Four photos you need to have on your dating app
The most common mistake we see in dating app photos: men using photos that include their friends in the picture. How are we supposed to know which guy is looking for love?
Another interesting fact is that people don't like to use photos of their faces. We often hear comments like: ''I only have photos with my friends or co-workers,'' ''I don't like selfies,'' and ''I'm embarrassed to ask my friends to take a picture of me at the bar.”
We feel you! You want a photographer who knows what they're doing and can help you figure out precisely what will make you both shine and look natural.

Here are our best tips on how to choose great dating apps photos
Your profile picture is one of the first things people will see. So let’s make sure it makes the right impression. Read these tips to convey to your photographer exactly what you want to achieve!
A well-lit, classic headshot is the best option for your dating profile's main photo.
A full body shot in a favorite outfit is also important.
Photos giving a glimpse of your everyday life help reveal more of your personality.
A fourth "bonus photo" can be another headshot or full-body shot that shows you in a different setting.
Classics that never fail
Headshots: Dating apps give you a one-inch square for your profile picture. Our recommendation is to make the best use of that space with a headshot. Nowadays, most people think ''selfie'' when they hear the word ''headshot''. We advise ditching the selfie stick and using a professional photographer to get the perfect picture. Don’t be nervous! It is an opportunity to work with a photographer and get headshots you can use for some much, like profile pictures on other social networks, such as LinkedIn and Instagram, or on your CV.
Full body: Unfortunately, dating apps are full of people who steal photos and other people's data in order to create fake profiles (aka catfish). Having a current full body photo makes it a little more challenging for people to do this to your account. It is also a great way to show your style and feel more 🙌🏻.
The lifestyle shot: The third photo captures everyday life. The lifestyle photo should show you spending time doing a favorite pastime or activity, showing off what you love, maybe even traveling the world 🌎✈️.
Extra photo: Finally, the fourth photo. An opportunity to show some more personality! The image allows you to share another side of yourself. Maybe it's you in a casual outfit or in your favorite clothes. Or it can be a fun picture of you laughing. It's really all about showing the simple and true essence of who you are in real life and photos 🤍.
