Do you ever worry that your photos are better than how you look in person? I don't alter, filter or do anything with mine but l still wonder if they will be disappointed in the flesh.

No. We blur faces and distinguishing marks and anything in the photo that would be recognisable.
However I don't turn up to meets in an under bust corset or leather harness so it's possible that disappointment may ensue  |

There is an easy way to make pics without a thousand snaps . Just make a video and then screen shot the best ones from that. You can slide the video along till you get to the pose you want and then screen shot and crop till your happy. It's a lot easier than pressing that button a thousand times and deleting.
You can pay for my advice with nudes |

"I perfected the suck in and hold technique years ago for my pics, so much so that now when i have a meet I can hold it for over an hour !  .
Oh my !! I wish that technique would work for me haha  "
I don't believe your sucking technique isn't spot on |

We present an artistic image to the public gallery. People like them, appreciate them, etc. There's plenty of less flattering material for our potential playmates to peruse so they know what they're getting by meeting us.
Do we worry about folk being disappointed when they see us? Not really, it's out of our control. We're certainly not gonna cry ourselves to sleep if someone doesn't like what they see in person. |

I generally find most people always look better in person
That old saying that the camera add 10lbs is quite true
Plus if it's face pics a lot feel awkward "posing" for them so you end up with odd looking smiles etc at times |

Nope - but then I don't use photoshop/airbrush etc! On a meet/in clubs people recognise me instantly! If any comments are made it's generally to tell me I look better than my pictures.
I do get offers of professional pics - I'm sure most single women do - but I decline as I'd hate to look amazing on my pics but be a disappointment in the flesh! Xx |

If I'm meeting without make up on my concern is they won't recognise me. If I don't smile I look miserable as sin.
Years ago, I met someone from a different site. I'd not seen a pic of him without sunglasses; he hadn't seen a pic of me without straightened hair and full make up. We walked past each other at the station and didn't recognise each other  |

I don't think I'm particularly photogenic and can't be arsed taking dozens of photos for the site. I've got plenty in private reserved for friends.
Guys I meet get to see recent face and body pics, and the majority tell me I look even better in the flesh. Nobody has been disappointed yet, or they wouldn't want to meet again |

Fair enough! We should all just do what works for us!  |

Both of us are very uncomfortable in front of a camera
After 4 years, we only have 2 photos with us both in that we are both happy with
I would hope, therefore, that seeing us in real life, you get to see our sunny dispositions as opposed to our faces of shear awkwardness |

"No, I'm always told I look better in real life. Generally I'm not photogenic and that's ok."
See, I would prefer that. I've never been told I look better in real life. Mind you, I've never been told I look worse than my pics so that's something I suppose. |

We don't put many pictures on here, although the OH does on his single profile. Nothing is altered or changed on the photos, so they go on as they are taken. I always think people look netter in the flesh as they have some animation, usually! |

i did from all the wow and stunning i get. so i asked a few regular meets if i looked different to my pics and they said not really.
i feel like my face is somewhat better in person (not much, mainly coz i have lighter coloured eyes that look dark brown in pics for some reason) and been told i look better in person as well. |

My double chin and wrinkles don't show in my photos. I did have an au naturale pic, with no make up, on here but it was taken a couple of years ago now, and I like to keep my photos current. |

I spend lots of time making things look right. Lots of lighting and moving things around in the foreground. Looking in the right direction etc, I can spend at least an hour until I'm happy before I meet anyone.
I don't do anything with my photos though. |

I tend to cam so we can see the "real" versions of ourselves |

Not especially, firstly because I use honest up-to-date photos and secondly because as I tend to only meet at clubs and parties, so if people think I'm a total troll fish, they have other options to pursue.
I'd love to have the gumption of some and relaunch photos which are a couple of years/stones in the past as if they were taken yesterday; but I guess I'm too honest for my own good. |

I'm terrible at getting photos I think will look good on my profile. So much so I'm considering a photography shoot if I can find someone I can sign a contractual agreement over who has the image rights etc |

i don't alter my pictures but then of course always try for them to turn out as good as they can. that's why I tend to send face pics so that everyone is aware of who they are actually meeting...
I think i am fairly body confident it is more face, personality and sexual expectations that can worry me. |

"Um no offense guys but nobody is going to say "Your pics are so flattering but in reality you're shorter/uglier/fatter" when there's potential sex on the cards"
beg to differ - we have turned away people in the past who look nothing like their pics |

Care?
No.
We don't take pics for anyone other than ourselves - if anyone else likes them then that's cool.
In the flesh we've never had an issue either as singles or together and tbh neither of us gaf if anyone doesn't like what they see. |

The majority of mine are literally full body pics, I may hold in my stomach a little bit but not to the extent some may think, I always over emphasize my wobbly bits, so a meet never expects more, however it has been quite a while since I met so I may be being delusional  |

No I don't worry as my arse is not usually on the side of a balloon or on the wall of the Tate, my cock isn't usually on the back of a London bus nor do I hand out magnifying glasses in order to see it. However the latter might stop the 'Bless' followed by giggles I usually encounter |

I'm not photogenic hence why I filter the fuck outta mine.
However, I do get told my photos don't do me justice which at the end of the day is what counts, for me anyway. |

Of course not, I'm not that impolite. I would, however decline to take it any further than a social, and have done so on a couple of occasions, but thankfully most people do look like their pictures. |
