Tips on Photos

• Post a photo of yourself. Make sure the photo does not exceed the file size limit and is a JPG, PNG, or GIF file.
• Use recent photos that were taken within the past 6 months.
• Photos should reflect the best elements of you. Look your best.
• Be the focus of your shot – be the only person in the photo. Group photos can be distracting. Don’t post photos with a “friend” of either sex.
• Photos with animals, cars, boats, planes, motorcycles, etc. can also be distracting and are usually not effective.
• Just show you – your face – your whole face.
• Make sure your face is well lit.
• Photos taken in the mirror are not as appealing.
• Use your computer to adjust color, lighting, clarity. It’s easy to do – or ask someone to help you. With today’s computer technology, it’s easy to make a photo look good.
• Color photos are more effective than black and white.
• Avoid overly professional glamour shots – pretentious images can be intimidating.
• Avoid images where you are far away and cannot been clearly seen.
• Please post photos of yourself, not someone else.
• If you’re sincere about finding a partner (using our “Love Colors Dating” service), be authentic. Present your true self – not who you think you have to be to attract someone.
