How about this then...

[stogie bear]

Well, much of the last month or so has been some good natured banter about what we like and what we don't like. We are all trying to force our will on the morphing of the site so that it has more content that we as individuals like!

That's a good thing right?

Anyway - one thing I have noticed is that we devote as much space to the grade one models as we do to the erm... (how to put this in a nice way...) 'others'!

How about this... We slap up as many pics of the better models and restrict the 'others' to maybe just a few of their better shots. (Preferably post processed through photo shop!)

Also couldn't we add the amount of pics of each gallery to the bio at the top of the first page? Some times I see a girl I really like only to be shot down by the fact there are only 50 pics, then I see some mechanic in a tutu that seems to go on for pages and pages...

Having the number of pics at the top of each front page would be a useful (and easy addition) to the models intro.



With some care and attention to detail (and yes, it takes some time) we can turn some of these shoots around so they look great!

I think that in many cases there are too many similar photos of a single model.
eg
photo 1 model lyng on bed
photo 2 model lying on bed moves left arm
photo 3 model lying on bed moves left arm further and smiles
photo 4 model lying on bed moves left arm further and smiles a bit more

etc etc

I dont mean to take the piss. I think the site is great. But a small number of different photos would be better.

I am also one of those people that likes to see the girl dressed, wearing sexy underwsear, etc.

Also someone, some time ago, asked for more ass shots. Me too. But, my definition of ass shot is not a camera lens stuck up her small intenstine but a full shot of the girl from behind where we can see her whole body from behind, with perhaps her looking over her shoulder with a smile on her face.

Any other opinions ...?

Stogie you are a pro. I cannot obsess on this whatever you have been doing so far is great by me. I love the site and you guys are real pros

Coming soon(ish!)

This project has been on the back burner for a while and I promise I'll get my ugly butt working on it soon.

The whole site here at ATS.com and sites within a site are a complete team effort by many people.
I'm probably the loudest!

I agree, too many pic's of the model in the same position. Over and Over.......

As far as Photoshop'ing the Ladyboys well, I don't like to be fooled too much. I like the plain-Jane Look. You know the girl next door look. I am not much of a fan for the SUPERSTARS, most of them turn me off because they don't seem approachable and IN the FRONT of my mind I know the entire 7th Calvary has been in her.

All you Plain-Jane's out there =

I would not like to see the girls touched up too much by photoshop because I want to know what I am getting when I see them up close and personal. However maybe the guys who unfortunately do not get to LOS might like to seem looking perfect and flawless.

Getting rid of some of the knee scrapes and so would ge good though.

Pls. no Photoshop guys! That's not an ad campaign. Hate to see all those girls with no shadows no nothing like on a billboard.
More variances and creativity in the pictures, like different angles, accessories, playing with light/shadow, maybe b/w, more fetish, leather, latex, feet, heels,....
For the advanced camera artists among you: An range from Bettina Rheims (surreal colour) to Andreas Bitesnich (sensual b/w) - from Nan Goldin (super-realistic) to Robert Maplethorpe (the best anyway!). You have fantastic models down there, I think it's worth playing around with styles and just let your perverted creativity free!

There is no 'Photoshop' on the main site at all (aside from re-sizing the pics) and there are no plans to start (as far as I know!)

I know I often get a jab from Jon when I over do the girls in the Clubhouse!

It would be nice to see the lesions and scabs disappear though. There is no way that this is sexy to anyone on earth, right?

Keep the ideas coming...

[Guest]

Wisetraveller, your idea regarding ass shots is spot on! It's not necessary to have a proctologists view....but your idea of full body shot with tgirl SMILING!!!! as she looks over her shoulder is fantastic.
Hmmmm, maybe arching her back a bit.....

website owners take note!
More of those shots please!

[tropical]

Wisetraveller,
wise words indeed,I agree totally with your perspective on this and I must admit I have been harbouring a pet hate for those arse shots where the girl is all sphincter and hands tearing her arse apart (doesnt do much for me), but the pose you suggested, now that is erotic and definetly my favourite shot.
I also love to see shots of the girls in their sexy underware with closeups of whats hidden in their knickers, sending my imagination into over drive.
As for photo shopping the girls , no way, thankyou for keeping them presented in their all natural state.

[Snick]

I agree with Stoogie - Absolutly no photoshop. photoshop is bad.

[stogie bear]

^ Agree - destroying this image above with photoshop would just ruin the natural flavour of the shot. 'Au naturelle' all the way, eh?

we use photoshop for every single gallery that you see on this site without exception, but basically for lightening the photos, not for making the girls look embalmed. Sometimes with outdoor photos especially shadows cast a bad shadow over the girls and we have to lighten; if you guys could see some of the photos on my hard drive BEFORE they hit the website you would know what I mean. Ask Snick and I can verify this myself; getting the lighting perfect for studio shoots is very difficult and often times they come out dark; in those cases we use photoshop to lighten the photos but that is IT! for you purists out there and I am one of them, we will never alter the way the girls look by making them look yellow and taking away scrapes and bruises and tattoos; we show you the real girl, warts and all. better so when you meet her you know you are getting the real deal.

Posing IS a problem as wise traveller suggested, I will happily admit that. I have taken over 50,000 photos of these people and frankly I have run out of ideas! having new photogs helps with this as we now have a different perspective from when there was just one guy doing most of the work. Again lighting comes in to play here, as Snick and I can both attest to since we are the only 2 of the 4 photogs here who use studio lights; when you have a girl on the bed in a perfect spot, moving her over even just 1 foot throws off the whole shoot! So sometimes you may see a girl looking the same or close to the same in concurrent photos; you should see all the pics that hit the cutting room floor here.

Take a look at studio portraits taken by a pro and advertised in his studio window; girl leaning on arm; girl sitting on stool; man sitting on bench; wedding party all standing and posing for one photo. Now ask that same guy "why don't you get the girl off the stool and take 150 photos of her and move your lights around for each different photo" and you may get an idea of what we are facing.

No "touching up", no more "rosey red" shots, less of the "superstars" who have developed an attitude, no way should anyone be on this site more than three times in a year, try taking shots outside like a tourist would of some of the places that we would visit, after all variety is the spice of life. I myself prefer the "less is more" look as I find the softer porn shots to be much more sexy. The right blend of makeup, clothing and location can really get my blood boiling. That "in your face" look belongs on the Apemans site. Just my two or three cents worth.
