Do you like being photographed?

[Sweetener12]

I'm not a big fan of taking pictures of myself, I don't do many selfies (about 3 per year, that's it), and I don't like myself in the pics that other people take. My friend keeps telling me I'm just being too hard on myself and I'd love the photos if they were taken by a professional but idk, does it really work like this? Are there people who also don't like getting pictures of themselves?

I don’t but I look nothing like I do in real life on photos.

If I’m not wearing fake tan I look ill.

Same with цре Fluffycloud had said. I need to apply a good amount of Photodiva to look better in the pics. I like selfies, tho, because the front camera gets rid of all the skin imperfections.

Ooops, sorry! Same with what Fluffycloud had said! Ah, my beloved keyboard.

I hate it with a passion. I can manage being photographed by a real camera with a proper lens, but in random phtoes with phone I look horrible. I do think though that people take no care in composition or distance.

I have read it does help if you "know your angles" and know how to pose. Frankly I can't be bothered with that.

Don't be too disheartened, though. A lot of people who look good in selfies take thousands of them, do loads of editing, play with light, and all sorts of monkey business.

Not ones where I have to pose, I look hideous. I feel awkward too. Natural ones look so much better, ones taken when I am unaware.

No one takes my photograph anyway so never bothers me

Hate it. Utterly hate it, possibly phobic, I avoid it at many costs.

I am much better looking in real life, photographs don't do me justice at all . Even if I look in a mirror, think I look great and then immediately take a photo, I look rubbish in the photo. Dont understand it. I think some folk are just photogenic and some not I guess..
