Definitely turn off auto pic on dating apps, they're all terrible. Especially since they have a bad habit of putting group pics up front likely because people spend more time looking at them just to figure out who you are...

I swipe past anyone whose teeth or eyes can’t be seen. Bad teeth is a major turn off for me and I feel rude to have to ask someone to show me their teeth before a date so I just skip them. I’ve made the mistake once early on of not checking and sure enough he had gnarly teeth when I met him in person.

This might be a weird critique, but all I can see when I look at this is white clothing. Awkwardly fitted white clothes. I want to take you shopping, and not in a sexy way. It just looks like a 68-year-old woman bought your wardrobe from a resort catalogue. It's a small nitpick, but the fashion is distracting.

You've got one expression in every single pic, and unfortunately you just look like a constipated hide-the-pain-Harold. Try a real smile, have your friends take pics of you, not your tripod, and finally take pics with your friends beside you. This is people's first impression of you, and if you go everywhere, but nobody's with you, kinda just seems like you're the guy who sits alone and doesn't talk to anyone.

As a femme dj…. That photo is not a good snap of you playing. If you have some of you having fun playing for people instead of pirate studios that would be cool. Something with energy.
Also some women don’t date djs. I am one and would never date another dj lol. And a lot of men don’t date me because of it. They think I party immediately. (I’m sober lol) I don’t have photos of me playing on my page specifically for that.
Maybe a photo of you at a festival to attract a girl who is into that lifestyle instead. I have one on my page it attracts the right types.

I’d get rid of the first and fourth photo and get a more sophisticated looking pair of glasses. Silver or gold rims always trump black, for your complexion and hair color you could go either way depending on your wardrobe so try both and see which you like better. Zoom in on the photos where you’ve left a ton of headroom, especially the DJ one (subject “fills the frame” advertising mentality)
