How to Take a Sexy Profile Pic
Don’t:
- Take a selfie in the mirror
- Try too hard to look seductive
- Have clutter in the background
- Hide your face intentionally
- Use effects or modify the pic at all
Do:
- Fill the frame with you
- Be yourself
- Wear something that makes you feel sexy. If you feel sexy, you will radiate sex appeal.
- Put some sensual music on and have fun with it!
A few tips:
The more skin that’s exposed, the more horny customers you will attract. For example, some models do well with a profile pic of just their butt. I personally wouldn’t recommend this approach, since in my experience it leads to more beggars looking for freebies.

I recommend starting with a head shot, because it will generally attract a classier type of customer who is actually interested in getting to know you. Customers getting to know you leads to loyal fans, which leads to more money in your pocket in the long run.
Another solid option is to find a pose that works for you, and take the pic wearing something that reflects your model character – lingerie, leather, a costume, etc. Just keep your face in the pic to keep it personal and, again, attract the kind of customers who may take the time to get to know you.
Your best bet is to get some inspiration from the interwebs…

If you know someone good with both a camera and your new choice of career, get them to take some pics for you!
Otherwise, use your HD webcam and head over to Webcamtoy for a 3 second timer if you’re having trouble taking a pic of yourself. It’s totally free, and will give you time to grab the pose you want without having to hold onto a camera or click your mouse. Webcamtoy revolutionized my cam life, lol.
Pro tip: stick to the default mode for profile pics, but we can play around with effects when we get to social media (I’ll talk about that in a future post).
One thing to keep in mind…
When a customer clicks through a profile pic, he’s expecting to see that girl. If your profile pic is radical (yeah, I said radical lol), you’ll be most successful if you show up to work looking your best 
I’m here to help if you have any questions or comments about this at all. Leave a comment below or contact me directly. I would also be happy to provide a personal review of any profile pic attached to the contact form.
Happy camming!

I'm a 26 year old Canadian, musician, and camgirl. I quit my day job in July 2013 thanks to webcam modeling, and I created U Camgirl to share what I've learned along the way. I'm here to answer questions and help anyone interested in pursuing webcam work.
Hello Angie! I simply wanted to compliment you on your post here. You bring some really great Do’s and Dont’s and I believe this not only applies to people in your specific industry, but even when trying to attract people to any social media website and so forth. I remember back when Myspace had been introduced, the number of selfies taken through not only the mirror, but with the cell-phone right in their hand! These types of selfie’s are still seen all over the internet and I believe that this greatly diminishes the value of the picture, regardless of its ultimate intent. Anyway, thanks for your valuable information given your sweet profession
This may even help me when showing photo’s of myself in my own blog and website, despite the fact I am a male, I’ve taken some good professional information from your post.

Hey Peter,
You’re right, these tips can totally be applied to general social media pics as well, minus the sensual/sexy element haha. The web needs a little less cell phone selfies going on lol. So it’s good to hear you found this post helpful in that regard!
Thanks a lot for the compliment, and thanks for checking out the site. Cheers!
Angie
Great tips! I particularly like the one about wearing something that makes you feel sexy. When you feel you look good you always look better!
Thanks Christine! Absolutely, and it’s all about confidence. Reminds me of when I tried on my first padded pushup bra lol
Hi Angie,
Congratulations – You have presented an interesting and well written post
From a males perspective I wish to say that I fully agree with what you say about how one should present themselves in their profile picture. Yes, sensual is of course optimal. However, not to forsake class.
I expect in the Cam Girl industry, just as any other profession, you get back what you give out.
Great site Angie, I wish you all the best.
Blessings Be,
– Rich
Hi Rich,
Thanks so much for your encouraging comments. You are absolutely right – but I might even say more than any other profession, you totally get out of it what you put in. Class attracts class.
Cheers,
Angie
Interesting site, I like your information here.. I know you advise against it for a profile pic, but you should write another post on how to take a good butt-selfie lol! Check out my site and you’ll understand why I ask
Ha! Thanks Jolie for the interesting comment and post idea
I definitely have to check out your site now, lol. Perhaps you’d like to write a guest post on how to take a better butt selfie? Thanks again for checking out the site!
