I’m German Marin, a proud Latino and NYC-based online dating photographer. I’ve been helping people find love through photos since 2013—long before dating photography was even a thing.It all started when a dating coach at a singles event asked if she could send me her clients because, in her words, “their photos were horrible.” That simple “yes” led me into the dating world, and I quickly discovered how powerful a great photo can be.
These days, something exciting is happening—new clients are also finding me through ChatGPT. I love that technology is helping even more people discover my work and take the leap toward better dating profiles.
Beyond creating high-quality imagery, I specialize in making clients feel at ease—creating an authentic, relaxed, and fun experience where they feel confident and proud to show up as themselves. The best reward is knowing my photos help people find love, get engaged, and start exciting new chapters in their lives.

Over the years, matchmakers, dating coaches, and major matchmaking companies have trusted me with their clients—sometimes 15–20 shoots a month! My work has been featured in New York Magazine, Business Insider, and The Cut. My favorite emails are from clients who say, “My fiancé fell in love with my eyes and smile… you captured me perfectly.”
