Photo help wanted...

February 19 2015

Hi all, been here for a while now and have become conscious that my photos - which are all selfies - don't compare too well with photos that I see on other profiles where the photos have been taken by someone else. Now, like many people on here, I keep my RHP life entirely separate from my 'vanilla' life and apart from one friend (you know who you are,x) I haven't been able to find someone to take some decent pics of me. So I'm putting out this call for some help here. Is anyone happy to take on the role of photographer? No expectations regarding professional photographers (anyone would be better than me) or any other stuff - I just want to have some pics that I'm at least a little bit proud of. Thanks!

    The pics you have are great except your main profile pic! ! The white singlet ages you a hundred years! OK, I am exaggerating but as a girl - it reminds me of my dad!! - Posted from rhpmobile

    Use a camera with a timer. Mine only cost $80, Nikon Coolpix.

    Don't even own a camera You have the same problem when u are part if a couple and want couples pics! We use our iPhone and downloaded a timer app and prop it up somewhere and set the timer Sometimes you need to take 20 pics to get one good one , and then you just edit them and crop them . Good luck Xx mrs Cs - Posted from rhpmobile

    for your thoughts and ideas. I have changed my main pic (no more white singlet) and will try to find a timer app for my phone (I don't own a camera either).

    I have to say a lot of the men's profile photos need work. The unsmiling serial killer photos to bathroom shots with dirty mirrors and towels thrown on the floor. Eek just makes me think they need a mother to clean up after them. Most women would take their own photos as well sa66sa66. We just spend a lot of time experimenting and playing around with angles and lighting. My current profile picture for instance is pretty okay and it is a selfie and easy to do. I like it because it shows me smiling but is still sexy and naughty... .like me. Looks to me like some guys take one or two photos and post it on their profile and they don't even care if it is flattering or not. What is with that? Hate to say it..having a good profile picture is pretty important to your success on RHP. I think anyway. Clear and smiling faces or interesting pics of you doing something other than standing in a bathroom is always good too. Anything that makes you stand out from the crowd. Good luck!

    Quoting 'sa66sa66' for your thoughts and ideas. I have changed my main pic (no more white singlet) and will try to find a timer app for my phone (I don't own a camera either). If you were in Sydney I would happily take some photo's for you (purely from a professional point of view, I'm not into guys, if that makes it more comfortable...). If you're interested I can send you some good tips for getting the most from your photo's, as I'm sure plenty can here too - I've seen some very good photo work by others on here. Don't take my profile pic as an example of what I can do, that's just there for, well, it's just there....lol

    A "heres my bum in a bathroom" selfie...... doesn't do much for anyone.... even Kim Kardashian. You really don't need to bare skin in here...... everyone else does and it can fade off into the crowd of same-same images. You'd be surprised how far a warm, happy, smiling face can engage people.Aside from that, you need to tweak your written profile as it doesn't really say anything about you or engage the reader. DG

    Get a selfie stick or use a timer! Selfie stick will cost you maybe $15-20 and if you aim well, you can crop it out and it looks like someone else has taken the photo (I took my main pic with one). Also, get out of the bathroom - lying on a bed as opposed to posing in front of a toilet is much more appealing, and women do take notice of your background. Mischeviouslad I disagree about not needing to bare skin - I've tinkered with my public photos and had everything from headless implied nude pics to just smiling face photos...With the more G-rated photos, my profile views drop to less than half. Although perhaps I'm a bit of a prawn Jess xx

    Quoting 'Mischeviouslad' You really don't need to bare skin in here...... everyone else does and it can fade off into the crowd of same-same images. You'd be surprised how far a warm, happy, smiling face can engage people. Absolutely, I often get emails to compliment me on my smile. I read in a magazine yesterday that Kim Kardashian takes up to 1200 selfies a day and has even employed a selfie stylist. Can this be true? Seems impossible. The same article also said that on average a woman will spend up to 716 hours in their life time perfecting selfie profile shots for their online life. ... Yeah probably.

    Scroll through Instagram..... selfie obsessed.... bathroom selfie obsessed..... bikini selfie obsessed... result-of-my-excessive-diet obsessed. And lots of guys with abs fishing for comments. The world of deeper substance has lost the plot.

    Although perhaps I'm a bit of a prawn Jess xx You are definitely no prawn Budda PS: I have never really understood that reference - I love prawn heads - especially deep fried - nice and tasty little bit of a spicy aioli - the best bit... but I digress Oh and in reference to the initial question - I use my webcam a lot - you can see the pic, takes on a delay and also can take multiple pics quickly so u can pick the one where you are sucking in the gut the most lol

    The iphone camera app comes already with a timer.

    look for an app that just does continuous photos, say one every second or so. Prop it up and set it off, then delete the rubbish ones later. Quicker than set, pose, wait, *click*, check pic, delete, set, pose, wait, *click*, and so on If you have an ipad/tablet as well, there are free apps that let you see what the phone camera sees on the tablet, so you can frame it while the camera is propped up ten feet away
