Requesting an Unscripted Photo to Test Authenticity : Countering Photo Hesitancy

Requesting an Unscripted Photo to Test Authenticity is the direct counter to Photo Hesitancy: A request for a simple new photo (holding up a written word, a specific pose) is met with delay, excuse, or a repeat of an old photo. Ask for a simple, specific, unscripted photo (a particular pose, a handwritten word) and track how it's handled.

Steps

  1. 01

    Request something specific and hard to substitute from an existing photo set.

  2. 02

    Give a reasonable window, then notice whether the response is a new photo, an excuse, or an old photo repeated.

  3. 03

    Treat repeated deferral of this specific request the same way as a refused video call.
