Anyone else hate their smile?

[Eastie77]

I honestly think it ruins pictures of me. I can't seem to project a 'nice' or natural smile. Someone once told me to do a fake laugh when I'm having a picture taken and that produces a natural grin. I've tried and it's marginally better than my fixed smile but not by much

My DS has always struggled with this. He looked like Chandler in that Friends episode whenever he tried to smile. It works best for him to just not try, so maybe you are trying too hard? Have you tried ignoring the camera and just smiling at someone in the distance?
