There are Photographers on here who offer their services free of charge so I don't see where there's a problem. We all like to look as good as possible in pics at the end of the day. |

"What do you mean by professional? Do you mean photos taken by professional photographers, or photos of people who are working in the sex industry? "

I don't understand the problem. If I went and paid to have some professional boudoir type pics taken why not use them on here?
And if there are escorts or whatever on here using their pics as long as they aren't using the site to ask for money for services why does it matter?
I'd love to have some proper pics done! |

"No, I don't agree.
Why shouldn't people want nice photos?
Better than messy backgrounds, mirrors or blurry photos."
Oh you forgot the toilet in the background (vomit) |

People post the pics they want to post - admittedly some are not theirs to post, some people enjoy having photoshoots done and some are not too bothered about the "professionalism".
Why do the more professional shots bother you OP?

I think you'll find people remain themselves when having photos taken by a professional. |

People use professional images on here because it shows them in the best light...
and to be fair, it can very often show the actual beauty of the person rather than a crappy mobile phone image. |

I think there's a difference between professional photo's that you pay for and those pics that a member has taken time to consider and set up to shoot themselves or with their playmate. I certainly wouldn't call the later professional, even though the quality may be very high. |

 All professional photos are now porn photos?
You're free to decide how to choose whom you're interested in meeting though. I doubt many with professionally taken photos will mind too much. Many wouldn't want to meet you either. |

I have no issue with professional photos. If I ever meet a photographer I could relax enough with I'd be tempted; I have loads of photo ideas that just aren't possible with my selfie equipment. The photos would still be of me so I don't see what the issue is? |

I dont think you'd have much of a choice with that kind of attitude. people want to entice others to meet them, most of them have fabulous pictures and would you look at that they Get meets too. |

Do it!! I had a boudoir shoot with a female photographer and it was so much fun, she made me relax and laugh, you can take all your ideas to them, it's very liberating xx |

You're really not enjoying yourself here are you? Not stopped moaning.
Personally I don't really have a problem with how someone else uses this site, as long as they're not messing me about. If that includes well done photos, I'm all for it. |

The OP was just expressing an idea, I don't think it was intended as a personal slight against anyone. With or without crappy pics.
Some really take things to heart too much !

If you look at the amount of fabs some ladies pics get, the preference is for out of focus selfies, with only 1/3 of the lady in the pic, with piles of washing in the background.
How dare people take the time and effort to have professional pics done.
Maybe, just maybe, people get professional pics done to feel better about themselves? They are that pleased with the result, feel more confident as a result and want to share them with us?
My pics aren't great but they are the ones I am happiest with. I wouldn't dream of throwing a blurred pic of my bellend on here because all that would say about me is that I'm a vague cock. |

So you dont think models swing??
For an older gentleman you seem to be very narrow minded..
Also,why shouldnt the ladies here want to be seen in THE best possible light,pics wise..The guys taking the pics get their jollies, the ladies get what they want.Its a win win for both parties.

Well I do agree, there was no slight taken, however, I believe (and i expect lots of other will too) that there's nothing wrong with a well thought out/good quality amateur picture. I've seen some bloody fantastic selfies in here and i'm sure the owner's are very proud of them. |

But what is amateur? Mine are all amateur and self-taken but I dress up, strike stupid poses, mess about with filters, only pick the ones which I like best and sometimes throw a supermodel-esque diva strop with myself. By the OP's standards, it sounds like that's not allowed. |

Just cause you like messy photos with toys in back ground etc, don't mean rest of us do.
I wouldn't class my photos as professional but am getting professional photos taken next month which will be uploaded on here.
Seeing as you don't like, I've pre warned, that way you can block my profile and not be subjected to nice looking pictures  |

OP's entitled to his opinion but I take the same stance as you Anna - There's nothing wrong with wanting to create something that you're proud of and want to show off the the world of fab. Even better that you understand the concepts of photography such that the pic looks professional even though is completely DIY! |

No I don't agree
My better photos were taken by 3 men off the 2 naughty websites I'm on
One is a welder
One is a plumber
One is an art lecturer
All of them have never ever been paid for doing photos although clearly they do have great talent and photographic skills
And the rest are my selfies
Now I'm going on a photography course and hope to earn money from it eventually

My earnings probably decreased by about 65% in the eight years that I did it full-time.
Getting undercut by every bloke with a digital camera, commercial clients taking everything in house, the recession meaning no one had money to spend on frivolous things like portraits, PR companies hammering rates down...the list is fairly endless! |

Why is it a good thing to post rubbish photos? It isn't much of an effort to take a decent photo - and not all good photos are "professional". My photos may not be great but my pride wouldn't let me post anything that I thought wasn't the best I could achieve. Besides which, on this site the photos are an advertisement for who you are and what you're like - who wants to present themselves as sloppy and careless? |

not true I have several friends that make really good money from photography and I don't mean wedding snaps"
It's true if you're new to it, unless you're willing to sell your soul!

I don't see it as professional or amateur, it's more of a case of some people make the effort to look good in their photos and some don't. There's nothing wrong with making some effort to portray yourself as best you can. Nobody is forcing you to look at the nicer pics, there are plenty of not so good ones on here to look at |

One of the things I noticed when I first joined Fabs was how amazing some peoples photos were.
I've had great fun over time learning new techniques & reigniting a passion for photography.
I wouldn't want to filter the fuck (® T2!) out of my photos so you can't see imperfections, lumps & bumps but I want them to look good.
Ultimately I want to be better in reality than on here ~ the photos are a way of enticement to my little corner.

"Hi all seems to me that there are more and more Professional photos cumming on this site! Surely this is wrong swingers are not getting paid for sex are they so why have professional photos?? More amateur photos please does everyone agree? "
Urm there are creatively talented peeps out there who don't need a professional tog to do the shots and if the have the right equipment, why not?? It actually shows they taken some thought in doing so..... |

Natural photo's are the best to me, we are not all porn stars (fake) "
You see OP, that's what you get for beating around the bush, instead of simply coming straight out and saying "There are too many fake profiles on here with pics lifted from porn websites"
Now you've made us think we've got to reshoot all of ours with some dirty laundry, a toilet and a family photo of Aunt Nellie and her poodle in the background. Grrrr
Personally I think a proper, professionally-done boudoir photo-shoot is something every woman should do. They are great fun, and incredibly liberating. Now you're making me wonder whether I should not bother redoing our Heights of Abraham one when its not raining...
Mr ddc
Ps don't worry about the fakes, we just use the best ones for inspiration. |

No I don't agree...
Photos are used (along with text) to try and entice others.
Would much rather look at photos where it's clear they have made an effort, rather than some dark and blurry that will do pic. |

"I think there's a difference between professional photo's that you pay for and those pics that a member has taken time to consider and set up to shoot themselves or with their playmate. I certainly wouldn't call the later professional, even though the quality may be very high.
Okay kids, calm down lol
The OP was just expressing an idea, I don't think it was intended as a personal slight against anyone. With or without crappy pics.
Some really take things to heart too much !
Let's all play nice otherwise I'll take that ball off you
Well I do agree, there was no slight taken, however, I believe (and i expect lots of other will too) that there's nothing wrong with a well thought out/good quality amateur picture. I've seen some bloody fantastic selfies in here and i'm sure the owner's are very proud of them. "

I love taking photos and thinking about how to take better photos when I see how some work and some don't.
It's complete self-indulgence, but it's fun, so I'm going to keep doing so.
Can you imagine Fab with only passport-style "accurate" photos |

I take most of my own pics but when a photographer offered to take some photos of me for free (& no he didn't lay a finger on me) I jumped at it.
So I can only apologise if my profile pictures make me into some 'fake' or 'porn star' type...I am neither, but you are entitled to your opinion |

Don't apologise - your photographs are exactly what we like to see. Many others obviously feel the same, judging by the number of fabs that you have! |

I've got boudoir shots on my profile from 3 years ago...I'd have more if they weren't so blinking expensive! I also have shots from various meets and parties...incidentally, the boudoir shots aren't photoshopped to excess, I have the originals as tiny wee pics so I could choose my faves and couldn't believe how good I looked - it's down to the photographer's skill in getting the right pose |

You don't need "professional" photos.
Thus is what I don't get about the OPs post: your pics are you and your personality.
Your pics are a little daring, a little coy,are every sexy and lovely. To me they say more about you than words on a profile.
Photos can be the real description of a person or couple. |

Photo's can be an insight on how a person wants to be percieved.
A Profile offers an insight on how a person wishes to be.
A message offers an insight on what a person can communicate about themselves.
A social meet will offer an insight on just how keen they are to fuck.
An orgasm will reveal how they are on a basic carnal level.
The day after may reveal how they really feel.
A picture is a part of a complex jigsaw. For some, the most important piece. |

"What do you mean by professional? Do you mean photos taken by professional photographers, or photos of people who are working in the sex industry?
Both, its getting more and more here do you agree?"
Yes there are a lot of sex industry workers on Fab because they to enjoy swinging like everybody else, i have done 3 film/photo shoots this week for ladies on Fab wanting to do glamour through to naughty stuff etc because they wanted a change to the norm.
Does really it matter to the OP why people want Am/Pro pics & if they do how does it effect you as a member on Fab & in what way...

Im into Photography as a hobby an as u say have photos that look profesional cause i have a friend who takes my photos with my camera my Nikon slr camera, they are not professional at all, i just dont want rubbish photos on my profile, its up to the person what photos they have on their profile. An all i notice u seem to do is winge on here, u moaned about meets now about photos. Is it the fact u dont get anyone interested in your profile an have meets an the fact u moan , do u realise u moaning on the forums the way u do is off putting to some , or the fact u may be a pic collector wanting more ameteur pics, some people make the effort with their photos.an i have fun in front of the camera when having pics taken, |

"Disagree with the OP, but like it's already been said, what do you class as professional photos? Some of ours are professional quality, but we're taken free of charge by a skilled amateur.
"
Great photos You have esp one on the chair
yes u can have professional photos done but by an ameteur, i totally disagree with the op too, who put up the post in the first place, maybe cause he only has one photo that looks like its a webcam photo or by a phone an it doesnt look like professional an knocks people who have as he says professional photos on their profile. |

I only started taking my pictures since joining here. Just practicing with the ipad. I have enjoyed doing them. I get offers from photographers but I don't feel that I could relax enough in front of someone else. The photos that work well are actually for my house so I want to take the best I can. My photos have changed since starting this but so have I. |

But what is amateur? Mine are all amateur and self-taken but I dress up, strike stupid poses, mess about with filters, only pick the ones which I like best and sometimes throw a supermodel-esque diva strop with myself. By the OP's standards, it sounds like that's not allowed. "
I do this too and love it! It's just another opportunity to enjoy myself and take some photos that make ME feel good and sexy which all adds to the experience.
It also gets my creativity going and I get to dress up so all good.
I'm not sure I'd get professional shots done as I'm a control freak but I love seeing great pics.
There's way too many that don't make much effort but that is their right too.

Thanks yours too, but we would like a shoot so we could both be in them striking poses and messing around with effects and stuff like that, all ours are basically iPhone selfies taken by Mrs l,
We just think a nice couples photo shoot would be enjoyable and show us both off I'm our best light |

I wouldn't say it's a question of 'professional', it's simply a decent camera with a few stylistic aesthetics thrown in (black and white, high contrast, etc). I personally think it provides a greater sense of clarity to _iew people that you will potentially meet and there is nothing wrong with that. I also have a great deal more likening and respect for people that take more time and consideration in composing their photos as it heightens attraction, tension and ultimately desire. It's a development and I welcome more of them.
p.s. I work free-lance in this industry x |

im not a professional photographer but i do love taking photoes. a lot of the time i do edit them in photoshop to take out the background clutter washers and stuff in the kitchen to make a nicer pic
i definately dont think its wrong to make your pics the best they can be.
however actually shrinking body size and making boobs or cock s bigger or smaller is a step too far cos then its not really that person. but i think taking a few spots away here and there and red eye and stuff and putting cotumes and props in the pic is perfect ok. |

Most professional photographers would never airbrush or artificially remove lumps and bumps, certainly not any of the ones I know. |

My photos haven't been airbrushed - nothing has been added or removed. What I have got is some great pictures where I was just having a giggle with friends and the lighting was good.
