In this post, we explore what makes a good profile photo?
1. Smile
Show that great smile of yours! Everyone has a great smile and using it on your profile picture will definitely help to get peoples attention.
People are drawn to happy people that’s a fact and so use this to your advantage on your profile picture.
2. Look like someone you’d want to meet
The simple rule is to think about someone you would like to meet as a friend (same sex) and look like them.
3. All natural
Mostly applies to women, go easy on the makeup for your profile photo.
This is just so that you come across natural. The more natural you look the more you will appeal to others.
4. Good lighting
A well-lit photo makes a huge difference. A photo taken outside in natural light will always be much better than one taken indoors under artificial light.
5. Recent
Make sure its a recent photo, don’t use the one from a few years ago when you were a little bit thinner, or you felt you looked slimmer.
If you’re going to meet up with a member for a date, they will probably realise that its an old photo and let’s face it you never want to start a relationship with a lie!
Tips for taking the perfect picture
1. No DIY
Very simple get someone else to take your photo.
2. Don’t pose
Try and make the photo look as natural as possible. The more natural the photo the more people will be drawn to you and your profile. The simple rule is no-body likes fake.
