It's all in the angles

Since joining socialswinging, I have attempted, (I say attempted,when I really mean struggled) to be more active in promoting myself,and joining in with picture sharing, and embracing the body positivity ss promotes.
Gone are the days when you could get away with the standard face shot, tit shot, cross legged in heels shot, and hide the middle area pictures. Everyone is looking hot/sexy in posed angles, and there's me still trying to figure out how people are taking pictures of their arses by themselves.
I'm not even getting started on lighting.I have a street lamp right outside my window.I wait until it's dark, and use it as natural lighting.I'd be screwed with the likes of only fans.If anyone asked me to pose for a cute picture,while getting banged for 4.99 a month.They'll be getting a picture of me walking out of a door.You can get the sneaky phone shots,during the activity obviously ?. But I need to proof see them first, to make sure I don't look like a heffalump. I couldn't imagine anything worse than seeing myself in still frame, after rolling around, looking like a pack of playdoh,that's been played with too many times.
Anyway...I gave it a go. I tried to get cute, sexy professional looking pics...and failed miserably.
I got myself all dolled up, with nowhere to go, and mentally prepped myself for the torture ahead of me.143 photos later.I had 1!! That one wasn't even upload worthy.It was passable at best.
I got too cocky at first,thinking how hard could it be?, So I set the timer for 5 seconds.They were just blurry pics of me diving into some sort of random position.Then I went 10 seconds.Which wasn't any better tbh.They were basically me, just staring weirdly at the camera and hoping for some sort of miracle.
I really tried,because I feel socialswinging is worth the effort to make yourself stand out.Unlike some site, where you can take a picture of your little finger and be the most beautiful woman in the world.
I hope everyone will now appreciate my random thumbs up pics, and full body shots from higher ground.Because that's all i'm capable of.xxEMxx

It’s not easy taking decent self promotional images we all give it a go with different results….a willing helper to do the behind the lense stuff while you do your bestest poses can help … ??
 
true taking them is hard, you can always send them to me to proof for ya :p on a side note you can always try getting a Bluetooth selfie button instead of a timer? maybe get a gopro so you can look at the pic before taking it? Or mentioned above could always get a helping hand im sure we all will volunteer
 
Is that real or are you having me on so I go and search? ? x
its real, it'll also show you selfie sticks but ignore them. as for lighting theres lots of little gadgets you can attach to a phone now im no expert anyway but im sure whatever you post will be great as all your pics till now have been pants ruining good
 
"looking like a pack of playdoh,that's been played with too many times".
Now that is funny.

Next time you have sex, have them take your photos.

If you have to take selfies, make a video then use editing software or screen capture the parts you like.
 
You look amazing in the pictures I've seen of you Skippy01 I think you're putting too much pressure on it, beauty is a natural thing, can't be forced. Over thinking it, in my opinion. Though I can sympathies with poor lighting and cameras.
 
Sorry for a late response, I have been absent for a long while but I feel your post warrants a response.

Promoting yourself is perhaps not the correct approach. All you need to do is be yourself. I don't know if it's just me but I can see very little of anyone's profile, and the most important thing is how you think, what you like, what you would like to try and how you would like to try it. Just be frank, and sod the people who don't like it, don't agree or don't approve. You wouldn't want to meet them anyway, so if you piss them off, no problem. You are responsible for your own happiness. If something you say or do upsets someone, that's their problem, not yours. In the meantime you filter out what you are not looking for. Great.

As for making yourself stand out, to use your words, you don't need to do anything because you are already outstanding. Selfies are a problem, taking a good one is not easy. As others have suggested, try a Bluetooth remote. Better still, find someone who finds you attractive (which will be no problem for you) but is also into photography. Get them to take hundreds of photos, and you can choose which ones you want (but listen to the photographer's advice too, he will see you from another perspective). The photos of you are beautiful. But don't forget that your photos are only there to see if there is an initial attraction. Deeper attraction follows when people get to know your sexy side, which can even develop if there is very little initial attraction.

Please don't be critical of yourself, either. We all want to look our best but in the end none of us are perfect. What is in the mind more than makes up for any (sometimes only self perceived) inadequacies we think we might have.
