It does happen but for two to happen close to one another I would suspect it has something to do with pix.

Some guys want the exact these are called perfectionists.

What about until you get some new professional ones doing some on your phone? It will be better than misleading ones?
Also some clients are idiot look, see, go ones.

Do you still have the originals? If you explain the problem, would the person who did the photo shopping not be prepared to redo them so they're flattering, but not unrealistically so?

Walkers are the worst and they really do your head in. 2 in a short space of time, I personally find worrying. IMHO, I would think that it has got to do with your pictures. It's good that you can be honest and state that they make you look better than in real life. I agree with sourgrapes in that it'd be a good idea to get them re-edited to be more accurate.

Always under-promise and over-deliver

Hi girls,

So I have some fantastic photos that are retouched and make me look better than I am in real life. However the photos are me, they arent overly photoshopped  but they are shopped. Recently I have had 2 clients get to the front door and then tell me they had changed their mind

This is making my self esteem very low, I wondered if this was normal. I am going to get some different photos taken and put up. But does this just happen to me or does it happen to others too?

I would recommend that you use photos that look as much like you as possible. I used to have studio shots and I had this problem. I now have regular snapshots and the response has been very positive.

I did have a walk-out two days ago, the guy said I was "too tall." Since my profile has my height on it and my photos are recent/unshopped, I didn't feel paranoid or anything - just annoyed with the guy for wasting my time. I took some satisfaction in known that he'd had to pay for parking and driven in especially to see me, so it wasn't just my time wasted. 

I've only ever had two walk-outs, one was because I had the wrong football team on my wall  , and one was just the other
day, it was a strange one..
It was the old "forgot my wallet", but this guy had been texting me half the day, even sent me a video when he was on the
motorway on his way, came in and couldn't get his hands off me from the moment he walked in.
He'd asked beforehand if he could use the shower coz he came straight from doing a job at his grans caravan or something, I
said that wouldn't be a problem, he asked would I join him, I said I'd just had one, all this being relevant coz I think he maybe
tried to get me in the shower with him and THEN do the "forgot the wallet" act..
But since I wasn't going in that shower his plan (if that's what it was) fell to pieces, so he went down to his van to look for it etc,
even text me he was on his way back to where he last used it blah blah..
I was pretty pissed off as I'd turned down another client for him coz he'd booked for an hour.

It doesn't make you feel good at all, and it happening twice in a row must've made you feel like shit..
Like other posters said, get your photo's re-done, or maybe it was just a fluke and see how you get on with them??
Good luck either way, hope it doesn't happen again coz it is a shit feeling..
