OPW - July 12 - LookBetterOnline.com, the online dating photo service, investigated using Walmart photo studios for online dating... A Walmart photographer will take a portrait picture for just a few bucks When it comes to photography, people get what you pay for. When you’re sitting for a dating site photo:
- the environment should be relaxed and comfortable so that you’re looking happy and content. (That doesn’t happen in Walmart.)
- the pose should be natural and casual so that the viewer will feel at ease with you. (Those aren’t the poses that Walmart photographers have the time – or skill -- to produce.)
- you should have a variety of images to choose from. (Walmart photographer will take 9 photos only)
- the photos must be digital so you can upload them. (Walmart will give you prints. If you want digital, it’s $80 per image or $200 for the nine. That’s not nickels any more.)
Take a look at the video below, LookBetterOnline.com took of a typical Walmart photo shoot and decide for yourself.
