3 Speedy Ways to Boost Your Online Dating Profile
London's top Dating Photographer delves into some of the must have tools for successful dating profiles in today's dating scene
Singles on a mission to maximise their dating potential are running out of excuses in the fast moving city of London.
The innovative ways to get out there and mingle are vast and plentiful, no matter what type of connection you’re looking for.
And it’s not just the warming buzz of summer that brings out the dating crowds, there are singles events happening all year round. Or maybe you’ll be diving into the exhilarating and far reaching world of online dating, since so many mega popular dating apps are bustling with singletons, all looking to meet up and let loose in the Big Smoke.
But how do you craft a profile that locks in that next big date? How do you ensure that your dating pics are showcasing your favourite pose and posture?
Here are a few snappy pointers to elevate your profile above the rest.
1. Match With Your Perfect Platform
This is a vital first step in giving yourself a strong grounding for what’s ahead.
The bad news is that there’s lots of trashy dating apps and services out there. Finding fake profiles and even fake chat bots when dating online is unfortunately all too common, so you’ll want to do some research.
Narrow your selections down to the platforms with reputable backgrounds and well moderated platforms.
Hot tip - if a platform ever asks you to pay for message tokens to keep talking or sends you a ton of very forward messages from ‘lonely’ people who apparently live close by… that's some easy red flags right there.
2. Get Some Professional Dating Profile Photos
Stats show that your pictures have less than 6 seconds to impress someone on a dating app or service before their eye starts to wonder, and within such a crowded space your casual selfies are likely to leave you buried in the crowd.
Alas, you have a secret weapon - find a dating photographer in London and let them bring out your best features.
What does a Dating Photographer do?
Typically you will be paired with a specialist portrait photographer that guides you through what you’ll need and how to prepare.
You’ll also receive a guide with styling tips and location details so you’ll be clued up on the full process long before you're in the spotlight. Your session will last typically 1hr.
A session with a dating profile photographer will involve:
Receiving over 100 new pictures, giving you maximum flexibility when selecting your profile pictures
Bringing out aspects of your personality you’d like to showcase
A wide selection of backgrounds to match and contrast your own clothing and colours
A relaxed and conversational atmosphere where you’ll be able to experiment and offer your own feedback and suggestions
Pictures taken using varying focal lengths and compositions

3. Don't Blow It With The Bio
Ok, so you’ve found the perfect dating app or service, you’ve nailed the perfect dating profile photos and now you're ready to upset the competition, but there's one thing left - the bio.
So easy to fluff it at the final turn and yet so simple a concept. Often people are fully withdrawn, using a timid comment about “never knowing what to say in these things” - try not to follow that cliché.
In fact, a slightly over confident approach will work out much better. You never want this to spill over into arrogance but a welcoming, warm and friendly intro affirming you know exactly what you are looking for and what you’re not looking for is often appreciated.
Being funny is always a much desired but tumultuous affair. We want to make people giggle in our bio but it's so subjective that you can easily put others off. Test it out first. Only stick with humour if it's rock solid and it is regularly working for you.
Remember - If it’s Daunting, It’s Probably Good
