I really hate having my picture taken by anyone other than myself. When my friends are taking pictures of each other, I look deliberately stupid so I can say "I look awful; at least it was on purpose". I hate school photos as well because I never feel like smiling when I have been dragged out of an important lesson to have some strange person attempt to make me look acceptable and then take a photograph.

I don't mind having my picture taken, but my dad says I have always had a real goofy-looking smile.

I hate getting my picture taken. I have since I was a baby, before I could even crawl. I always look stoned or pissed off in my pictures, even when I am happy.

I really dislike my picture being taken. I don't look good.

I'm not reallya big fan of being photographed, though I will sit for a photo if asked. Not too many photographs of me exist, and there are fewer of them that I actually like. A pet peeve of mine is being photographed without permission. --If the photographer is unlucky, they get picture of me giving them The Finger.

My photos come out okay, but they weird me out. Kind of like mirrors. I don't like it when I get the feeling a disembodied me is staring back at me. It's too strange.

Even when I think a picture of me might just be good, it always ends up looking awful. I dislike getting my picture taken anyway because it creeps me out when I look at an image of myself.

Hate it.
And I do not generate good pix either. I have all the tech stuff down, but give me a Rolleiflex TLR and I will wander around a long time to find the absolutely worst place to spot it.

Same here. Given a chance I will sneak away when someone is taking a photo, unless I'm dragged back.

I hate getting my picture taken, I get so nervous, makes it impossible to smile or at least look good.
I have to go to the Photographer's place today

I don't mind the actual process of being photographed. It's just the end result that always annoys me. Cameras hate me, they always make me look like a twat.
