Having good photos for Tinder or any online dating app is the most important part of online dating. In this post I’ll show you tips and tricks to get your pictures looking the best they can. Who am I and why should you listen? I am Gonzalo, a Tinder photographer in Miami. I’ve spent more than 5 years helping hundreds of men look their best on Tinder, Hinge and Bumble.
Obvious rules:
-No Selfies
-Don’t use group photos
-No photos with girls they might think are your ex or girlfriend
-Avoid blurry/pixelated/low quality pics
-Delete baby pics unless it’s yours even if it’s your cousin or brother
On Tinder women don’t look at your pictures for more than a second. Your first picture should be your face clear as day in a closeup shot.

Figure out your angles
Most people have an angle they prefer and look best in make sure you know it. The best way to do that is simple. Remember which way you use your phone when taking a selfie or video. The side you use more often is probably your best angle. Ok, you’ve never liked taking selfies. Just keep trying the 3 main angles forward, right side and left side.
Important tip: try different angles a lower angle can make you look more important, taller and more put together, especially with a wide angle. while something from above might make you look better and more approachable.
3 different poses to try
The biggest mistake I see people do is being nervous with posing. Don’t just let your arms be lose to your side. Play around keep in motion. Go between the easist 3 poses. Adjusting clothes, grabbing an arm crossing your shoulders, etc. When you cross your arms your muscles look bigger, especially if you have bigger arms. Above are 3 poses you should try at your shoots for Tinder.
Play with your emotions and faces
my 3 favorite emotions for the camera are smiling at the camera, looking away smiling or a serious look. You should try all 3 when using your different poses you’ve learnt. Different people have different best faces and emotions it’s best t try them all and pick later what your favorite pictures are.
that’s it make sure to be looking your best, get a haircut a few days before if you think you need it. make sure you have enough time for it to grow in a bit. if you try all these tips you’ll feel a bit awkward but just run with it make sure you try all the tips and then after pick from your favorite images.
