Hi there Was this directed to a certain Charm or all in general? There are so many of us and I think that the range of quality in our photos varies GREATLY between one charm to the next. This is a site for amateurs, afterall, and most of us are fumbling our way through and learning as we go. I can tell you with my own site that my photo quality 8 years ago when I started is nowhere near the quality I put out now, 1300 updates later. Could it be better? Of course, and I hope it will be one day as mine and my photographer's skills improve together and the quality of our equipment gets better through the years.

I'm curious to know, how many photos would you like to see in an update? Certainly anything you get in the members' section is a bigger "handful" than what you get in the free section, right? Some of my earlier sets have up to 150 photos each, but as I started updating more frequently and focusing more on quality instead of quantity my photosets have trimmed down a bit. Now, rather than taking many shots that look exactly the same, there are 50 unique photos in each set (with a few special sets, girl/girl and hardcore sets that may have up to 100 pics). Since I update 4 times a week, that means at least 200 new, unique photos in the members' section every week.

I have 1574 sets, plus bonus sets. I have over 178 thousand photos on my site.
Also hundreds of video clips in sets also.
I try to always put over 80 photos in each set and some sets have 200 photos.
The quality of my photos are clear and large. I think you should take a look
at more then one or two sites before you judge us all.

Hi Serena

First off I was not trying to bash Charms and I was not trying to offend anyone,that wasn't my intention.I like Charms and have been following from way back.I should have not posted another sites name,that was my bad.It won't happen again.

Thanks for you response, Peter. I think it is important to note that most of the Charms and their photographers are husband/wife teams... the photographers are also amateurs learning the ropes alongside the models. As for posing, I don't think there is a standard. I've shot with and alongside many Charms and some absolutely NEED their husbands to pose them for every shot. In other cases, the models do all the posing themselves, and pose in ways that make them feel sexy. MANY Charms don't pose at all and their photographer takes "action shots" as they play and do their thing. I have seen all three scenarios work well for some, and fail hard for others. There isn't one way that works best for every Charm/Photographer team.

Do you have suggestions for posing/poses that you'd like to see more or less of?

[henderson80]

Thanks Serena.You are as hot as coals,oh man

Peter, what the hell are you talking about? Do it right?

You are either drunk, on drugs or stupid... You are definitely NOT speaking about ALL Charms and you need to apologize to me and all the other Charms here who DO work hard. I have 670 updates, each has 120 pictures, top notch, I update every week so for $15 you get over 400 new pictures and access to more than 80,400 previous images. There are video clips, slides shows and I happen to feel I AM doing it right.

So exactly what the hell are you talking about? I am HIGHLY pissed. Many MANY of us provide quality updates, I haven't missed posting a new set in 10 years so I want to see an apology immediately. You cannot possibly know many Charms to have posted these comments. Disgusting and senseless.

You weren't bashing us? Then what exactly was the message behind the post? A handful of pictures in each post? What you see for free does not represent what is available on the private area.

And the quality? When was the last time you spent $3,500 on a camera and flash unit? That is what my current set up costs and I happen to feel my pictures and the offerings of MANY many others ARE quality.

I am HIGHLY offended.

Peter, I also wanted to say that I do agree with you that 15 photos in the members' side is not enough, but I think that's a matter of opinion. If you like a girl a lot, then maybe any photos of her at all is enough? I've heard my husband and many other men agree, that ONE good photo is all they need for a good jack off session.

Personally, I feel comfortable with 50, and guarantee that each photo set will have at least 50. I think my photographer and I do a good job with that number. My site has become something that we can both look at and be proud of what we've produced, and that adds to the enjoyment of it. I hope that you'll check it out and like what you see in my members' section, too. There's a lot of content there!

xoxo,
Lace

[henderson80]

This is for Alex

I don't do drugs,I don't drink and I am a smart person.Thank you for those kind words.Earlier I was not specific,but now I am going to be specific.I am PISSED off right now at you.Where is the hard work in standing or sitting there and having your pic taken while you smile or whatever?Where is the creativity in your pics?Can you tell me that?

[ohalexSC22]

Peter, I do apologize for saying you must be drunk, on drugs or stupid. I do not know you and I am better than that.

However, coming to OUR forum to post negative comments about our work is not a very nice thing to do and does not speak well for you.

[henderson80]

I challenge you.I challenge you to do creative stuff here.Strive to be #1 and then others will follow

[henderson80]

If you don't like negative comments then do things to make the site better

[ohalexSC22]

Hi Peter,

I accept your challenge with one exception...it will be work I've already done.

Here you will find just a small sample of the quality, creativity and my current work ethics.

Lol.... I can't even.....
There is so much I could say, but I know this guy is just gonna start bashing me, or my pics, or whatever.

But hey, I'm not on SC for the trolls and haters. So you can go elsewhere. I'm on SC for myself, my members, and my fans. I love them.... I don't really care that much about some random judgmental guy sitting behind a computer. Who thinks he's better than us. Lol.

[henderson80]

For Serena

Ok, I will go into your site and check it and let you know.




For Alex

No,no.It has to be all new stuff,c'mon now.All new stuff,let's see what you'll put up.

[henderson80]

To Serena and Alex

You are 2 very beautiful women,no doubt about that and I believe that both of you will continue to put up great work


Peter

[henderson80]

Later on,sometime today I will be posting here a list of Charms who I think that do not belong on this site.And should be thrown off

[henderson80]

Ok,I won't post it

[henderson80]

That sounds like a good idea.I'll work on that.Thank you for the idea

Some of us are not as creative as others. Sometimes we just need someone to let us know what they like and want to see. I am over 500 updates in and sometimes I can't think what to do in them or what to wear in them! I love going outdoors and shooting. Put me inside and I haven't the faintest idea what to do. But give me an area outside where I can get naked and not have to worry about getting arrested and I will play around and get naked and hug up on some trees and have a great time. Sometimes, even the thrill of just flashing in places that are VERY public get me going, so yeah....there is a lot of that stuff on my site.

But to say that we all are not creative is complete bullshit. But instead of starting off negatively, say what you want to see and have done. We are all open ears. I have fans email me all the time with suggestions. I take them and if they sound like something I want and am willing to do I will....I will tell you if it something out of my comfort zone and have even suggested charms that I know do the kind of stuff they are looking for.

Personally, WAM are not me. But I suggest charms that do it all the time on their sites.
