Variation in taking selfies... Yea or Nay?

I've noticed a difference with many women in how they take selfies. Some are very creative and pose differently, using different angles, lighting, settings, clothing, in every selfie... while others do not. Keep in mind I use the word selfie to include whether she is holding the phone or not, since many people do prop their phone in the distance and set it to take pictures on a timer.

Example of selfie variation (Taylor Rochelle):

Versus little to no variation (Laura Stevenson):

So which do you guys prefer, variation or no variation? I think most of us can agree they are both attractive, but would you say that a little variation would enhance their attractiveness or not at all? Personally I feel like seeing a woman from the same angle and pose over and over gets a little old, even if it's a good angle for her.

Laura really knows her angles. Good for her

I like variation usually the same stuff becomes boring after a long time even if it's amazing the first time i see it.

Brynn Kurlan is another that basically takes the same photo if its a selfie. Idk i guess know your bread and butter but i often see mid-level influencers crying about engagement and they don't do anything worthy of attention because it's the same

like all of Laura's could literalyl be on the same day and she just posts them at different dates.

I like some variation - I only prefer the "same pose always" only when they're prepping for a competition. It is a treat to watch the woman get slightly more muscular and defined each passing day...

You guys getting to grow up with Taylor and Vlada are the luckiest fuckers of all time. Of all time!

I vote for the variations. Without the phone. That prop ruins the effect.

Laura is attractive, but I don't think I have Favorited any of her shots.

Whereas, Taylor's variations have led me to Favorite many of her pictures.

So, yes, variations are much more powerful for me. And the phone doesn't really matter.

Variations but I get why they don't. If you yourself are taking a selfie (even if you barely ever do it), you're probably going into a habit of taking it a certain way that you think looks the best. It's just natural, even if others prefer variation.

Jeanie Welker is another one lacking variation. Not quite as lacking as Laura from the original post (Jeanie has about 3 or 4 angles/poses in all), but definitely stagnant in the creative department.

I'll count Ariel Rose as another one in the uncreative category.
