DatingShoot's Biggest Update Yet 😳

We've been working on a new photo model for the past six months, testing it quietly with a small group of users while we ironed out the details. It's now live on every account.

The short version: photos look more like you, the realism is better, and the resolution is higher than what we shipped before.

If you're already a DatingShoot customer, you can switch to it right now from your photos page. You don't need to place a new order.

What changed

Three things shipped at the same time:

  1. A new photo model with better resemblance, realism, and resolution.
  2. Self-service training photos. You can swap your training photos yourself from the photos page, under "Manage My Training Photos." No support ticket.
  3. Every new generation runs on the new model once you switch. That includes custom photos and regenerations on credits you already have.

What "better resemblance" means in practice

We were already running every photo through AWS Rekognition to confirm 99%+ likeness, so the floor was already pretty high. The new model improves three specific things:

  • Resemblance. Jawline, eyes, expressions, the small stuff that makes a face yours. The "wait, is that actually me?" reaction goes away.
  • Realism. Photos look like photos. No plastic skin, no weird hands, none of the giveaways people associate with AI.
  • Resolution. Sharp at full screen on Tinder, Bumble, Hinge, or anywhere else.

See it for yourself

Six photos generated with the new model. All AI, no real shoot:

If you want more examples, every photo on our home page and purchase page is now from the new model. Scroll through them to get a fuller sense of what you'd actually get back on an order.

What a customer said this week

We got this in support a few days ago:

"I've been using this service for a bit now and I've never gotten so many matches. I managed to go on 7 dates in one month. Your service is definitely working."

That's what we want the photos to do. Get you matches, get you dates.

How to switch (existing customers)

  1. Log into your account
  2. Go to your photos page
  3. Pick the option to use the new model
  4. If you want to, update your training photos in "Manage My Training Photos"
  5. Spend your remaining credits or regenerate any photo. Everything from here runs on the new model.

The photos already in your library don't change. Switching only affects what gets generated from now on.

If you're new to DatingShoot

The new model is the default for every order placed today. Here's what you get:

  • 200+ photos that look like you
  • Same-day delivery, averaging about 4 hours
  • 50 custom photo credits for any scenario you want
  • A photo editor for changing clothes, adding your dog, swapping backgrounds
  • Regenerations on any photo you don't love
  • Facial-recognition verified, so the photos can't drift off into someone who isn't you

Price is still ~~$297~~ $89 for the whole thing.

I've spent thousands of hours analyzing dating profiles, studying what separates high-performing photos from the rest, and researching the psychology behind first impressions on dating apps. My obsession with understanding what actually works led me to build this platform—combining everything I've learned about lighting, angles, expressions, and authenticity into AI-powered photos that help guys present their best selves.
