We transform online dating profiles on dating apps like Tinder, Bumble, and Hinge through intriguing photography, facial expression coaching, and showing you off in your element. Based in Texas and we shoot all across the US.
Our approach involves capturing a multitude of photos to ensure we curate a selection that shows your personality, helping you stand out on dating platforms.
I was hesitant to invest in what I thought were glorified glamour shots, and worried that the results would be a little cheesy... but I was also fed up with hours of mediocre results with my mirror selfies and cropped group photos... I was intimidated going into it but that was immediately alleviated. They did a great job of making me relaxed, comfortable, and confident. And the results... WOW! Way more matches and likes, but the increase in the follow-through rate was the noticeable difference. No more expired Bumble matches waiting for that first outreach!
We tailor your photo experience with us to highlight things you enjoy doing most. Whether it's kayaking, rock climbing, reading, or drinking coffee, you'll get more matches with a varied profile filled with your talents.

"It's night and day difference. Before The Match Artist hardly anyone swiped right. Afterwards I had more matches than I knew what to do with. I eventually found my partner with these new photos and we are getting married in October."
Our photographers excel in body language and facial expression coaching to create photos that captivate. Your revamped photos will show your personality and interests so they aren't just scrolled past.
No matter the app, you deserve a stand-out profile that draws in high-quality matches.
Whether you’re casually dating or looking for something more long-term, a well-crafted dating profile is the key to attracting dates. We offer photography for dating apps like Tinder, Dil Mil, Bumble, Hinge, and more.

We get it—online dating can sometimes feel like a losing game.
You have a matter of seconds to make a first impression, and you feel like you're missing out on matches because they don’t give your profile a fair shot.
That’s why your photos are so important. They're the first thing a potential date sees before they decide to swipe right or left. At The Match Artist, we help you get more matches by leveling up your dating profile with authentic, confidence-boosting photography. It’s time to attract people who are excited to get to know YOU. We offer dating profile photography services in Austin, New York, Los Angeles, Dallas, Chicago and all over the US.
Your primary profile picture should be a close-up shot that captures attention and conveys confidence and openness to potential matches.
Candid shots show your personality in a natural setting and help you appear more approachable.
These photos display your passions and interests to attract matches who share a similar lifestyle.
No matter your physique, it's important to have a full body shot. It could be walking, sitting, standing, or even playing a sport. It doesn't have to be rigid.
The social shot shows you enjoy having fun and gives a potential date a better idea of who you are and where you like to spend time.
Even the smallest changes in body language and facial expressions can lead to more online dating success. If you're interested in attracting the women you're looking for, it’s time to step up your profile with more mature, professional-looking photos.
Career-focused women in their 30s-50s are often overlooked by peers. Success hinges on presenting the right cues in photos and having photos that portray your lifestyle. Our photography is tailored to the type of man you aim to attract.
Every man can meet their match with the right photo cues. At The Match Artist, we coach you on body language and facial expressions to capture your very best angles and attract women who are interested in you. We help you put your best foot forward.
Maybe you have interesting photos and a descriptive bio, but still aren’t seeing the results you want. If you want to get more matches, it may be time to give your profile a fresh look. Professional photography can enhance your profile to better showcase your features, hobbies, and personality.
"Great service, terrific follow through, and an all around great experience working with Nate, Jason, and Robby."
"Jason did a phenomenal job. He coached me into comfortable and confident state, and he captured a ton of fantastic shots. I recommend him wholeheartedly."
"These guys were great to work with. From start to finish they were very professional, knowledgeable, and helpful. Really enjoyed working with both Mikes especially Mike S., my photographer. Very talented guy. Great team and I'd highly recommend hiring them."
"Marcos was a pleasure to work with. He has an artistic eye and a good sense of what works. He also made me feel very comfortable despite my lack of experience. I would highly recommend his services."
"This is an incredible team. Full of great, hard working, responsive people. I specifically worked with Mike and he was absolutely phenomenal. Loved how the photos turned out. Thanks Mike and The Match Artist!"
"Incredible photos. Made a world of difference with my dating life. Went from a few matches a week to matches every day! Would give it more stars if I could."
"Working with Mike Copeland from The Match Artist was one of the best experiences I have ever had. These guys are good at what they do. They’ve got a great idea for a picture to show off every personality, and Mike repeatedly blew me away with the amazing shots. Need a LinkedIn headshot? Phone profile picture? An Instagram profile picture? They’ll do that too. These guys worked extensively with me before, during, and after my shoot. I can’t recommend Mike and TMA enough."
"Before working with Jason, I thought the cost was high with plenty of other services to choose from. After a few hours, I not only thought it was worth it but highly recommend it. Jason was great to work with. Now getting about 10+ matches a day with much higher quality to choose from. If you are thinking about using this service all I can say is HURRY! You will be thrilled you did."
"I recently signed up on a couple of dating websites and booked a photo session with The Match Artist. I'm the least photogenic person I know and figured anything would be an improvement. The photo shoot was awesome! Mike Copeland is a great photographer, knowledgeable about facial expressions and scene composition. We spent 5 hours in multiple locations; the first photo he took was as good as my best. Out of over 250 photos, I think all are great candidates! I can't recommend The Match Artist enough!!"
The Match Artist is headquartered in Texas but we provide services in all cities across the U.S.
For platforms like Tinder, Bumble, Hinge, Dil Mil, and Match.com, a diverse set of 5-6 photos is recommended. This allows potential matches to see various aspects of your personality and interests. High-quality photos from a professional shoot can also be repurposed for other online profiles, like Instagram. Most people opt for around 16 quality photos to use across different platforms.
Always be genuine! Whether you're on Tinder, Bumble, Hinge, Dil Mil, or Match.com, it's essential to portray yourself honestly. Authenticity helps you attract more meaningful connections.
Using the same photo across Tinder, Bumble, Hinge, Dil Mil, and Match.com can be repetitive. Avoid staged environments, excessive filters, and inauthentic portrayals. Each platform has its vibe, so tailor your photos to fit the app's audience while staying true to yourself.
In general, no—but there are exceptions! A quick selfie can add fun and personality to your Tinder or Bumble profile but is less suited for more serious platforms like Match.com or Hinge. It’s best to invest in professional dating photos if your goal is to attract more serious relationships.
When deciding what to wear to your dating photoshoot, it’s important to consider the platform(s). Casual attire might be more fitting for Tinder or Bumble, while you might opt for a slightly more polished look for Match.com or Dil Mil. Regardless of the platform, be it Hinge or any other, always wear what makes you feel confident and represents your personal style. Being prepared with a variety of outfits or shirt changes is always a good idea.
