I gotta say  there is nothing more annoying than a New model or established model putting up a camera phone photo of themselves on this site or any other, It is unprofessional and makes you look like you are not taking this seriously . If you take this seriously make the effort and have a good crisp picture of yourself posted.
Now I fel so much better!

For some who just became interested that is all they have until a photographer does a shoot with them. I would much rather see a webcam/camphone image than no image at all. You at least get an idea of what they look like.From my experience, if a girl looks good in a cheesy webcam/camphone shot she will look even better when I work with her with my real camera equipment.

I find that the best models (the ones with great attitude who can
throw great shapes) all take self portraits. Forget 'quality' it's a great
learning tool. phonecam, webcam, mini dv, whatever. Just don't use
built in flash, and think about where the light is coming from....
Go for it.
