Fantastic photoshoot. Great final product and really enjoyable process. Was very relaxed and fun, got coaching where I needed it and also just had a good time. He’s a great photographer, works efficiently, makes you feel comfortable, and gets you the shots you need while having fun along the way."

How My Photos are Specialized for Online Dating

As a dating profile photographer, a common concern I hear is “what if the photos look too professional?”. 

My job, first and foremost, is to make you look your best. Even an overtly professional photo that makes you look attractive will work better than a random iPhone photo taken by your friend.

That being said, I understand the concern and I take very specific measures to add a sense of authenticity and intimacy to the photos. I achieve this in the following two ways:

1. STRUCTURING THE PHOTOS:

The point of view of a dating profile photo is often overlooked. During our shoot, I’ll both pose you and choose angles very intentionally to emulate how a woman would see you in real life. Whether that means checking you out from far away, or sitting at a table with you enjoying a laugh, she’ll be able to easily imagine herself sharing that moment with you. 

2. CHOICE OF EQUIPMENT:

There’s a common saying in the photography industry that the lens you use matters much more than your camera. This is because different lenses can completely change the structure of an image. 

I primarily use a 35 mm lens which is much wider (more “zoomed-out)” than a standard 85 mm “portrait lens”. This makes the photos feel more intimate and less like they are looking at you through a telescope. The 35 mm also reduces the feeling that the photos are overly professional and manicured. 

For reference, a standard iPhone camera on 1x uses a 24 mm lens, so the photos we’ll take are much more similar in feel to photos she’s used to seeing in day to day life— just WAY better!

Manan Pancholi
Ethan has been a pleasure to work with. As a person, he is modest, friendly and communicative. We did a ~2hrs photoshoot in the evening with plenty of natural light. He has an eye for picking out the right spots at any given location that will capture photos with the perfect lighting. We were slightly past our photoshoot time but there was one more place in my mind where I wanted to get a few pics. Ethan gladly joined me and took great shots without any fuss. After the photoshoot, he sent me the processed images in just a few days. The photos turned out exceptional in terms of quality, lighting, backdrop and my facial expressions. I highly recommend Ethan for anyone who is looking to do a photoshoot in the Austin area!
William Solis
Ethan is an incredibly talented photographer! His attention to detail and creative eye result in slick captures. A true professional, highly recommended!
Greyson Turner
Ethan does great work, affordable and professional as well!
Joshua Valk
Ethan is the best photographer I’ve had the pleasure of working with. He was able to come to me and work through several ideas I had for my graduation photo shoot. He helped me with posing, wardrobe, and captured all my best angles during the shoot. When I received the photos I was amazed at the quality and attention to detail he had taken on every picture while editing. I highly recommend you call him first for any photography needs as he has the knowledge and experience to deliver an excellent product every time.
