“After 11 years on dating apps, feedback from dozens of friends, Reddit reviews, two dating coaches, and even another photographer, I was ready to give up. Then I hired Andrea. 

The process was effortless, the photos are stellar, and within five days of launching my new Hinge profile I had 15 active conversations. For the first time ever, dating apps feel fun and exciting instead of draining. 

Andrea didn’t just give me better photos — she showed me that online dating could actually work for me.”

You already have all the raw material
A man using a circular saw.
Your career is humming. You've got a home, loyal friends, healthy routines. 

Your life is good.

When you're ready for a partner to share it with, dating apps are the single most powerful tool for finding her.

They can also be a miserable time sink and demoralizing hellscape. 

If your time is precious and you know that choosing a life partner is the single most important decision you'll ever make, hear me out...

Your dating photos have one job:

Signal the kind of man you are so the right women swipe right.
This is not only (or even mostly) about how you look. It's about how you *feel* to her. 

Effective dating photos communicate what matters, fast.

  • They give her a glimpse into your real life.
  • They provide a sense of your attitude, energy, and presence
  • They make it obvious that you're making an effort at dating
  • And they spark easy conversations.
I call this kind of dating photo "High-Signal"

Here's what a High-Signal dating photo set looks like:

    What changes when your dating photos do their job:

    • You show up confident — Because your profile isn't just attractive, it's accurate.
    • You get better matches — And more of them.
    • Conversations come easy — Because your photos give women something to talk about.
    • You go on more 2nd and 3rd dates — Because the women who match are drawn to the real you.

    Galen had used dating apps for years with little success

    Galen's dating photos before:

    Left: Man sitting on a cliff by the ocean holding a water bottle. Right: Same man showing off a tattoo on his upper arm while standing on a city sidewalk.
    • Low-quality — It's hard to see his face and eyes so women have to guess what he looks like.
    • Low-signal — random contexts don't give much insight into who he is.
    Here's Galen after his High-Signal Half Day:

    Why Galen's new dating photos work

    • They immediately establish trust — Women can easily see his face, and his body language is relaxed and open.
    • They give clues about his lifestyle  — He's clearly active and fun. It's easy to imagine biking with him, hiking, grabbing a beer, and cheering him on at CrossFit.
    • They provide many conversation hooks — like, "Is there a story behind your tattoos?" / "Best post-hike beer: Bodhi or PBR?"
    Galen launched Hinge with his new dating photos...
     and met Ashley two days later.

    "There were fireworks between us from the very first date. We're talking about moving in together when our leases are up. Andrea, she's the one."

    Galen's results were fast, but otherwise not unusual.

    Totally normal. Most of my clients don’t love being photographed, aren’t big on social media, and haven’t had a good photo of themself in years, if ever.

    Your job is not to look cool, it's to show up as yourself and follow my lead.
