Holman Photography

I finally wrote the article I have apparently been researching unintentionally for years.

After photographing dating profiles for clients and navigating the apps myself, I realized I kept having the same conversations over and over:
Which apps actually work?
Do you need to pay?
Why do profiles recycle endlessly?
Why are there so many fish photos?
And why does every group shot feel like a hostage negotiation?

So I put together a practical (hopefully funny) guide to dating apps over 50 from both sides of the camera: photographer and participant.

The article covers:
• Hinge, Bumble, Tinder, Match, eHarmony, Facebook Dating, Zoosk and more
• free vs. paid versions
• dating app burnout
• safety and privacy
• AI and dating apps
• profile photos that help (and ones that absolutely do not)
• and a few notes for the men out there :)

Also included: examples of hilariously bad dating profile photos, because honestly… we have all seen them.

As a photographer, being trusted to capture the genuine reactions of a marriage proposal, the nervous laughter, and that first “YES” is always an honor. It is never just a photo. It becomes part of a couple’s history.

If you are thinking about proposing — or helping someone plan it — I put together a practical guide with ideas to help the moment feel thoughtful and personal (even if your heart is racing).
