Yo guys,
Before you read this make sure you read JSmooth's post "Pictures say 1,000 words, but which words?" because he covers all the great basics of what I call "Lifestyle Attraction Photos." He also specifically talks about taking social-proof photos with women.
Here's an excerpt from his post...
you should have photos of you and women hugging on each other and that sort of thing.I've seen a million articles written about how important it is to get photos with attractive women, and it's 100% true. However, there's right and wrong way to do it.
So if you really want to take photos with women that raise your value, here are a few tips...
--> Try your best to be the primary focus of the photo... It does no good to get in a picture with a group of girls if you're the one on the end leaning in. Let's pick on Tripp for a second and show you an example of how it's possible to be in a photo with a hot girl but not necessarily raise your value...
Now, I'm not saying Tripp has low value because of this photo...for all I know he is probably banging the hottie in the middle... but this photo doesn't communicate that. Remember, every photo tells a story.
On the flip side, here's an example that will definitely raise your value...
Here are the rules I teach my guys:
If it's just you and 1 girl, you MUST be the primary focus.
If it's you and 2 or more girls, you MUST be the primary or at least the secondary focus.
If it's a group photo where there is another guy in the photo as well, then you MUST have equal or higher importance (focus)...
In other words...
How do I be the primary focus???-Don't lean INTO her. Instead, pull her INTO YOU. The best way to do this is drape your arm around her neck so you can pull it towards you.
-Tell her to kiss you on the cheek.
-For photos with 3 or more people, be IN THE MIDDLE, not on the edge.
This is a really sloppy post but you guys should get the point. Basically, your body language in the photo will tell the story.

BONUS TIP: How to take a high-value photo with celebrities (or anyone you KNOW is higher value than you).Believe it or not, it IS possible to take a photo with a celebrity where your value appears equal to theirs. Here are two examples of me....one on how NOT to do it and one on how to CORRECTLY do it.
First is a photo of me with the infamous Mystery.
I look like a total tool in this photo. When you take a photo with someone who you KNOW is higher value you MUST avoid making the infamous "star-struck face"...you know...the one that says "Look at me! I'm in a photo with a celebrity." Basically, you have to avoid making that shit-eating grin that I make. I couldn't help it in this one...I mean come on...I was partying with fkin Mystery!
Now here's an example where I did it right.
Actually, this chick was cool. It's that actress Amy Smart in case you don't know who the hell she is. I was negging her right before this pic so she messed up my hair. But the key here is I have my arm draped around her neck and I'm actually looking off to the side as if I was distracted by something off-camera. This is a fantastic trick that will ALWAYS help raise your value because it communicates the exact opposite of the "star-struck" face. It makes the photo look more candid and less like a "once in a lifetime celebrity photo opportunity".
