Frequently asked questions
The New York Hinge Company is a dating service helping busy professionals improve their photos, prompts, and messaging on Hinge.
We review your current photos and prompts, explain what is helping or hurting your profile, and give you a clear set of changes to make. We also discuss whether a full profile build-out makes sense for you. If you move forward, the cost of the audit is applied toward it.
We spend a day with you taking photos around New York City, selecting the strongest shots, and finetuning your profile setup. After launch, we continue helping you interpret results and navigate messaging so you can build the intuition to handle conversations yourself. Skip months of iterative work by jumpstarting onto a working profile.
Yes. Every profile build-out begins with an audit call so we can understand your current profile, discuss your goals, and confirm that the service is a good fit. The cost of the audit is applied toward your build-out.
Feel free to contact us whenever. We have soft limits to ensure that our current clients receive support but we can provide ad hoc services where reasonably possible.
Only if you want to complete a profile build-out. If you are located elsewhere, we offer our profile audit.
You may cancel your initial profile audit call with a minimum one business day notice.
Our philosophy
Most dating app photographers are trained to make people look professional.
But it's the entirely wrong problem to solve for.
We don't approach shoots like traditional portrait sessions. We are not trying to create the cleanest possible image with the nicest lens and the most technically perfect lighting.
The point is not to make you look like you hired a photographer or paid for ChatGPT.
The point is to create images that feel like they were caught naturally by a friend with unusually good timing and taste.
You could get these photos by accident over several years on enough vacations, dinners, parties, parks, and random rooftops. A competent friend might eventually capture those perfect one-in-a-thousand images where everything beautifully aligns.
Or, you can just hire us.
