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.
