I’m going to just cut to the chase & tell you professional photos that are done by a competent photographer can get you more matches. I’ve personally never seen a case where it didn’t help improve this. There’s no getting around the simple fact that portraying yourself in a better way is going to make you more universally attractive. This simple truth is the whole reason I started doing this for a living. When I started taking the photography aspect of my dating apps more seriously, the amount of my matches didn’t slightly improve, they exploded. With my help, yours can too.
How do I know if I need a professional photographer?
Let’s look at some situations where a professional photographer is an ideal choice. Maybe all of these will apply to you, maybe none of them do. You’ll find that regardless of how many points on this list applies to you, if even only one, a photographer can help. These aren’t really listed in any order of importance, save for the very last one.
Your personal talents aren’t in visual arts: Maybe your skill lies in musicianship, building things, cooking, or a skill that doesn’t involve photography like painting… or maybe you’ve yet to find your personal brand of creativity. I believe we all have at least one, but there’s a lot of technical things to know in photography. Your time may be better spent sharpening your skills in your original talents & leave the pics to the photographers.
You don’t have the right equipment: Truthfully, the very latest cell phones are good enough to take serviceable photos. But serviceable isn’t the key to getting better photos & more matches. In the right hands, professional cameras take amazing photos. It’s like comparing a frozen store bought cheese pizza to a freshly made piping hot supreme pizza loaded with fresh flavorful toppings from an authentic brick oven pizzeria. The major difference is what makes & breaks photos is one simple thing: LIGHT. Phones mimic light with computation. They simply don’t have the sensor size, lens quality or flash capability of a professional camera. Another major contributing factor is file size. RAW files in professional cameras hold so much data the editing possibilities are far beyond that of a cell phone camera & post edit JPEGS will be sharper. But there’s more than just taking photos to have great tinder photos: Thanks to all of the above, images from pro cameras will stand up to compression better when uploaded to tinder / IG / FB etc. Compression on these platforms is notorious for ruining photo quality of cell phone pics. Cameras crush cell phones in both harsh light / low light situations as well. Fill flash on a cell phone? Nope.
You don’t know where to go: Maybe you’re visiting a new city on vacation or for business. I highly recommend you take advantage of this by getting yourself some photos during your travels (This is a must do if you’re visiting my city of Las Vegas or any other popular city for tourism). Photos that show a variety of locations away from your home city are a great way to add some social value. Or maybe you just moved to a new city & don’t really know ideal locations for photos. You can save yourself quite a bit of time & guesswork by contacting a photographer.
You don’t have anyone to take pictures for you: Whatever the reason, sometimes we find ourselves in a situation where we’re going it alone. Or maybe you’re just not interested in other people knowing you want photos for dating apps. Just trying to rely on selfies? Selfies communicate loneliness, low social value & lack of friends. Selfie modes are grainy low light quality & use “fisheye” simulation in order to capture a wide angle. That very same wide angle will warp your facial features, not unlike the old circus funhouse mirror. Does it make sense to use this type of photo to attract someone?
You’re not getting matches: Unfortunately if you’re not getting matches a lot of the above might apply to you. The best reason to hire a photographer is if you’re not getting any matches or results. Professional photos are the closest thing to a magic pill I’ve found for getting more matches. I really want to take this time to drive home to you that professional photos DO make a difference. Maybe you’re in your feelings & don’t believe it to be true. Maybe you don’t want to bother because you don’t think it’ll help get better results. But if what you are doing now isn’t working, what harm is there in trying a different approach? This is a harsh truth, but I see a correlation between guys online saying things like “I guess I’m just destined to be alone” and the photos they use are grim dark selfies that are unattractive & threatening looking. There’s a lack of awareness with a lot of guys when it comes to what they do wrong & their lack of results. The fundamental issues of using bad photos is what needs to be fixed. Just an FYI for any skeptics, the homepage of my site, https://flashqbe.com/ is where you can see how my matches did after upgrading my photo quality.
Okay, but what about the cost?
Maybe you’re aware of the effectiveness of hiring a photographer, but believe it’s cost prohibitive to pay for someone to take your pictures. Although what a photographer charges may seem pricey, here’s the thing: You get photos better than you can take yourself, that you can use on any social media platform for any personal reason. A professional DSLR or mirrorless camera, along with the equipment will be in the $2,000.00 to $6000.00 cost range (upcoming models are rumored to be in the $8,000.00 range). Think of when you rent something like a carpet cleaner: You pay to rent the equipment for much cheaper than it costs to buy, but you’re also stuck doing the labor of cleaning the carpet & cleaning the machine before you return it. Hiring a photographer is like this, except you don’t have any equipment to be responsible for, nor do you have to do any of the work. It actually is very cost effective to hire a professional photographer.
