Are Professional Pictures a must?

[Mr. GPop]

my 2 cents.. get a decent "point and shoot camera" prices start around 45 and go up.. but it will have a tripod mount on the bottom. Get a small tripod. Make sure the camera has a self timer else you will need some trusted person to take photos of you.

Photos of you in a mirror holding your camera phone or regular phone.. are not flattering. Once you have some posed shots, you can watermark them and post (marking them is good to do so if someone steals them they will need to edit your mark out, most don't)

And being a low volume lady, more accurate photos are key... if a lady is a regular, has her own website then she is out there in the thick of things.. so if her photos are not her etc.. she will get noticed very quickly and be reported.

Is this good enough to suffice?

And although my showcase pictures are amateurish, I feel they reflect my true appearance better than highly retouched photos. is that a good thing? Or is it better to present more of a "fantasy" image?

Thoughts/opinions?

Professionally done or not, make sure they represent how you look CURRENTLY luv.
