San Diego's Best Online Dating Photographers

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.

This totally depends on your overall goals and the "vibe" you're trying to convey.

Want to get your matches thinking about what your first date could be like? Let's snap some photos of you in front of a cozy, trendy coffee shop to plant the idea of a coffee-date in their minds.

Want to communicate how important art, music and culture is to you? Let's snap some trendy laughing photos with some work by The Mural Co. in the background.

Want to show off your physique without it screaming "gym-bro"? Let's get a shot of you on the street with your gym bag and tank-top, en-route to the gym.

Your photos should be as unique to you and your goals - and we can help you get there.

One of the most important parts of our job is to give you great photos with perfect lighting and a variety of backdrops.

In order to achieve that we choose areas in town that offer access a variety of different "looks" all within a 1-2 block radius. This way we have access to rustic, trendy, outdoorsy and up-scale looks all without having to drive to another area of town.

We also know these areas like the back of our hands, so we know where the light is going to fall at different areas of the day.

We also choose areas that have coffee shops nearby for easy access to restrooms (for changing outfits).

We believe your photos should be as unique as you are, but there's some universal faux-pas that we advise against.

Don't use any photos of you holding fish.
Believe it or not, this is one of the most common mistakes we see. Most guys don't have many photos of themselves to choose from, but almost every guy has an old photo from a fishing trip where they caught an epic carp. But do you know what people think when they see that photo? 

"How original. Another fish-man."

"Ew, his hands probably smell like fish."

"Cool, he's going to invite me to a boring fishing trip."

Don't use awkward bathroom selfies.
The bathroom selfie should be reserved for pre-teens and Kardashians. We take bathroom selfies when our friends don't take photos of us. We think "better to have something than nothing at all!" Wrong. From our panel testing, bathroom selfies perform some of the worst out of all the photos we see on dating apps.

Don't awkwardly crop your ex out.
We get it. You've been in a relationship for a while and maybe don't have any recent photos of yourself. But guess what? We don't want to see your ex's shoulder poking into the frame.

Don't use photos where we can't tell who you are.
It's okay to have one or two group photos, but if the rest of your photos are so unclear that we can't tell who's who in the photo, it's time to ditch it.
