How does a guy take attractive photos of himself

[yellowrocket]

I'd like to post some pictures but short of just copying poses from another guys thread what general advice can you give a guy who looks good, but isn't built or isn't overly hung.

Take a suit picture. Most women appreciate that. Take a picture of your smile, black and white by the window, or dress up like my little pony (not the last one). Just make it genuine, you don't need to pose, or make it fun.

I agree with Iceprincess! Suit Porn rocks!!
I prefer the tease.
Rocking out with yer cawk out bores me to tears.
But alot of others will disagree

There's nothing wrong with copying poses or using them to start with. Bed shots are good, with a sheet to hide your valuables.

 

[yellowrocket]

Thanks for the advice. I'll try to start shooting tomorrow.

No Clue. I Tried For Awhile And Eventually gave Up On It

It depends on the guy's attitude, what his purpose is for posting pics, and how much effort goes into the thread. If the guy is not in a good place emotionally, posting pics of himself may not be the best thing to do. And sometimes viewers aren't around to comment because they're busy IRL.

For starters, I'd say that you have to be attractive to begin with, or it's pretty much a losing battle.
Well, that's what I have found anyway, lol.

Attractiveness is subjective. Hard bodies are nice but the picture thread I love the most doesn't feature abs of steel or a glistening tan. I enjoy a personality in a pic thread more than body style. I do like less cock in your face pics though. Keep some mystery when it comes to that.

Point and click take pics because you want to and capture what makes you feel good.
Like others said...don't give it all up at once. Personally...I love jean pics...and like the ladies said...A suit...unf.
Take a video and screen shot what catches your eye...

And let's get real. ..I use light to help me out loads
It's your thread...if it makes you feel good then you're doing it right.

I love guy threads. ...I wish there were more.
My only pet peeve. ..and this is just my cheap opinion....When any thread starts asking and pouting for validation....it's a turn off.

If you shoot it...and own it...they will come...perhaps literally

I like the video idea and using screen shoots to make the thread. Thanks.

Google male model photos and take some notes on how they sit, stand or lay on the bed. Might not be your thing looking at men but it helps with ideas.

I agree with the other ladies about suits and jeans.

Also, who are you? What do you do for fun? Play sports, guitar, fish, hunt, draw, read..........show us that kind of thing.

Relax and have fun with it!

 

[Iceprincess12]

Did you ever post any?

 

[yellowrocket]

I should be able to tomorrow. Didn't like the ones i took today.

You don't have to built or hung to have sexy pictures. You don't even have to be nude. Being suggestive, posing confidently (don't be afraid to fake the confidence, the camera doesn't know the difference), dressing nicely. I think what happens a lot is a man will just post shots of the package and that gets dull to the ladies. Once you're comfortable and feel like indulging some of the requests you'll get to show some more, lighting and angles can your best friend, or your worst enemy. But know that if someone asks to see, they're going to like what they get. There's a really long post as to why that is...

Good luck, venture forth boldly and be rewarded.

Post when you do, I am curious.

Q has good advice, mana from the gods, haha!

 

[DarkrSide]

They say "confidence is sexy". You could try to convince yourself that. Hasn't worked for me but hey... more power to you.

 

[klippert]

first don't use your frigging phone... That said. if that's the only camera you own. Then its the best one you have at the moment.

1. if you use a mirror...espeically a bathroom mirror..wash the mirror
2. make sure the room is straightened up...pet peve
3. I feel this is very important. buy a tri-pod. there a loads of small and even Phone pods.
4. use the selfie stick...
   You don't have to start with a cock pic...hehe

If you have good point and shoot camera. or and slr. learn the functions...google is great for this...

Good luck

FYI, all of my pics have been with my phone using a timer app. I suspect the same for the majority of us on AmPics.

My tips for male pics/male threads:

1. Show us a bit of a reveal - tease us. Unbuckling your belt, pulling off your tie - make us want to see more of you.
2. Don't beg for comments and, for fuck's sake, don't PM other women posters asking them to comment on your thread. Desperation is a turn off.
3. Know that men outnumber women on this site at likely 50:1, if not more. Be patient, be courteous, and don't give up easily.
4. Don't underestimate the sexiness of a hand, or your neck. We don't need to see a giant dick or six pack abs to be turned on by the male figure.

Good luck!

Really, 50:1? Maybe so. The gals must get bombarded with tons of PMs.

 

[Iceprincess12]

Don't think he ever posted

Aw, you sound disappointed?

People actually PM other people for views? Wow.

P.S. Just give it a shot yellowrocket. If you take good pics you will have fans. They don't need to be professional quality done by a famous photographer. Just get creative and have fun with it.

I have no idea. Wild guess. But yes, we get bombarded.

Yep - it's happened maybe 2 or 3 times to me. It's basically pathetic.

Ya, I kind of figured that one a while back. Pretty much quit sending PMs (felt like one of many trying to get a response).
