Dating Profile Photo: The Pastel outfit Portrait

The Place Colbert, Rochefort register

A naval town's arcaded square in Rochefort, repainted for a musical in 1966 and still wearing it: sugar pink, lemon, sky blue and mint, with a transporter bridge nearby and a fair in the square. It is the town of twin sisters, photographed today in its pastels. The light is bright Atlantic light.

She wears a lemon shift dress with a pink ribbon in her hair, so the blue and mint stay on the walls. One frame is head and shoulders against a pink arcade pillar with the neckline of the dress; one is chest-up in the arcade with blue and mint facades soft behind; one is half-length in the square with the pastel town around her.

What comes out is photographic: nine photos of you, three in each of three settings, in the look of the arcaded square of Rochefort, painted in pastels. The place and the wardrobe are borrowed as a setting; the photos are portraits of you, not pictures taken there.

How to photograph yourself for a pastel outfit dating photo

Better source photos make better portraits. An ordinary phone photo is enough, and a few habits sharpen the likeness.

1. Even, soft lightStand near a window with daylight on your face. Avoid overhead bulbs and phone flash, which flatten a face.
2. Front or three-quarter angleCamera at eye level, facing it or turned slightly. No shot from below, no stretched arm.
3. Face fully clearHair off the face, no sunglasses and no filters. A clear, front-facing phone selfie is the best starting point.
4. A natural expressionA relaxed, genuine smile or a calm look carries over best. Avoid a stiff pose.
5. A plain background is fineDo not worry about your own backdrop. The pack replaces it entirely.
