Follow our quick tips to creating the perfect profile picture, and make sure that your online dating profile stands out!
The Age of the Selfie
For those of you that don’t know, the craze of the ‘selfie’ is in full flow. Celebs are doing it, your friends are doing it, and online daters are doing it. It involves you, a camera, and a smile. Easy! But make sure you get it right, sulky-selfies are a turn off, and ‘seductive-selfies’ are often not seductive at all but in fact, just a little bit weird. Go traditional, put on your best camera smile and snap away until you get something you’re happy with.
Not Photogenic?
When you see a camera, do you get an overwhelming urge to run in the opposite direction? Don’t worry, there is a solution! Profile pictures aren’t just a way of showing what you look like, they can also be a great way to show another side of your personality. Love walking? Pose for your photo on a scenic country stroll. Love to ski? Get your best holiday snaps out. Everyone looks beautiful when they look happy, so use an action shot – show off your personality.
Say No to Web-Cam shots
It is the easiest option, but it is also incredibly boring and unimaginative, and the lighting is always terrible. If online daters can see that you’ve put effort in to your photo, they will be much more inclined to find out more.
Video Profiles
If you're feeling really brave, video profiles are a great way to show another side to your personality, and it will make your profile stand out from the rest! <a class="article-body-link" href="http://hellorayo.co.uk/downtown/play//dating-hub/features/features-diaries/ "Video Profiles"">Find out more >>
Have Fun!
