Professional dating profile photography for men in Manchester who want natural, confident and approachable photos for Tinder, Bumble, Hinge, Match and modern dating apps.

Most men simply do not have good photographs of themselves.
At Steve Lowrey Photography, I create relaxed, professional dating profile photos designed to help you look confident, approachable and genuine without looking fake, over-posed or heavily edited.
Based at Leigh Spinners Mill, Greater Manchester, the studio is easily accessible from Manchester, Bolton, Wigan, Warrington, Rochdale, Liverpool and Cheshire with free onsite parking available.

That is not the approach here.
My style is designed to create photographs that feel:

Many clients choose a mixture of both styles for variety across their dating profile.
Clothing matters more than most people think.
