What makes a dating photo work
There is no magic here, just a few plain rules people forget.
- One clear face. Yours, and nobody else's, in the first photo.
- Daylight. Soft light from a window or outside beats any lamp.
- Look at the camera. It feels more open than looking away.
- Clothes you actually own and wear. Relaxed beats dressed up.
- No sunglasses and no hats hiding your eyes.
- Keep group photos further down, never first.
- Mix close-ups with photos that show more of you.
