Dating should be looked at like applying for a job you don’t know you even want yet. You have to showcase what you offer and not leave anyone guessing.
No mad filters, unidentifiable sunglasses with baseball hat shots, or selfies from now on. This is putting your best foot forward and investing in something so important that it could affect the rest of your life.
Whether you choose the three or six-image option, you can always add extra images to your shoot.
I encourage a few changes of clothes, smart, a casual look and layers, jackets, scarves etc.
We select a place like the city or somewhere rural that we can walk around and get a few shots of, and if you have a pet, a friend we can meet, or a child, we can include them in a shot.
Here is a recent session I took in St Fagans.
Start with one portrait, a smart look for the image in the studio.
An image showing more of you. This could be alone or with a friend, etc. You can look at the camera or be photographed doing something like a hobby, fitness or social situation.
Next, a lovely 3/4 length shot out and about.
With someone you love, sitting or alone.
Full-length shot. Posed or natural, whatever suits you best.
One where you are relaxing but not looking at the camera, black and white is always a classic for more contemplative photos.
A nice close-up with your best mate will always be one to print. It’s not all about dating but capturing you today, as you are with what’s essential in your life.
