Photo policy: the woman in the portrait is the woman at your door

What the stamp certifies

Three things, and only three. The companion named on a record is the woman in every photograph attached to it. She has approved each of those images for publication. And each still answers to her present appearance, so the guest who opens the door meets the woman he chose.

Why every face is softened

Every face in the portfolio is blurred, and deliberately so. The women listed here have careers, studies and families that have nothing to do with this work, and their anonymity is not a courtesy the house offers; it is the condition on which they agree to be listed at all.

A softened face costs a browser nothing and protects a woman entirely, so the point is settled. The house does not take requests for an unsoftened portrait, and nobody at the desk is able to grant one.

How the check is carried out

Before a record goes live, the house meets the companion in person and sets each image beside her: face, hair, height and build, one photograph at a time. Her identification is checked at the same meeting, which is also where her age is confirmed as 18 or over. An image that no longer matches, because of a new cut, a new colour or simply time passing, is withdrawn rather than explained away.

The photography published here

Glamour and lifestyle portraits, the kind produced for a lookbook or a resort shoot, taken in studios, gardens and interiors and by the coast. There is no nudity and nothing explicit, and no image is published without the companion approving it.

What happens to a file before it appears

The house trims each image slightly, resizes it so pages load quickly and makes small adjustments to colour and contrast. It also strips the hidden data a camera leaves inside a file, such as the date and the device, so nothing about where a picture was taken travels with it. The face is softened last of all. Apart from that softening, nothing done at this stage changes how she looks.

What these images are not for

No photograph on this site may be copied, saved, republished, forwarded or put through a reverse image search. Attempting to work out who a companion is from her portrait, or photographing, filming or recording her during a booking, ends that booking where it stands under the conduct clause in the terms, with the fee kept and no explanation owed.

What the house never does

It never publishes stock photography, and never shows one woman under another woman’s name. It never lets an image created by artificial intelligence stand in for a real companion. And it never keeps a portrait online once the companion has asked for it to come down.

If she does not match

Say so at the door. If the companion who arrives is not the woman in the portfolio, you may decline the booking there and then, and nothing is owed. A softened face is not a mismatch: hair, height, build and bearing are all there to be checked. Tell the house as well, because a mismatch is treated as a breach of this policy, not a misunderstanding.

Review dates

The full set is reviewed at least twice a year, and any single record sooner whenever a companion tells the house her appearance has changed. The date at the top of this page moves with each full review. Browse the portfolio, or see how evenings in Mayfair and on Park Lane are arranged once you have chosen.
