Hi folks,

I'm thinking about becoming an escort and the agency I like the look of has asked me to send them some pics. I'm going to sound a little naive but what sort of pics are they after? fully clothed? me in my underwear? my face?

Also is the quality of the agency's website a good indication of the quality of the agency itself?


Cheers,
Dee

I think lingerie shots are standard. You can also send some in evening wear, fetish wear, or topless. It depends on what impression you and the agency want to give. They don't need to show your face, and you shouldn't put it online unless you're sure you're ok with the consequences. Once you have face pictures online they'll never truly go away.

A good website is something to look for, but a professional-looking one can be put together very cheaply using a template so you still need to be careful. Punterlink.co.uk lists agencies and will remove any that it hears are involved in dodgy business, so seeing if yours is listed there is a start. Search for the agency's name in google and on punting boards to see if anything's been said about it.

I just thought I should mention that I don't have much experience dealing with agencies myself. What I posted was mostly what I've gathered from various bits of the scene.

They will usually say. If they haven't, clothed along with a disguised face one (think mask / dark glasses) should be fine. Consider 'watermarking' them to ensure they can't be used without your permission.

What sort of pictures do they have on the site? What can you find out about them online? (Particularly, how easy are they to find?) Where do they advertise? What do reviews about their staff say?

Think very, very carefully before allowing your face (or any personal tattoos etc) to be seen with anything connected with escorting - once you do, it will be out there forever.

What you ideally want to do is to talk to some of the people already working for them.

Oh, and if the owners even hint at a freebie 'test', it's time to strike them off the list.

also just a quicky dont pay any money upfront
a good agency wont ask for any money until you start working and then they take the fee

Hi,  the agency gets a photographer to advertise me on their site and they say it's free. they also don't ask for any money up front and it's listed o punternet so it's looking good so far. I think the photos they want are just to see what I look like and see if i'm the type of girl they want working for them.  Great advice about the tattoos tho. I'll be sure to cover them up!

Hi, I'm completely new to this whole escort thing. I'm trying to make some headway into the industry but am unsure of what agencies to approach. Can I ask Dee81 what agency she's used? Feel free to reply to me email if it's a problem to write it on the forum misssjohnson@hotmail.co.uk. If anyone can recommend any agency for a first timer I'd be so grateful!!!

Thanks

I'm not going to recommend anywhere, but saying a little bit more about yourself (like roughly where you are!) would help those who might...

Of course details like that would really help  ??? . I'm in London, south London, but can nip all over, outcall only for now. I don?t know if these details matter but I'm 23  and pretty outgoing...

Don?t worry if people feel uncomfortable recommending places, I'm just trying to get a heads up on where's good to approach.

Thanksxx
