Online Dating Calendar ... A Year of Bad Choices
An Award-Winning Photographic Art Piece by Angela Hughes
A love letter to bad decisions and the men who inspired them.
In this limited-edition, award-winning art calendar, Master Photographer Angela Hughes dives headfirst into the absurd, cringeworthy, and occasionally endearing world of online dating one month at a time.
After braving the wild west of modern romance, Angela transforms her real-life dating encounters into a sharp, cinematic, and laugh-out-loud series of portraits. Each month features a tongue-in-cheek dating profile brought vividly to life, not by random strangers, but by industry legends and photography icons cast as these unforgettable “characters.”
The result? A clever fusion of art, humor, and heartbreak, a gallery quality satire of the dating pool, beautifully photographed and hilariously honest.

Angela Hughes, Master Photographer, Photographic Craftsman, National Speaker and Educator
In a world of endless swipes and filtered fantasies, photographic artist, Angela Hughes turns her camera toward the comically chaotic landscape of online dating and the men who inspired her to document it.
After navigating the minefield of modern romance firsthand, Hughes transforms her personal experiences into fine art with Online Dating Calendar – A Year of Bad Choices, a darkly funny and sharply executed photographic satire.
Each image features renowned photographers and industry legends cast as the unforgettable male archetypes of the dating world from “The Gym Bro Prophet” to “Mr. Still-Lives-With-His-Ex’s-Dog.” Through richly lit portraits and tongue-in-cheek profiles, Hughes exposes the absurdity, vulnerability, and humanity within every “bad choice.”
What begins as humor evolves into commentary: a striking reflection on how digital love reshapes identity, ego, and hope.
It’s an art piece that laughs with the viewer, because sometimes, healing looks like comedy lit beautifully.
Thank YOU!!!
A Note of Gratitude
This project began as a spark ... an idea born out of humor, heartbreak, and the messy beauty of human connection. But it became something far greater because of the people who believed in me when I wasn’t sure I believed in myself.
To those who supported my vision, who saw purpose and art in my laughter and chaos, thank you. Your faith carried me through the moments of doubt and turned hesitation into courage.
And to my incredible peers, the professional photographers who stepped into these roles with fearless trust and creative abandon, you breathed life into this satire. You transformed my stories into art, my experiences into imagery, and my vulnerability into something we could all laugh at together.
This calendar is not just mine... it’s ours. A reflection of collaboration, trust, friendship, and the kind of artistry that happens when we let go and lean into the story.
With deep gratitude and love,
