Picture Feedback Megathread

@GoodLookingNerd gotcha, will keep that in mind and move my hand a little less in view.

@Adrizzle agree, I took this pic on a walkway close to a campus cafe.

This pic netted a 6.8 on Photofeeler at 16 votes so it'll work as a filler for now but ideally need something better. After tommorow its gonna be a while before I get nice lighting so Ill try to go early morning to shoot.

Need some assistance with a street shot.

I think it's good as-is. Remarkable improvement over your first pics

[GN44]

The pic ended at a 7.1 after 18 votes so it’s good for now but I’ll still work to replace it. There are three pics I’m working on replacing. The total side-head shot, the gym pic, and this. In that order.

Back in the game after my relationship ended

Any thoughts on how I can improve my profile? Open to any suggestions. I got some pretty decent results with these pics but I'd like to match with very attractive girls more frequently. It's like once in a blue moon right now and then half of them don't reply of course. Idk if it's just my looks that are limiting me at this point. I'm a little skeptical of the hobby pics but I didn't know how else to fill it out. Also think they give off boyfriend vibes when that's not really my intention right now. Thanks for any help

Edited pics out. If anybody’s really curious to see them, DM me.

Ran into a super scenic place in Bangkok and had to take a picture because a background like this is probably close to perfect. The picture is far from perfect though. My style and grooming are subpar due to me backpacking. Asked a random Thai high schooler for a picture by using hand gestures so thats obviously not perfect. How is the posing and are the other imperfections?

Picture is fine for IG but not for the apps. Your style is subpar as you mentioned. Posing is ok though.

The framing is off. I would have rather seen you doing the same posing, in the same position, but mirrored so you are looking to right instead. I would have also asked the girl to crouch so your body would take up 2/3 of the frame but still have the skyline in the background, making you look "larger than life" and more dominant.

This will sound weird, but you smile too much. Having a few photos in the lineup smiling are good, but not all of them. For example the photo in the leather jacket is decent, but a hard faced, masculine gaze would have been better. Also leather jacket in nature is not a good combo. Do this same pic in a city background.

The other jacket photo during golden hour is also pretty decent, but again I would have liked a more serious expression on your face. The expression you're showing now in that photo feels a bit ditzy. But the concept of the photo and fashion are on point. Also, I generally like to have my hands out of my pockets. I don't really know if it helps, but my arm chair psychology expertise says it conveys more safety and confidence with hands out of pockets. So take that with a grain of salt.

Group photo is meh - refer to Pancake’s Golden Rules of Group Photos on Apps

Piano and tennis photo are ok. They are neutral filler photos. Not really hurting the profile, but you're also not getting the full juice out of them that you could be.

I'd recommend getting a really solid first photo, preferably the leather jacket one with the fixes I mentioned (masculine gaze, city background). Then photo 2 could be the golden hour one, again with the fixes I suggested. The others you can still use, but think of ways they could be improved. For example, playing piano for others in the background, getting an action shot of serving the ball while shirtless (if physique is up to par), getting a group photo with you in the center, preferably with women looking at you.

yeah @Yggdrasil13 I agree with Bman here, copy something like my profile pic

@Bman

Thanks. Your points make a lot of sense. Going to drop some weight and then try and implement it.

Hi guys,

Would much appreciate some feedback on online dating pics, right now I only use hinge and averaging about two matches a week atm.

This is my current profile - https://www.flickr.com/gp/199506397@N07/w8EJP8w784
And here is a collection of some other pictures that I've been considering using - https://www.flickr.com/gp/199506397@N07/3zYi15vSFt

Cheers!

The background doesn't look notable at all and photo is even worse. Never put your hands in your pockets.

Would this picture be good enough to put towards the end of my profile to show that I travel? My main issues with the image are that I look a bit unkempt (travel context might excuse it?) and my expression/posture is relaxed but not very dominant.
Would this add or subtract from my profile score, assuming that I replace the other hiking picture (middle left) with it? I am going to crop it a bit more by the way.

Now I think I have better photos to replace someone of them (especially the one with the mic, as shown in my Progress Log) - btw please let me know if I should just post on my Progress Log instead of the mega thread - or does it not matter at all?

Karaoke w/ Mic

the only problem with the new piano photo is my facial expression, but it scored really well on Photofeeler Social, but I'm curious...

@brohankwon Social 2 is your best social photo because it looks like you are the center of attention. Karaoke is also good.
