Find somewhere outside where you can take a few different pictures for your Tinder profile. If you want multiple photos, you can change locations, and even bring a change of clothes to complete your profile.

ROAST Profile Review

If you can’t get someone to take the pictures for you, do it yourself! It’s easy to do, and all you need is a tripod to do it. Grab your tripod and head out to take your Tinder pictures. We recommend taking your pictures outside, so that they look more interesting and don’t give away that you took them yourself while in your house. 

3 find good lighting 

3. Find good lighting 

Good lighting is essential for a high-quality, clear, and attractive photo. Potential matches want to see what you look like, and don’t want to see a dark photo that doesn’t show you in the best light. Make sure you are facing good lighting whether you’re inside or outside.


The first hour after sunrise is magic hour while the last hour before sunset is known as golden hour, and both of these times of day will provide you with the best lighting situation possible.

ROAST Photo Review

A portrait photo is one where you’re facing the camera head on, and show the upper half of your body. This type of profile pic will ensure that potential matches see your face clearly, and know exactly what you look like. A professional photographer who takes dating photos will often take a portrait photo or two, so you can get the same high-quality Tinder picture effect with this photo idea.

5 show off your passions and talents

5. Show off your passions and talents

Shake things up with a few fun photos of you doing what you love. Girls don’t want to see a bunch of portrait photos of you in the same place — they want to get to know you through your Tinder pictures. The next time you’re doing a hobby or passion you love like a sport, hike with friends, or an activity, ask someone to snap a few pictures of you.


Show her you're not just an average guy and have passions that make you intriguing. You may even find matches who share the same passions and hobbies as you, which works as a great conversation starter.

Smiling will automatically make you more approachable, attractive, and confident-looking. Girls are attracted to confident guys who look happy with themselves and with their lives. Show off your good vibes with photos where you’re smiling and genuinely happy. 

7 ask family members if they have photos of you

7. Ask family members if they have photos of you

This is one way you may be able to score a few good pictures without having to take any new ones. Ask family members if they have any photos of you — this could mean candid pictures they took, photos from family events, or any other pictures you don’t have. 


You can add a few group shots or a group photo to your dating profile, just make sure you look attractive and stand out in a good way. Group photos are risky, but if it's with your family and you know you look good, they can attract hot girls.

8 don’t upload selfies 

8. Don’t upload selfies 

No matches?

STOP swiping for nothing, use ROAST to get data-driven feedback and a clear action plan to get more matches.

ROAST Profile Review

One thing to remember is to drop the selfie stick — you don’t need selfies, and they won’t help you as much as you think. While they’re easy to take and require little effort, they’ll also yield little results. Girls, including your prospective date, will typically find selfies to be vain, egotistical, and self-centered and you definitely want to avoid coming off as any of those characteristics. 


The same goes for shirtless pics, as a shirtless photo will do you more harm than good on your online dating profile. Girls on the dating app don't want Tinder photos where you're shirtless, so keep it classy!

9 take part in social situations 

9. Take part in social situations 

If you’re still struggling to get a few Tinder pics for your profile, try getting out there and taking part in social situations. Plan a fun day out hiking with friends, or sign up for an intramural sports team, or learn a new hobby. In all of these social situations, you’ll be able to ask someone to take photos of you doing something different, showing off your social life and even your friends.


Girls want to know you have a good social circle and enjoy getting out there, so show some group shots but make sure it's not your profile picture. Group photos should be taken with caution - always ensure you look good in the Tinder photos you're using and that no one outshines you in your dating app pics.

10 find a good location

10. Find a good location

Location is everything when it comes to taking good Tinder photos. You don’t want to take all of your photos inside or in the same place – girls will know when you’re using the same spot. Good Tinder pictures are taken in different spots. It will also look like you don’t get out much, which is the last thing you want your potential matches to think.


A good location outside can also spark up a conversation and even help you plan a future date or two.
