Taking photos ~ Posting photos...

[stogie bear]

Back in the day ladyboys were lining up to have their photos taken. They'd preen and pout and do all kinds of naughty things...

...then along came the internet!

But even then it took a few years for the demon internet to stop them posing and pouting! We could happily click away and have memories for a lifetime.

But it's possible now that the girls are wising up to the impact that having their pics on the internet will have. More and more we hear "No photos" or "Not post on internet"

It's harder to find the best looking models and they are demanding higher and higher prices. We've removed galleries because the girls are suddenly overcome with remorse because either a boyfriend will be jealous, or they are getting out of the game or they simply don't need the exposure anymore.

Whereas at one time you could bring out the camera and simply fire away - now the reaction is different.

We feel like we have to ask and we feel also that we have to tell them that we are gonna post them so they can back out of the deal.

Is there a time soon where it will be next to impossible to get new and cute ladyboy pictures on to the internet?

Have any of you noticed any changes in the general attitudes of girls when you ask if you can take a picture or two?

(Thank heavens we have 5 years of freelance content here... I have a feeling that soon this stuff will be much harder to come by...)

I didnt take any naked ones of the Guess bar girls & didnt ask to either, as it is a bar I may use again (feck of Seamus, you lived in their last trip) I dont think you need naked shots anyhow, ok good for the poor guys who will never get out to LOS & see these girls for themselves, or for a good
All the girls I asked for a piccy said yes, the unmentioned girl from Guess bar, I didnt even ask as I knew she had a BF .

I used to take some nudie shots and posted a few here and there but now I just take holiday snaps for the memories/personal use.

I'm getting boring in my old age (also, I already have loads of photos of a certain LB who I spend most/all of my time in LOS with )

I did receive requests last year from about 50% of girls I snapped not to post nude shots on internet - they do definitely find out that thier pics have made it to this forum. A few girls in La Bamba commented on the fact that I had posted their pics previously - luckily, none of them were pissed and enjoyed the exposure ... phew!!!

AT the same time, you have girls realizing that the Internet is free publicity for them - and they start posting their own pics or asking other to do it for them to increase their popularity.

In short, they do realize what the Internet is now -- some of em like it, and some of em don't

ive found a few baht works wonders

Perhaps a different way to ask the question is:

Are LB's more Internet conscious now?

The answer is Yes. Many use the internet to email Boyfriend's/Sponsors but more and more are "Browsing" the web sites and are becoming more aware of the "Openness" of the Internet.

I often see 3 or 4 different LB's, in an Internet cafe, on any one evening. The majority do not register/post on the Forums but they do view what is on them - many cannot read English but a photo needs no translation.

Most do not seem to object to candid shots in bars etc, if there is no nudity, but even then, if they have a sponsor/boyfriend, they may decline.

Some also seem to think that "guys" get paid for posting photos - some seem confused as to photos on the Forums and those posted on "Pay 4 View" sites. Most LB's in Pattaya have probably done a photo shoot, for which they were paid, so perhaps the 'shyness' is related to the reward!

IMHO I think it always best to ask - common courtesy - and then be selective what you choose to post. If you tell them, what the photos are for, they will more than likely tell you if they object or not.

Many have no objection to 'full on' photos but as they are becoming more aware of the Internet they are becoming more coy!

I was in Pattaya a few weeks ago and when two well known LBs came back to my room, they made a point of saying they would only allow fully clothed pix on the internet. I hadn't even raised the subject. It was just that they noticed the camera lying around. In 99% of cases I don't bother taking pictures anyway; it just doesn't cross my mind.

During the session I was getting it on with one of them and the other one picked up the camera and took a whole series of very close up XXX pix of the action. She said herself that she got really turned on by it, enough for her to put the camera down and re-enter the fray for an enthusiastic second round. But again, afterwards, they made me promise to keep them to myself and not to post them.

No problem, no argument. Fair enough. But I did point out to one of them that she has done some outrageous photo shoots that can still be seen on Asian TS, one of them a no holds barred threesome with two other LBs. She said she knew that, but she isn't happy about it now.

I'm sure she would get in touch and ask for them to be taken down, but she probably doesn't realise she can do that. And I certainly wasn't going to be the one to tell her.

I doubt whether they'd be willing to pay for the shoot, either.

I agree they are generally much more aware of the internet, and how far reaching it can be.

From my own perspective, I haven't noticed much of a change when I request to take photos.

Ocassionally an individual may decline, but usually there are valid reasons such as a boyfriend/sponsor finding out what they are really up to.

I still get plenty of ladyboys enquiring about modelling for LB-69, so I don't believe there are less ladyboys wanting to model.

What I do find amusing is when they refuse to appear in a candid photo despite already being plastered on every major ladyboy paysite shooting their load.

I think one big reason for this trend is also that Internet is now full of LB pics that are just nude snappyshots. When the models browse various sites and compare pics as an example with the pics recently taken of Areeya for her website it's really no wonder that they start to hesitate. It would be interesting to know how many would turn down a suggestion if there would be pro makeup and hair, a nice dress and a set that is something else than a 1000-baht hotel room?

I never forget the feedback that I got from one model who had been working with probably hudreds of photographers: "I like your work, you make girls look pretty". That's the whole point, the girl should look pretty.

I think that a new LB on the scene welcomes a few photos showing up one the internet, can only be good for business.

But also I know that there comes a time when the more experiencd ones get fed up with the exposure wether by photos or detailed trip report.

As was posted earlier they are getting very savvy about what is said and by whom on the internet owing to the fact that it is so much easier for them to access the relevant sites .


Lets not push our luck and let the naked ones come from the pro shoots

Monkeyman did a good job despite this right up till the end;  galleries of Kwang and May from Pattaya prove this, as well as ultra-hot Ching from Casanova.  Some girls know it helps their popularity, some shy away so as not to be on the internet; unlike say 2002 or 2003 when most had no idea their photos would be displayed for the world, some are getting it now that their parents or brothers or friends in Uni may see them and so they demand people don't do it anymore.  So I guess the days of walking into Obsessions and having 20+ girls make the universal sign of "take my photo" with fake camera held to face are over?

         The very last job in the world I would want right now is ladyboy photographer.

Same here .

Most ladyboys love to get their picture taken , some insist on it , I think the problem arises at what type of pics you take and what you chose to post .

Im not knocking anyone here but Im sure many have learnt the hard way about posting hardcore pics , be it via jealous boyfriends , the girl herself or one of her friends , or some idiot on a forum who is not mature enough and feels it is his civic duty to tell a girl about pics .

Only last week I had a girl phone me to tell me she had read a comment I had written on this forum about her , some guy had taken the trouble to email her and provide a link to the topic discussed .
Not a problem , she actually liked what I said about her .

Lets face it not many people look too flattering pictured with someones cock in their mouth , so I can understand why some , not all get upset , its a chance the poster has gotta weigh up when they post pics .

I,ve quite a collection of sexy pics and a few videos built up now , but I prefere to keep them for the cold winters nights

There are definitely a few now that wont have photo's posted as they know their sponsors are reading and will cut off the money.
