Make this photo of you
OkCupid photos in Staten Island.
You, out in Staten Island, in light that does you justice. Made from a few selfies, ready in about 60 seconds, and one click from a short video.
Staten Island, late afternoon
Photo 1, clear and warm
Same shot, slow turn
Shooting it in Staten Island
The light
Northern light runs cool. Magnt matches that color, so the city behind you looks shot there, not pasted in.
The season
Ask for late spring or summer light. A warm photo stands out in a long gray season.
Why it stands out
Staten Island skies go gray for months at a time. A warm OkCupid photo is rare in that feed, which is why it gets noticed.
Staten Island prompt
Me for my OkCupid profile, out in Staten Island in late afternoon light, face clear and close, a real relaxed smile, the city soft behind me, natural skin texture.
Make it move
A 5 second slow turn, then a small smile at the camera.
Your city. Your light. Your photo.
Pick the place, add a few selfies, and get the shot. Then make it move.
