This is how to take better photos for your dating profile

Your dating profile is your chance to make a good first impression, and your photos are the most important part.

Here’s our fail-proof photo guidelines that will help you take better photos for your dating profile:

Use natural lighting

Natural lighting is the most flattering and will make your photos look more natural. Avoid using flash, which can make your photos look harsh and unflattering.

Choose a neutral background

The focus of your photo should be you, not the background. Choose a neutral background such as a plain wall or a natural setting that doesn't distract from you.

Dress to impress

Choose an outfit that makes you feel confident and comfortable.

Say Cheese

We don’t mean a cringey one, (well showing your fun side won’t hurt of course) but a genuine smile can go a long way in making you look approachable and friendly.

Show your personality

Don't be afraid to show off your personality in your photos. Include photos of you doing activities you love or with friends and family.

Avoid selfies

I know this can be a tricky one. While selfies can be convenient, they are sometimes not the most flattering type of photo. Ask a friend to help you out and take some authentic photos instead. Or, you can place your phone on a shelf, table or whatever is convenient and use a timer on your phone.

Well, there you have it. These are our current top tips to improve your photo game. Stay in the loop and look out for future dating profile tips here.
