Stand apart from the crowd
There are thousands of in-depth blogs about the “do’s & don’ts” of creating online dating profiles, so instead, here are my thoughts specifically on your dating profile headshots, since they are the essential offerings of the best online dating photographers, that create your first impression.
There are 4-5 pictures on the average online dating site profile. Two shots could be great candid images from your life, your world, if they’re shots that you love, and you feel represent you well. If you want to make a truly great first impression however, two of your images at least should be created with a top-notch, affordable online dating photographer.
Of course it’s important that any image you use actually looks like you, on your very best day. No one likes to feel deceived when the person in the picture walks into the room and looks completely different. Part of the professional online dating photographer’s mission is to assure you look your very best, and also that your images are honest representations that stop their scrolling!
Geoffrey is a true artist! He creates a fun and creative environment and is able to speak to the heart through his photography. I loved working with him and was extremely impressed with the photos - Piper M.
Why not use a great “Selfie?”
No matter how flattering, a selfie provides no real connection with your viewer, because it’s just you posing for your phone. Selfies often feel self-involved and ego-driven, rather than authentic and connected, rarely about sharing something genuine and real of yourself with the other person. If you were going on your dream job interview, and they asked for a picture, would you send a selfie? I really hope not.
How much do you care about how you come across to a potential date? You’re looking for an authentic, genuine match, someone who can truly “partner” you for great dating, and maybe more, right?
Professional dating portraits demonstrate your commitment and investment in the person you’re hoping to connect with, not simply looking sexy on Tinder. Such images also show you in your very best light. This sends a powerful message right away.
There’s a world of difference between “trying too hard,” and caring.
Creating authentic, relaxed portraits that stand out from the crowd and connect with your viewer is how you accomplish your goal, and that is what I specialize in.
It’s hard to describe Geoffrey Donne’s genius in words, when his photographs so eloquently speak for themselves. He captures that elusive spark that grabs the eye and heart. Geoffrey guided the emotional range of the shoot through music and direction. It was an amazing day, and the photographs speak loud and clear for themselves! - Amanda S.
How to set yourself apart in the online dating world
Whether in-studio, on-location or ideally both, our goal is to best capture different sides of you, and you are in charge of what aspects of yourself you want to share with perspective dates, and how. A casual park date, a beach picnic, an elegant evening on the town, or anything in between, we’ll capture how you want to share yourself, and in your very best light.
As a professional online dating photographer, part of my process is to guide you, direct you, help you grooming and styling, wardrobe and locations selection, and support you into an easy, connected, confident vibe during your shoot. This assures you get pictures you truly love, and “they” will too.
A quick online search for online dating portraits Atlanta, or dating headshots Atlanta, will reveal that nearly every professional photographer in the Atlanta region will be happy to take your pictures and your money. But very few have the skills and commitment to actually build a custom shoot around your unique needs, or the ability to create with you in a relaxing, enjoyable creative environment you will truly thrive in. Choose wisely.
Geoffrey is an extremely talented photographer who is laser focused on seeing you and helping bring forward how you want to be seen. It was an awesome session. Thank you so much, Geoffrey, for your clear and compassionate expertise! - Heather H.
Choosing your dating profile picture photographer
What makes the best online dating photographer near you? A big part is their skills, experience and process. My shoots are always fun, no matter how uncomfortable you may have felt in front of a camera previously.
Our resulting shots will feel genuinely “you,” authentic and connected, not awkward or stiff.
You, as approachable, confident, relaxed and at ease, naturally appealing. It’s my mission to guide you through every step of this process, to take the stress and awkwardness out, and bring in the authentic joy of finding your ideal mate.
Geoffrey's photography speaks for itself. The results aren’t just a picture, but he captured the truth of me… something deep and magical. We couldn't be happier with the pictures he took. Spending the time with him was fun as well. It was a fantastic experience. - Pamela S.
My investment in your online dating success
I’m genuinely interested in who you are, and so is your potential date. Every online dating portrait session with me begins with an in-person meeting, where I take the time to actually get a sense of who you are, and we then capture you in images. We get comfortable with one another, build rapport and share ideas, concerns and desires BEFORE your shoot day. You get a fresh eye, just like the person looking at your profile online.
My expertise is capturing your authentic essence, in ways that set you apart.
The same is true for the actors and successful professionals I shoot every day.
Out of thousands of talented photographers, they choose to shoot with me because their careers depend on their shots being excellent, authentic and memorable: truthful images that set you apart from the competition.
I had the most incredible and fun experience during my photoshoot with Geoffrey Donne. He brought out the best in me and I'm a guy who absolutely HATES being photographed. Geoffrey made me a believer. - Adam S.
Who is on the other side of the lens?
Just as importantly, our mission is to create images that “they” are drawn to, the person viewing your profile. Because your portraits honestly convey the very best of you, they draw your viewer in, and make them curious to know more about you.
The key to the best online dating headshots, images that will really work for you, is making the best impression with the person viewing your profile. An essential part of my approach is to help you get out of your head, quiet your internal critic, and capture images that really connect with the imaginary person sitting across from you on a great date, as we shoot.
That’s the magic of how you transform your “imaginary” date, and into reality.
I have many satisfied clients who can speak much more authentically about their results with their images we created together, so have a peek at my real client reviews.
I look forward to being of service to you, and your online dating success.
