You want love.

I know… and I’d like to help.

I’m Charlie Grosso, the premier online dating photographer in NYC.

The people you want to meet decide in seconds

I've spent 25 years in advertising learning what an image communicates and what it's worth — and the last decade photographing for exactly this. Let me help you be seen clearly.

  • From my research, Charlie was clearly the BEST photographer for this unique job. She is an incredible shooter. But her uncanny insight and empathy made potentially an awkward session incredible!!! She is THE BEST.

    Anthony, Age 32

  • I got the photos and they look fantastic! Thank you for making this whole process a breeze and stress-free. It was great to work with you and I am very happy with the experience. I'd be more than happy to refer you to anyone. Thanks again!

  • I've hired other photographers before. The difference between the service and Charlie's is night and day! I wish I had found Charlie earlier.

Why work with me


Why it’s different from the typical dating photo agencies

A woman's eye — the one you're actually trying to reach

You want a woman's point of view — the actual audience for your profile. Not a guy guessing at what she'll find attractive, but someone who's been on the other side of the screen making that call.

You get a pro, not a stranger

You work directly with me — not a random shooter assigned off a roster. Every session, start to finish, is someone who's done this for a decade and knows how to get you there.

I’m more than just a photographer

For 25 years I've worked in advertising and branding — for major brands, on campaigns where the right image was worth a great deal. Your dating profile is no different. I bring that eye, plus a decade spent photographing people for their profiles, to how you come across.

Real-life experience

I spent eight years dating in this city myself. I know what it's like to be on both sides of the screen — the one deciding whether to swipe, and the one hoping to be seen. That's a perspective you can't fake, and it's in every session.

Authenticity matters.

The most captivating dating profile photos have the effortless charm of candid moments captured by a friend, free from any hint of being staged or forced. Through my years of experience, I've honed my ability to create an easy rapport with my clients, allowing me to capture the real you. When I'm doing my job correctly, my presence fades away, leaving only your personality shining through the photographs.
