Are you a photographer by profession ? Or is it a dedicated hobby of yours ? If it’s an area of expertise for you, instead of criticising how about offering constructive feedback on how people who are normally using their phones might get the best out of them ( no - we don’t want an offer to do a shoot for us).

If they’re so bad you could always stop looking at peoples profiles if they are offending your eyes so much

Technically he is right. You can take truly fantastic photos on a phone. But only if you know how to compose a good picture. Most people don't. I don't and it shows which is why I hardly ever appear in a picture. Do I wish I had more pictures? Definitely. But I'm not prepared to inflict truly awful pictures on people. Not yet anyway!

I did have a bad feeling for the OP when I read his message, hope you have your tin hat and full body armour on! There are some bad photos on here, but there are loads of great ones too, best to ignore the bad and compliment (or just drool over ) the good xx

There’s lots who can prove you wrong here, though your observation is a little rich considering you, on a previous post, mentioned your proficiency in the art. At the time, and this went unanswered, I asked why the verifications you pointed to as proof of your competence had not used any of the images you shot in their profiles though if they did it shows your images as dire, boring and lacking in creative and technical skills, composition, use of light ....

A close up of a vagina is ok if you have given your viewers some context by having other full body shots, face shots etc It may surprise you but I think most men want to know about the woman the vagina is attached to That's what makes it sexy. If you look at which photos get loads of fabs, you'll often see women showing their faces, nice smile ... And lowering your eyes, legs open and nice pussy on show too, so she looks like she's enjoying showing you xx

I’ve photographed many professional models in fully lit studios, that said yes we can all produce both good and bad photos or images as the pro’s call them.. these days rarely is any photo straight out the camera in the pro world.. so not only do you have to compose it, take it, correct it in image software before posting on here, only to be appreciated by a few members. not likely.. edit a few if any and get them out there I say on here.. why waste hours on photoshop.. if professional photos are wanted best to look at purple port .. model mayhem .. MCM etc..

So put some of your work on your profile. The “I was going to show you but your profile choices prevent me from doing so” smacks of a juvenile attempt to be allowed contact with people who do not allow contact from single males.

I think you can take decent pics with a phone.

Of course it's easier for couples as it's not always selfie.

That said some of my selfie pics get the most fabs.

I think if people are confident to post pics they should not be publicly ridiculed.

We see pics that are not our taste, we just scroll by.

Everyone is entitled to use their profile how they wish & post the pictures that they want, as long as they comply with the site rules. As with life in general, everyone likes different things & what appeals to one won't appeal to others.

I generally prefer arty/creative pics that tease, those are the ones that I fab & I try to post pics myself that are along similar lines. Often there are photos on hot pics that really don't appeal to me, but the fact they are on there proves that others clearly enjoy them.

We prefer the homemade pics to profiles who seem to have spent ages editing images onto white backgrounds. They're often not pro quality, and actually loses a little trust. We like to see lumps and bumps - most of us have them!

And don't even get us started on captions such as "she's takes it good" or "sub slut" etc. Total turn off!

It's not rocket science taking good pics on a phone. If you get the angles right and have a tidy background anything is possible.

Once I take one I like I spend less than 5 minutes adjusting the light filters and I'm done.

It's hard to know which is worse, a lazy photo or one that is so heavily photoshopped that it is cartoonish.

Have you seen your 2 profile pics? And you criticise other? Yes some are so crap you cant tell what they are. But posting them probably gave some thrill to the poster so live and let live. No one forces others to look at all the photos. Different type of photos appeal to different people.

Agreed! As most people know I am an expert on this subject because I constantly take/share pics... sexually/socially, professionally... you name it I can do it... easy peasy lemon squeezy... NOT

I have seen some lovely pics over the years. You do get a mix range from the graphical to arty. Still not Fab'd a pic and have mine turned off. Just not into it. The only thing we have control of is our profiles.

I actually enjoy pics that are less than perfect. Actually adds a touch of reality to the whole thing. If I want to see glossy professional porn pics, It is the easiest thing in the world to search.

Hey OP,

What makes your the arbiter of quality photography? Yes, the standard of photography varies across the site, but so what? You come across as a pompous knob with a camera... why not post a gallery of your own work before taking a dig at others? I suspect most people couldn’t give a fuck...

This is a sex site not an art house after all!

We actually try and be very selective about the quality of our images. A nicely composed photo with a soft colour looks nicer than flash photography that emphasises any red tones or dark patches where in real life in person, they’re not there. Phones are good at taking photos but they always have a heavy red tone to them which makes a lot of photos look quite unflattering. Real eyes see a beautiful balance of the colour spectrum. Flash photography is especially awful. People should turn the flash off. We’d rather see a slightly dark image than a blotchy flash photo. It’s not the person’s fault. It’s the phone. Sometimes people may not know how to turn the flash off.

I have to say I completely agree with the opening post. It is easy to knock the guy, but he does have a valid point. There are some awful images on the site. If the purpose of some of them is to attract others they are failing. Something that looks like it should be out of a grim anatomical magazine is not going to turn people on! Before you check we don't post public pictures because of our professions....

Just out of interest - why do you need to contact people privately to prove your credentials? Surely there is a way of evidencing them publicly, even if just by putting up some examples of your own work on your profile. Even your own profile pics look as though they were taken by somebody else

With respect , as stated before , rolling out the “I can’t contact you privately” line just gives the impression of a very purile attempt to be able to message people where you don’t fit their dynamic , be it because they are not accepting messages from single males, or because of their age preferences.

Although , as another posting has rightly said, your point is valid in relation to some profiles, your methodology of criticising them, whilst pontificating about your own abilities , without evidencing said abilities, and alongside your regular entreaties for women over 35 years of age (sometimes multiple times in a week in separate postings), does not encourage confidence.

Im less anonymous than you, but I’m not the one who is taking a pop at the quality of other people’s photography (which I’m well qualified to do). But then I’m respectful enough to know that just because I can doesn’t mean I should.

If you feel the need to to pontificate on the quality of other people’s photography then this is the wrong forum for you. However, you may wish to demonstrate that you can walk the walk before talking the talk, wherever you choose to be “the Expert”.

Oh, and I noticed you’ve not responded to the multiple posts questioning the honesty of your claimed age of 50... the significance of which is if you’re not honest about that what else is bullshit, Mr. Anonymous?

Thank you for your advice to get a life. Actually, I’ve had one for years and it’s great!

I manage ok with a mobile phone, bit of blu tack/sticky backed plastic (hint at bluepeter)/ or anything else to get the phone to stay at the angle I want.

I use a self timer, to give me hopefully enough time to get into position, get into a sort of pose before the picture is taken.

I tend to take a picture of where I want me to pose, so I know I have the angle about right and also where I need to be. Doing this also lets you know where you need to tidy

But it must matter to you, if you felt the need to knock off 35 years. Unless, of course, it was to get around age filters, I half suspect.

Whenever I’ve mentioned to people lying about their age (both in the vanilla world and in the swinging scene), they have been in agreement.

You’ve been caught lying about your age, and a quick look at your photo made that a very easy lie to uncover. It’s a lie that costs you any credibility you may have thought remained after being so abusive, pompous and arrogant about other people’s photography.

Might I suggest you go back to glamour night at your local photography club, and have a little tug afterwards as you look at the screen on your camera.

You’ve done yourself and photographers everywhere a great disservice with this thread, and your attitude.
