As much as we would like people to look at our inner souls all of the time and read our minds, the truth of the matter is that most people base a lot off of their first physical impression of someone. When you begin your online dating adventures you will realize how important it is to have a really impressive profile photo to attract potential partners. Here is a list of tips that you can use to be able to make the best impression that you possibly can.
First of all, you will want to make sure that you are not putting too much light on your forehead. Try and use some other external light source other than the flash of the camera in your face. Your forehead has a natural glare to it and you don’t want to bring additional attention to it if you don’t have to. The best kind of light to have is a soft/diffused light that is not too bright nor too dark.
Another good tip is that your eyes are one of the most important parts of a picture. You will want to make sure that they are front and center. Most people are attracted to eyes and smiles, they can jump out at you and tell a lot about a person. If you are not looking at the camera people will think you are shady or shy. Be confident and look right into the camera when you are getting your profile pic taken.
Lastly, wear an outfit that resembles your best self. You don’t want to throw a picture of yourself on the internet in pajamas and a wife beater. This is going to impress no one. Wear something that you feel confident in, that gives people an idea of what your personality is like. Don’t wear any colors that are too intense and would overshadow the main point of the picture: you!
