Best Type Of Pictures For Dating App

Friday, May 05, 2023 | By: Doug Burke Photography

In today's digital age, dating apps have become a popular platform for people to find love or companionship. However, with thousands of profiles to swipe through, it can be challenging to stand out from the crowd. One of the most effective ways to make a good first impression on a dating app is by having the right type of pictures on your profile. In this blog, we will discuss the best type of pictures for dating apps.

Firstly, it is essential to have a clear and high-quality profile picture. Your profile picture is the first thing potential matches will see, and it can make or break your chances of getting a match. Avoid using group photos, blurry images, or low-resolution pictures. Instead, choose a clear, well-lit photo that shows your face and personality.

It is also recommended to have a variety of pictures on your dating profile. This can include photos of you doing your favorite hobbies or activities, traveling, or spending time with friends and family. These types of pictures give potential matches a glimpse into your life and personality, which can make you more appealing.

Another essential factor to consider is the composition of your photos. It is best to choose pictures that show you in a positive light and highlight your best features. Avoid choosing photos that are too provocative or revealing, as this may give off the wrong impression. Instead, opt for pictures that are natural and genuine, as this will make you more approachable.

One common mistake that people make on dating apps is using old photos. While you may have looked great in a photo from a few years ago, it is important to choose pictures that accurately represent your current appearance. Using outdated photos can be misleading and may lead to disappointment or awkward situations when you meet in person.

It is important to choose photos that match the tone of the dating app you are using. For example, if you are using a more casual app, such as Tinder, you may want to choose more relaxed and fun photos. On the other hand, if you are using a more serious dating app, such as Match.com, you may want to choose more professional and polished photos.

The best type of pictures for dating apps are clear, high-quality, and genuine. Having a variety of photos that showcase your personality and interests can make you more appealing to potential matches. It is also important to choose photos that accurately represent your current appearance and match the tone of the dating app you are using. By following these tips, you can increase your chances of making a good first impression and finding the perfect match on a dating app.

  • We strongly prefer to see a combination of half, three-quarter, and full length (avoiding headshots and closeups) and mainly standing photos only (a few sitting photos are welcomed but around 90% should be standing)***
  • The composite of the photograph is so important – therefore, we request that the background is not overly distracting – we want the focal point of the photo to be on the client! That said, it is important to minimize any clutter and/or super busy backdrops.
  • We are looking to reveal the client's sophistication, warmth, and class yet we want to avoid looking stiff, serious or awkward and are seeking more natural, playful portraits.
  • Along those same lines, we want to avoid the client looking statuesque, so we encourage relaxed shoulders and active hand placement of some kind, etc. – basically, anything to avoid stiff hands by the sides. However, please note that we tend to discourage crossed arms.
  • We want to see the client looking date savvy, youthful, warm, inviting, and so on and so forth…
  • The client should be showcasing a warm smile and overall approachable vibe.
