Photography for Online Dating Profiles in New York.

Because every online dating app prioritizes photos as the main deciding factor for matching. You could look like Brad Pitt in real life, but if your photos suck, you're not going to be connecting with many people.

Most people don't have great photos of themselves. So we scrap together whatever old photos we can find and hope for the best. We know these awkward selfies don't do us justice, but it's all we have.

An online dating photographer will help showcase all the great things you bring to the table. They'll show off your charisma, confidence and personality. The'll find all your best angles, help you look natural and deliver stunning photos that will stop people in their tracks.

Do you feel like you're getting the matches you deserve? Do you find yourself endlessly swiping and only getting a few matches each day? 

We work with men and women of all ages, orientations and backgrounds. And while we think everyone could benefit from having great photos of themselves, there's a few areas where photos can really make a difference:

• Recently single or divorced: We get it. The last 5 years of your life were spent with your ex, so every photo has them in it. You're getting back into shape, trying new things, but your photos are old and tired. We can help you.
• Brand new to online dating: This feels like a whole new world. Where do you even begin? Don’t sweat it - it’s not as complicated or scary as you think. We can show you the ropes and make sure your profile is set up for success.
• You're super career focused: You have your shit together and are building a life that you're proud of. You're not spending your days snapping instagram photos with friends. You don't have time, desire or patience to take the perfect selfie.

Bio Copywriting: The right bio can make or break your profile. That's why we've partnered with a professional copywriter to write an original, witty, custom-tailored bio based on your unique personality and goals.

Relationship Coaching: Having the right mindset is key when dating. That's why we've partnered with Kimberly Hill (a stellar dating & relationship coach) to offer a complimentary 45-minute Zoom session for our clients. Kimberly works with professional men who are single and wanting to get back into the dating scene, but are unsure where to start, and how to move forward with clarity.

Personal Stylist/Shopper: Want to make sure you're dressing to impress? A personal stylist can work with you (either in-person or over Zoom) to coordinate your outfits.
Note: This isn't something we currently offer in-house, but we can refer you to the right people.

All of our photoshoots take place in Lower Manhattan, specifically near Greenwich Village and Washington Square Park.

We absolutely love this part of New York for portrait photography. We've learned this location inside and out to ensure consistent results each and every time. We know exactly what the light will be light at different times in the day, and we also know where to go if it starts raining.

Greenwich Village has TONS of variety in such a small radius, including unique coffee shops, incredible architecture, greenery, character buildings, graffiti and so much more. This way we can pack a number of unique looks into a single session; every clients' photos are guaranteed to be unique.

Washington Square Park will be our starting point. From there we might head over to Stumptown Coffee Roasters on W 8th for some urban "on-the-go" style street shots. After that we might head over to the endless trees at LaGuradia Corner Gardens to add some color into your backdrops. Depending on the look you're going for, we could also incorporate some up-scale vibes (in front of world-class restaurants like Le Coucou) or end the shoot overlooking the water at the Hudson River Greenway.

No matter what vibe you're going for, the sky is the limit for capturing epic dating photos in NYC.

We recommend bringing a few changes of clothes with you in a duffel bag so we can switch up your look throughout the shoot. With the Pro and All-Star packages, you get three outfits total. So we'll photograph you in the outfit that you'll arrive in, then you'll do two outfit changes during your session.

We recommend bringing a few different outfits: 

1. Date Night
   If you were going on a date in Manhattan tomorrow, chances are you know exactly what you're going to wear. Maybe a button-up shirt, your favorite pair of chinos and a jacket? This is going to look different for everyone, but this is the one outfit you should plan to do the majority of shooting in.
   ‍
2. Casual Saturday
   Some of the photos that seem to work best for our clients on Tinder are the casual pics. These are the photos were our clients typically feel like they're themselves; confident in their own skin. Bring a T-shirt or Henley, pair of jeans/khakis and your favorite sneakers. Basically whatever you would wear to meet up with your friends for beers at The Junction.
   ‍
3. Wild Card
   You can have fun with this last outfit. For some people, they have a favorite hobby (like guitar, yoga, gym, juggling, etc.). For others, they might have a really interesting career that they want to incorporate into their shoot (ie. being nomadic and working from a laptop at a coffee shop, or dressing up in a suit and tie).
   
   If we can work it into your shoot without it looking too forced/cheesy, we'll do it. For example, if you're in really good shape you might think a photo of you posing in a tank-top would do well. Unfortunately, this is going to look "try hard" and could probably backfire (especially in a city like New York).
   
   Instead, we'd get a photo of you in a tighter t-shirt, with your gym bag over your shoulder, walking through an alleyway confidently smiling. This shows that you're really into fitness without being overly obvious about it.

Luckily there's no shortage of local cafes and coffee shops we can use to do quick outfit changes.

We just hop in, order a drink (which we'll also use as a prop!) and you'll use the restroom for a quick outfit change.

And don't worry, we know where the cleanest restrooms are in NYC. 😉
