Photography is clearly one of the key tools in the arsenal of a provider selling her services online. And one of the most controversial. Why? Because photos aren’t really a depiction of reality, but a manipulation of reality.
We’ve certainly discussed at length the various tricks of the trade – hidden bellies, hidden scars, careful angles and lighting, etc. Does she reveal her face? (Or, simply, is she trying to pass images of someone else off as her own.)
My question is: what works? What types of photos tend to push your buttons and lead you to respond to an ad?
I’ve noticed, for example, that more and more explicit photos are being posted on the various ad sites with more frequency. There are more naked breasts on Eros, Exotics, CV and CL than ever before. Not to mention out and out nudes (retouched on some sites – who are they kidding?). It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to make an educated guess that more explicit images lead to higher responses.
But is that really what we’re looking for? Or, do you search for something else. Do you want those expensively retouched Penthouse-quality porn-like images? Or is a nasty amateur shot from a Web cam enough to get you going?
