the high glamour look is pretty but introduces artificiality which does not convert so well.
if the model is at least average looking with a good physique and good complexion she will convert almost 90% of the supermodel look at about 25% of the model fee.
better ROI.

Very good points. Most amateur shots, the samples CheeseFrog has are not amateur models they are posing like professionals and do not carry the enthusiasm I would imagine an amateur model would have. Surfers looking for amateur models want to see something else. IMO. As for glamour not converting, it converts very well, if the site has the content. Twistys, Herge, DDF, Hicks all do well and all can shoot glamour. Problem is again when the photographer can't produce the content.
