How much does a Dating Profile Photographer Cost?

When you’re thinking of entering the dating scene, turning to a dating profile photographer can provide a much needed boost on mega popular apps like Tinder 🔥 or Bumble 🐝

Selfies or home made images will often have very inconsistent results and leave you falling behind those who have made a bigger effort with super high quality images.

But how much does all this cost? Dating profile photo pricing can be extremely varied across different fields and different levels of service.

Let’s attack some of the first questions that come to mind.

Are there photographers for dating apps in London?

There are professional photographers for lots of events and occasions in London and there are many who specialise in online dating photos. 

For example a Tinder photographer might help you focus on some of the newer features of the dating app like video or fashion trends, whilst someone who loves Bumble or Hinge may have a more reserved and artistic approach.

These are the kinds of conversations a skilled lensman or shutterbug will want to have with you before setting up a photoshoot session.

How much does a dating photographer cost?

The structure is often quite simple and is generally based on just a few factors:

• How much experience, knowledge and expertise does the photographer have?

• How much time do you require?

• How many images will be shot?

• Will they use multiple locations?

• Will they allow/provide a wardrobe change?

Should I hire a professional photographer for a dating profile?

In just an hour you can pretty much overhaul your dating profile photos. They will give you suggestions on what clothing will work well and what locations are going to bring out your best features.

If you are going to be using the mainstream dating apps then it is always going to be harder to stand out.

So the confidence boost from quality pictures is another reason people will often choose a dating app photographer.

Are professional dating photos worth it?

Your online dating profile does not have very long to impress someone, 6 seconds on average. 

Reputable portrait photographers are typically able to find strong compositions for portrait photography and showcase your best features in the most appealing way.

Since we are not always the best judges of ourselves, especially externally, an impartial photographer can provide a unique perspective on what works.

I am not a model, how do I pose for a photoshoot?

Freeze up when in front of a camera? Not to worry, when under the spotlight everyone seems to lose a level of comfort if they are not used to it.

We have some useful guides on posing for photoshoots if you need a heads up, they cover most of the essential dos and don'ts for both males and females.

Also the photographists at Klick Me are well adapted to this kind of unease and will do everything they can to settle any early jitters.

With one of our standard dating photoshoots you’ll receive full guidance and real time direction on where to stand, which way to face, what to do with your hands (which is always a difficult one) and how to present yourself so that your pictures bring out your best.

How much is a photographer per hour in the UK?

So how much do freelance photographers charge in the UK? You really should not be paying more than £99 for a basic level shoot, especially if a standard dating profile won't need more than 7-9 pictures.

Set a budget beforehand and filter down from there. If you’re paying hundreds of pounds for 30 mins of session time then you are likely paying too much.

There are also plenty of amateur photographers out there trying to gain experience so if you are severely budget constrained you can check your own local directories or search engines for upcoming talent that won’t charge the world for their services.
