We could use some honest advice on the quality of our pictures. Is it the photography? Or, can the lighting and posing be made better.
We are always looking to improve. Here’s one of the images. For a larger pic go to

Thanks in advance.
I’m being serious here.
For serious comments respond to
Oh, where to start? The others have mentioned the lighting issues and the fact that the model is posed looking like she needs a dose of Ex-Lax– um, perhaps models who had a better plastic surgeon?
Here’s your main problem. You have no idea who your customer is. Get a clue. Men don’t ordinarily buy women’s swimwear, women do. Those photos are offputting to most women in so many ways it isn’t funny.
–A woman would know that those are quite possibly some of the least-realistic
looking implants ever– They should be on that "plastic surgery gone wrong" site. Some men might appreciate that canteloupes glued to the chest look, but
any woman who has normal sized or shaped breasts and is looking to buy a awimsuit that might actually fit and look attractive on HER is going to pass you by without stopping.
–Get their roots done, at least.
–Three of the 4 girls look like strippers. Would your sister, wife, whatever
take fashion advice from a stripper? And none of them look like they’re having
a very good time. Yeah, I want to take clothing suggestions from a depressed pole dancer.
–The girl in 6_03_09 at least is smiling and not skanky-looking, but what is up
with the locations? I don’t know where you are, but the support wires for the
palm trees and the trash cans have got to go.
Get rid of the hooker shoes, too!
There are plenty of cute BEACHY (not bitchy) sandals that would be more appropriate.
These pictures are a trainwreck. They are not selling swimwear. If you are, you need a better photographer. Try hiring a female photographer who can put the models at ease and sees swimwear and models with a female sensibility.
If you’re selling porn to adolescent boys, they’re probably OK. Adolescent boys won’t notice anything other than the T&A anyway.
Take a look at these photos

attention paid to hair, the hands look graceful, not grabbing, no boobs falling out of
the bottom of the cups, the look is sexy, not slutty.
