Photo 1: The Hook

Clear headshot or upper body. Well-lit face, friendly expression. This is your 1-second impression—make it count.

Photo 2: Full Body

Show your physique honestly. Standing photos in casual settings work best. This builds trust by showing the real you.

Photo 3-4: Lifestyle & Interests

Activity shots that show your personality. Travel, hobbies, sports—whatever defines you. These create conversation starters.

Photo 5-6: Social Proof

Photos with friends (where you're clearly the main focus) or at events. Shows you have a life and social connections.
