Definitely amateur.

The whole 'Waiting-for-my-next-paycheck' facial expression on most (most, not all, of course) pro models is a real turn-off IMO. The insipidly fake smile or 'come fuck me' look - forget it.

I like models with the approachable girl-next-door look. Someone you can identify with a little easier. Perhaps bump into them at the local grocery store or hockey arena. A minor flaw or two is also a good reality check.

A lot of photographers tend to think that shooting pro/glamour models is the epitome of good photography - the whole "She's gorgeous...therefore so are my photos" mentality. To me, a great photograph captures the subtle nuances and essence of a person. Some of the better and more erotic shots we've taken over the years are those shot after the model has stopped posing and is just relaxing and being herself.

My of course...
