Dating Profile Photographer FAQs

Here are my answers to some frequently asked questions about online dating photographers!

‍

1. Should I hire a photographer for my dating profile?

If you even think you might need better photos, the answer is yes, you should hire a professional photographer immediately.

A pro photographer will help you look good and stand out, so you start getting the matches you deserve.

Many of my clients see a 2-10x improvement immediately after getting new photos, and otherwise cleaning up their online dating profiles.

‍

2. Do I need to work with a photographer who specializes in online dating?

No, it's not necessary to work with a photographer who exclusively focuses on taking photos for apps like Bumble and Hinge.

Any great lifestyle or portrait photographer can probably get the right photos for you.

You just probably want to avoid wedding photographers, or photographers who specialize in commercial shoots, because they're expensive.

‍

3. How much do professional dating photos cost?

Prices for good online dating photos can vary dramatically, but typically good photos dating apps will cost you between $400 and $1,500.

Absolutely shop around, but I'd advise against penny pinching.

Mediocre photos won't actually improve your matches, and as the saying goes, "buy it nice, or buy it twice."

‍

4. Are professional photos worth it for online dating?

Assuming you hire the right photographer and get good photos, it's 100% worth it.

Many of my clients get 2-10x more (and better) matches overnight after they've gotten pro photos, and improved their dating app profiles.

On that note, if you're interested in personalized advice on your online dating profiles, check out my Dating Masterclass. It includes a 1x1 profile makeover.

5. How can I find an online dating photographer near me?

Check out my recommendations above, or search on Google.

This list isn't comprehensive, in the sense that there are absolutely great online dating photographers I've not connected with, so if you work with someone great, please email me!
