Any of these usable for tinder? A bit too posey in my opinion but what you guys think. Ugh, had to screenshot to make quality bad as possible so I could fit these here.

@mikkel I actually like the third one. Lighting and camera angle are on point, the composition is nice, and the pose doesn't feel too forced like in the second one. I'd say it's usable as a hiking pic yeah.

I like the 1st one the most, looks candid, like it was taken as you were gonna grab something in your backpack. Love the contrast between you (bright) and the background (dark), makes it easy to read. Also highlights your muscles without being a "hey look at me I'm puffed" kinda pic.

I wouldn't use them, first two ones are too posed, last one feels to feminine to me.
 
@mikkel What would help to decide is to see your current profile. We can debate on the usability of new pics all the time we want, but what matters is to see if it's an upgrade or a downgrade relatively to your current pics in your profile. Maybe you already have a better hiking pic? And how does your first pic look like?

This is my current profile (attachment)

Doesnt give me the results I want. So I'm still consistently looking for photo opportunities to update my photos.

Your current profile is way better. If you look for upgrades, I would go for a city headshot, to make the background less dull. But still make sure your head is still the main focus. An example can be the shot I took from @Crisis_Overcomer

For the rest, just keep taking a shitton of pictures and improve them while you can, the quality is already there, some just look a bit too posed, so try to be doing things while you are taking pictures so it's less staged. (if I'm making sense?)

Honestly looks like a great profile. I'd drop #1 and replace it with #4 following @ThelegendofJ 's advice, those pics are redundant in effect, and in general outdoor pics are better than indoor. Pic #5 would be great zooming in on you, I have no idea about the red/blue stuff on the side but it disturbs the readability of the pic.

Also, what results do you want? What's the size of the city you're based in, how many matches/likes do you get per week? If you got a problem with those pics I'd say your issue is somewhere else, not in the pics.
 
Hey guys, looking for some quick feedback on whether this would be a good shirtless pic to use for tinder etc.

Would be replacing this pic, an older one I've been using for awhile-
4- IMG_8307.JPG

Photofeeler comparison seems pretty clear but wanted to check here first, including if there's anything that could be done to further improve. Thanks! (BTW I have tried cropping in closer on the waterfall pic, it resulted in a lower score.)

Actually I guess I could use both, I was thinking one shirtless pic would be sufficient but open to suggestions
 
@Paid Renegade, that's a great photo. Drop it into lightroom and lower the highlights some, and bump up the shadows for the face just a bit. I'd also saturate the blue hues just a little bit. Otherwise excellent shot.

Good to know, thanks for the tips. When you say bump up the shadows, do you mean lighten those areas and then make the highlights darker? In the original photo the shadows were actually so harsh you couldn't see my face at all so I made my best guess trying to brighten it up.

This was taken on a beach date btw. My number one hack I discovered for tinder photos this year is to find a couple girls with cameras who are into photography and invite them out to do fun things and take photoshoots. Definitely made grabbing good photos 100x easier and less awkward than taking pics of yourself in public. And it's free, and you kill two birds with one stone because they're also fun dates.
 
I posted these in my thread but forgot to actually ask if I’m squinching right. First pic is normal, second is supposed to be squishing. How did I do?

Yeah, I'm also being overly nitpicky. If the original photo is as you say, then this is probably a huge improvement.
