If your looking for a soul mate, the first thing that he/she may see is your photograph. That one single item will cause that person to say no, maybe or yes. There are a lot of incredible people out there with horrible photos. As a photographer, let me help and provide some tips. Get someone to take your profile picture for you, an outstretched arm is not attractive, turn on the flash, choose a respectable darker background, and never have your chest square to the camera, (it makes you look wide). Turn your body at a 45 degree to the camera, look into the camera, and for goodness sakes light up those eyes and smile...LOL
