Hi lads,
I have kind of an issue here. I recently made professional pics but still get 0 matches (it got even worse than with my old normal pics). Am I missing something or are the pics that bad? Advice is much appreciated

yeah man the issue is 100% the photos. the unfortunate reality is that 99% of Pro Photographers are horrible when it comes to dating photos. thats why there is a very small list of the ones i recommend. if you want to see example of good photographers go to unlimitedmatchesphotography on instagram.

Hey @avilench . can you explain what's wrong with his photos? Just for our own learning purposes.
He looks like a handsome dude. My guess is that the photos with him looking away and smiling look to "samey" and there's nothing of him doing something cool. Plus he has two photos with the coffee cup.

I recently went out for a few beers and asked random chicks how they liked my pics. Many of them gave me compliments but there was one girl that said that they all look like shit. She said to me that she is a photographer herself and my pics come across as posed pictures and give a millienial vibe (whatever this means). So said the pics should look like they were mad in the moment. Within random situations that happen through the day but posed is not good and from what I heard between the lines of what she said "like needy or desperate". And I think I understand the point she made. When I scroll through pics of dudes or even girls and I see they are posed or staged, it looks for me like "wannabe influencer" or loser because this person is following the trend and is seeking validation, instead of doing its own shit. Either I will switch to normal pics again, maybe just get normal pics that happen "in the moment" while getting a coffee or doing some shit through the day, or get back to the roots and approach chicks through the day

this girl is correct. an easier way to explain is you want pics that look natural. Like you were doing a cool activity and one of your friends took a pic w/ no prep. A good pro photographer will be able to do this without issue. The problem is most photographers suck when it comes to dating pics so in summary, you just need a better photographer.

yea for sure. Ill break down a few of the photos.
1st pic-- facial expression off and he doesnt look attractive in it. Also the photographer did the blurred background effect which shows the girl you did a pro photoshoot, which is low value
2nd pic-- cant see his face. in a photo you should be able to see at least 1 eye. Also looks like he has wrinkles, and thus, not attractive as he could be (plus there is the blurred background)
out of these pics, the 4th is the best.. although it is still far from good.
