Most guys feel uncomfortable using professional looking photos on their Tinder profile...

But after spending thousands of dollars and hundreds of hours researching what works, our research clearly indicates that you should use professional looking photos. And here are four main reasons why (the fourth might be the MOST important).

1. Quality implies status

Photos that appear professional quality imply that you are the kind of person who can get access to a professional photographer. Of course, you could always ask a friend who does photography as a hobby, but more commonly you would need to pay thousands of dollars for this service.

At DatingShoot, we have a STRICT no catfishing policy, and that extends to both your appearance and your lifestyle. That's why we produce professional quality photos. They perform better, and imply a certain level of status, without the need for cringe private jet or yacht photos.

2. Location, location, location

By doing a professional photoshoot, you are guaranteed to get a much wider variety and better quality of locations for your photos than simply iPhone shots taken around your home.

Once again, you don't need to catfish your lifestyle. Shots taken from a nice balcony, or around the park, or at a bar or social event will all suffice. Just showcase that you have a life outside of your home and work - that's what she wants to see.

3. Fashion is everything

The number one difference we see between professional photos and simply uploading whatever is in your camera roll is in the fashion.

By doing a professional photoshoot, you are committing to dressing your best, in multiple different outfits, for every single photo and location. The impact of doing this cannot be overstated.

Most of the poor performing profiles we see feature way too many photos in a t-shirt and shorts.

That's why our professional Tinder photos feature a wide variety of trendy and timeless styles, with ideal layering and coloring to suit the situation.

4. Stand out in a good way

I know what you're thinking: by using professional photos, I am going to stand out way too much. People might even think my profile is fake.

Let them think that. Trust me.

I can't tell you how many times I've heard from happy DatingShoot customers telling me someone commented on their photos in a positive way.

"Who is your photographer?"

These kinds of messages from the women serve as conversation starters that actually lead to dates. She wants to be with a man who stands out, and portrays himself in the best light possible.
