Is this pic worth keeping in rotation as a 2nd or third picture? Or should it eventually be reshot? For the first picture you recommend a more dominant head/shoulders shot?

You should grab wing, hire a DSR camera, Google some cool locations in your local area , take a few outfits, set a day to go blast a 1000 pics. Me and 3/4 other guys did this and we all edited the pics together and voted on the best ones for each profile's.

Once you got it though, It is passive, you're money, just let the pic generate the matches/game for you. No guy on Tinder will go beyond an iphone mirror selfie, this is your opportunity to shine just by knowing this info.

Check out my profile again on the last page for a an example.

Don't want to blow my own trumpet, but I went to Ireland this weekend and my Tinder just blew up, imagine getting more matches than skips? it was insane. I need to move out there for a month or 2 and just clean up.

Um, is this some specific type of digital camera? Because a DSLR is just a plain digital camera of any sort. I'm not even aware of anyone still using film(SLR).

I'm not familiar with the lingo and hardware.

Just get hold of a quality camera with a bling lense somehow.

If it fits in your pocket. You're probably selling yourself short

Am SLR (digital or otherwise) is a Single Lense Reflex camera and refers to the type of mechanism within the camera body. A DSLR will be a camera that a profession would use, think detachable lense. A regular old digital camera that fit's in your pocket doesn't come close to the quality of photo's an SLR will get you.

Pebble probably has better advice, I'd just repeat what he said, take a bunch of pics, different clothes, angles, all that. Then throw it into lightroom or photoshop. Also, I've found for some reason, on DSLR's, videos works better for me for getting good pictures, then you can play the video, freeze it when you think you'll have a good pic from the frame and still edit it in LR.

That's how I got this pic, it's one out of like 30. I like the video idea though.

You look constipated bro. That could of been a good pic too considering the view. Try again.

Take 100's of pics! (Of the same pose) This is important. Because they when you process the pics, you will find the micro differences and pick the pics that show you in the best way,

Ghostrider:
I'm no expert by any means, in fact, I have a lot of problems getting girls to meetup through internet dating, but that's NOT because of my profile picture. I get way more messages than I can read. My problem is girls never have the nerves to actually meet up (that's the reason I'm here).

I only have 1 profile picture. If girls ask me to prove it by sending another picture, I generally tell them no or ignore them. They won't think you're fake if you're not making excuses for it. Or they're still willing to take the risk that you may be the real deal and continue the conversation anyway. If I really like the girl then I might send another one where I don't look like I'm expecting somebody to judge how I look, and that always locks them into chase mode again.

Your profile picture, old and new, have bad body language and convey that you are nervous. A good quality picture doesn't change this. You hunch, you have a nervous smile, your hands are nervously closed and to the front of your body. Everything about you look stiff, shielded and scared. ("please like me and don't reject me" vs. "oh hey camera, how are you?")

Me telling you this is most likely NOT going to help you making you feel more comfortable and confident and make a photo that DOES create a nice image of a confident, sexually attractive male that I'm pretty sure you actually are.
But you need to know these points before you can move beyond them. And now you can

Instead of trying to go out and get 30 or so photos in a particular spot, or more.... get used to taking a camera with you and taking lots of photos anyway, not necessarilly about you. Do new things, do fun things, go out of town with friends, go rafting, climb a mountain, do some scuba diving, whatever is adventurous and will get your adrenaline going! AND!! make some photos while doing that or/and have friends take photos. You can always cleanup and enhance photos afterwards anyway.

The difference here is that it will take your mind off of trying to create that perfect photo, with all the right posture and body language, and it will be a lot easier to actually relax, be comfortable and thus get that great looking photo.

And practise doing silly poses, just for fun! Try to do a few exaggerated alpha male/superman poses, put your chest ridiculously forward, strike some bruce lee poses, whatever, just keep it fun. And somewhere during that will be that great photo for you. You might actually find new levels of confidence and also meet a new lover while at it. At the very least it will give you stories to tell at social interactions.

I believe the quality of the photo is not as important as the body language you convey THROUGH that photo.
Seriously, I took my photo when I just woke up, was horny as hell and had slept a night in a horribly dirty hostel in Bandarawella in Sri Lanka. I made 3 photos, all came out blurry, but 2 of them conveyed raw sexuality.
Women see that photo, they pick up the sexual part of the message in the photo, and the rest they just make up to fit their ideal man.

"I can see you are a wild man/I can see you are into fast cars/I can see you're exotic/I can see you're a really sweet snuggly person/I can see you're a straightforward, down to business guy/I can see you're very energetic/You're a guy who likes sports/I can see you must be a guy who likes animals/etc. etc."
I don't give a shit about cars, music festivals, football or whatnot, they just want their hot guy to be like that so they lie to themselves with me as their object.

Just as men lie to themselves about women they want, women do the exact same about men. If their lie of me matches the real me, I might reply to them, or if they are really hot I might play along for a bit.

If you want more success with your profile, give them a profile they can tell a story/lie to themselves about.

Most women don't even bother to read my profile text. Don't mention your work, it's usually boring. Mention something silly that does not make you look like a slob. Use movie quotes or something if you don't have inspiration... Look at guy's profiles that are popular and copy what they're doing.
Best of luck!

sup guys, can i get some input here? im colombian and online dating is only beggining to grow here imo, so tinder is not as active. Thats why i think i hope to build a pretty solid profile with your help.

Sorry for no description, ill get into it.

Not digging it

Most of your pics are hiding so much of you. The profile pic is the least crap. (Not saying it's good) Picture quality is poor and you don't dress sexy. Did you read the thread?

4/10 in my opinion

Keep trying

So I have a few questions about picture strategy

I've lost a significant amount of weight but i am still not in top physical condition. How should i go about setting up pictures without hiding too much but not revealing too much?

We all have flaws, just do your best to hide them, for me I have a big nose and ears. So those things were a consideration when picking my final pics.

Fat girls have mastered the art of angles, if they can do it , you can too

Perhaps i should go as far as hiring a photographer? I've been told my ability to get pictures for this things are abysmal

Also having been overweight i've always been the guy to request not to have my picture taken when out so i don't have much to pull from other than selfies which are awful
