Frequently Asked Questions
How long until my optimized assets are ready?
Your complete, edited image gallery will be delivered for deployment within 5−7 business days.
Is this really a "formula," or just good photography?
It's both. Great photography is the tool, but the formula is the blueprint.
A great chef can cook anything, but they follow a specific recipe to get a consistent, perfect result. We do the same for your profile.
I hate having my picture taken and I'm awkward on camera. Can you really help me?
Yes. In fact, about 99% of our clients say this exact thing.
"Being photogenic" isn't a trait you're born with; it's a result of comfort and expert guidance. Our entire system is designed for men who aren't professional models. We use specific, technical direction, not vague commands like "act natural" to make you feel comfortable and look your absolute best. We guarantee you won't feel awkward.
This is a big investment. What if it doesn't "work" for me?
We get it, and the best way we can answer that is by asking you to look at our reviews. You’ll see dozens of success stories from real men who started in the exact same place you are now.
Our definition of "working" is giving you the absolute best possible tool to succeed. We can't force a connection, but we can build you a profile that is strategically designed to attract the right people and give you the highest possible probability of success. Just like it did for them.
I’m over 40. Is this service still for me?
yes, absolutely. We adapt the entire process for our more established clients.
The goal shifts from showcasing potential to showcasing a rich, established life.
We focus on locations, wardrobe, and editing styles that highlight maturity, sophistication, and confidence.
We’ll make you look like a man at the top of his game, not someone trying to compete with guys in their 20s.
Where do the shoots take place in Chicago?
We choose locations based on the unique story we're telling for you.
We map this out during our strategy call, but common routes include a mix of neighborhoods like the West Loop for an urban-cool vibe, Lincoln Park for natural settings, and the Gold Coast for a more polished, architectural feel. We always avoid the main tourist traps.
Yes, absolutely! We love incorporating pets into shoots as they are a fantastic way to showcase your personality.
The most important step is to bring it up during our planning call. This allows us to discuss the specifics of your pet (whether it's a dog, cat, or something more unique) and ensure we choose a location that is both safe for them and suitable for the shoot.
I have a specific hobby (e.g., sailing on Lake Michigan, bouldering, playing guitar). Can we build the shoot around that?
Yes, definitely. In fact, we encourage it. Incorporating your genuine hobbies is the single best way to create a profile that is authentic and sparks conversations.
Tell us all about your passions on our strategy call, and we can design the entire shoot around that activity, ensuring we capture you in your element.
What happens if there's bad weather on our scheduled shoot day?
We monitor the forecast closely leading up to your shoot. If it calls for heavy rain or other prohibitive conditions, we will connect with you to reschedule for the next available date that works for both of us. There is no fee for weather-related rescheduling.
