Three pages from the Dating Profile Photo Guide: posing tips, the cover, and the six-photo lineup

What's Inside · 18 Pages

Every client, every app

What Hinge, Bumble, Match, Tinder, Grindr and HER each reward, and how one session covers all your profiles.

Prep + what to wear

A little prep that shows, plus the three-outfit plan: one polished, one casual, one that shows your personality.

Props + settings

One prop you actually use, and locations that tell a story about the life you would share.

Posing that doesn’t look posed

Six fundamentals, common pitfalls and the fix, plus standing, motion and seated poses.

The six-photo lineup

Lead photo, full body, social, hobby, outdoor and candid — the structure that works for everyone.

Profile tips + what to avoid

Prompts, captions, how often to rotate photos, and the shots to leave out.
