The lighting and background for most photos is a giveaway. Usually a professional set will be done with a nice background either a set or a fancy home or suite rented for the job. On a dressed/undressed the giveaway is the background, if both are the same many times it is a pro set put together by some of us who are into that type genre. An amateur shot will have everyday items in the background, a water bottle on the bedstand, a bottle of hand cream, kids toys on the floor etc.

Lighting is another key. Most digital cameras for home use do not have a powerful flash. Outdoor photos are great with them but most indoor shots are dark. You can photoshop them "brighter" to mixed results. A pro on the other hand would have lights set up to avoid shadows and make the shot perfect.

If you have been surfing porn for as long as most senior members on here you can tell a pro from an am from a 180x180 thumbnail.
