Dear John of Eleganza

The lines of the ladies are much more artful now tending to accentuate their attributes & character. This is where the main difference seems to be. It seems you're paying much more attention to the setting & lighting. I now truly enjoy looking at the work. But, don't give up your night job just yet to become a fashion photographer.....LOL
I have always said if John wanted to go straight he would make a very good photographer. I know what I paid for the kids graduation pictures and it was a lot more than the escorts I rented in Montreal! Of course you would probably want to be there when he is photographing your 18 y.o. daughter. He's too good of a recruiter....."What's that little Jessi? You say you want to earn some money so you can pay your way through college? Maybe I can help? Here, take my card...."
His pics have usually shown us the "real deal". He just does the pics with more talent now. If you look at most of the agency pics now, they either look half-assed or look "too professional", giving one the impression they're trying to hide something rather than show it. While John's pics never seem to hide much, he didn't seem to have any art in them until reletively recently.
I have not noticed any changes one way or the other. In the past, the only problem I have ever had with John's photography was not enough ass shots. When he had Emmanuelle at his agency in 2007, she had one of the best asses I have ever seen, but the photos did not really show it. However, his photos have always been very representative overall.

I like John's pictures for their simplicity and the WYSIWYG factor. He doesn't go crazy with outfits from sex shops, stockings, boots, high heel shoes, or showing girls in unnatural poses. In most of the pictures it's just a girl in her panties and it shows exactly what she will look like once she takes it off and jumps on your bed. There is certainly some value in that for many of us.
Love the way the pics are shot on Eleganza's site, it shows the ladies as what they are and what they are not, in other words they tell a very accurate story of what they really look like, in person. Raw is a good word to use to describe John's pics. Very well done indeed, not misleading at all.

Thanks for keeping it real, John. When I'm in a bad mood, I look at the lovely ladies on your website. I can only imagine how spectacular the ladies look in real life when they meet the Hobbyists. It's all good. I, for one, will likely be blown away by how beautiful these ladies are when I have to fortunate of meeting them in person.
John -- can I ask for a small favor. Can you identify on the website which ladies are nonsmokers. So, when I have the opportunity, I can pre-book them before I arrive in Montreal.

John, is it possible to show a small YouTube like video of the girls? To see how their bodies move and what the backside view looks like. Always trust your judgement on facial appearance, but all of us rate & view bodies from different perspectives.
This is a great idea!!
A former agency named "Sweet Dreams" once had small videoclips accompanying the pictures of their girls.
Absolutely agree! I find that amongst all agencies, the Eleganza pics are my favorite! Boy would I like to live in that basement too!
One small improvement that could be made JOhn-- this is not criticism, but just a tip-- is if you could get rid of the shadow behind most of the girls. This is easily accomplished by setting your flash a little differently (well explained on many internet sites). But even then, I prefer your shadow included pics to the usual "set up"/ photoshopped pics of other agencies.
If this is the Love In thread for John, I'll have to toss something in here... 
Hated the pix on John's site when I was just seeing the occasional lady. They lacked glam+gloss. BUT...
Once you're really into this gm, u start to realize all the distorted angles, dressup, porn mag poses and touch-ups many agencies use are smoke n mirrors (It's like looking at the cover on a frozen dinner box and comparin' it to what u get after pulling the defrosted nuked dish from the microwave) and u really start to appreciate the authenticity of Eleganza's pix.
Agree with every1 else before me... the fact u CAN see baby rolls, boniness, cottage cheese, blotchy redness on milky skin, the bra + waistband indentation on skin knowing the lady just peeled for the shoot in John's basement all of that is real and you know what to expect.
The best way to describe the style of John's photos... They're real and they're spectacular!

Furthermore, as an agency owner... I've gotta say John's a straightshooter + has my utmost respect!
...There's ur Love John!
...There's ur Love John!
Excellent analogy! It's also the same way at many low end Chinese restaurants which have a marquee sign with pictures of the various dishes, and when the dish arrives at your table it never looks as good! I have been head faked by this business practice especially in the New York City Chinatown.
Funny enough EagerBeaver, that's exactly why I don't see Chinese SPs anymore. haha
I'm serious!

I did a double take the 1st few times I was checking out the pix of your lady's... your place actually looked like it was in my building, next to me... now is that scary or just serendipitous!?
Personally, I'm sold on the Eleganza pose, your money shot: Side-view-Lady-standing-with-one-leg-curled-up-chest-out-butt-n-head-against-the-wall!
