Professional Photoshoot
Pays off if you also have casual photos. By itself it looks staged.
A professional photoshoot for dating profiles produces consistent quality. The risk is using only professional photos — which makes the profile look staged and triggers viewer skepticism. Mix one or two professional shots with phone-camera candids for the best result.
When it works
- ✓Mixed in with non-professional shots
- ✓Photographer specifically trained on dating profile photos
- ✓Outdoor/environmental, not studio backdrop
When it fails
- ✗All six photos are professionally shot
- ✗Studio backdrop with white seamless paper
- ✗Stiff, posed expressions
Do this
- →1-2 professional shots, 4-5 candid/casual
- →Hire a photographer who's done dating profiles, not weddings or corporate
Avoid
- ×Whole-profile professional sets
- ×Studio-backdrop portraits
Best position
Position 1
Use this photo type at position 1 of your profile. Photos in the wrong slot underperform even when the photo itself is good.
