Dating Photography: Why Hire a Professional

Finding love online can be a little daunting… especially when you are scrolling through blurry and poorly lit images on dating websites and apps. Are you wondering how to make your dating profile stand out and maximise your chance of getting a date? Then let’s talk about why you should hire a professional to take your dating photography images!

Why you should hire a professional photographer for your dating profile images:

High Quality

No more blurry webcam photos, selfies taken with a shaky hand or cut outs from a family album! Poor quality of the photos you put out to represent yourself on a dating website will take away from how beautifully you look in them! Let’s say you wanted to post a photo of you wearing a gorgeous gown, but the first thing people will notice is how out of focus the photo is.

On the other hand, when you’re hiring a professional photographer your getting professional service and most importantly, professional quality. With great lighting, beautiful backgrounds, clear and in-focus images you will show yourself in the best light possible.

PRO advice on what clothes look good in dating photography images

You don’t hire a photographer to just click the camera button, you are also getting an expert to advise you on what clothes look great in dating photos and which outfit choices you should avoid.

Chances are you probably noticed before that some outfits: regardless of how chic they look in the mirror, there’s something off when posing for a photo. Can you relate?

PRO advice on more flattering poses

Are you that person who usually pulls a nervous cheesy ‘peace sign’ pose every time when your friend is taking your photo? “But I’m not a model and I don’t know how to pose,” you might be thinking.

Let me tell you a secret. Have a look into fashion and lifestyle magazines… Yes, you can pose like that too! All you need is a little bit of confidence and an experienced photographer to guide you though the most flattering poses! It’s simple.

Remember, your job is not to be a model who knows how to pose; it’s my job as a photographer to make you look and feel like one in the photos.

Help to feel more natural candid in your dating photos

Let’s be real, it’s not easy to act natural when camera is pointed at you, capturing your every move. Imagine having someone on the set telling you funny stories and making you laugh! Photographers have lots of stories to tell 😉 It’s priceless when it comes to posing for candid photos.

At the end of the day, a photoshoot is a team effort. By no means it’s you on your own, trying to come up with poses and “acting natural”. A photographer is your friend, who also wants you to look your best in every image. So, trust your photographer’s vision, listen to feedback and be open to ideas. Great images are always a results of team effort.

If this is how you want to be photographed for your dating profile – authentic and real – a professional photographer knows how to stage “real” emotions and candid moments.

Did you know that by getting a professional take your dating photos, you can also get some great portraits of yourself that you can share with your family (your mum would love to see how you look, why don’t you send her your new photo!)
