How are you about taking pictures??

Post Reply New Topic

I really dislike taking pictures ever since I can remember and I also don't know how to take ones like others do, few days ago one of my classmates wanted to take a picture with me- I didn't want to take that picture but I took it anyway, I found it weird how my classmate was holding the phone and making a face people do in selfies- I never do those faces in a picture and I find it stupid and I think it ruins the picture, now when I see the picture posted I see how different I look from my classmate lol I'm only smiling normally while my classmate has that strange face Why do people like doing that in pictures? Do you do it?

I did some selfies a long time ago and hated them. I won't do any more. Plus I don't really like having my picture taken by others much. I guess pics of me make me feel exposed. This is the only one I've been willing to post in a while, because of the poor resolution.

I can't take selfies (I literally thought I was like the only person who couldn't haha), but I love being photographed. In fact, I actually have a love of modeling. It's so much fun.

I don't get the whole selfie duck-face look for girls. I like that it's made fun of by others and people have, for the most part, stopped doing it.

I don't take or post very many selfies anywhere EVER. I've noticed I look a little awkward in some and delete them until I snap one that looks OK. In part it can be my smile (too big) and my eyes. (avoiding eye contact with the camera?) I'm not always self aware of when I snap a terrible pic… I remember posting one to Facebook and then some people said I looked creepy - after taking a closer look at the pic, I think it was a combination of my smile, eye position, and camera angle.. it was just a crap pic lol.

But in general I don't mind having my picture taken by others at all and always smile for the camera. My twin brother, on the other hand, doesn't really like having his picture taken and never smiles w/ teeth showing unless he's laughing and it's a candid shot. Another (asd) friend of mine, who IMO is very photogenic, hates having his photo taken, too. I think it's a self conscious anxiety thing. Regardless, I accept and respect it.

No for supporting trump. Because doing so is deplorable.

I admit, I have a Snapchat account but I usually take photos and videos of stuff around me. I often dislike being photographed because when I try to smile, I always somehow grimace or have that faraway look in my eyes. I always have to widen my eyes too or I look half-asleep in photos without realising.

And being reminded of duckfaces reminds me of that "Duck Season" episode of Looney Tunes:

I actually like taking pictures and selfies. However, I won't take them without wearing one of my animal hats. I don't like the way I look at times, and this also makes it hard to take selfies often. That's why I'm not doing it constantly either. I usually do if I'm having a good day, or if I wanted to show off the shirt I'm wearing. Basically, I need a good reason for taken said selfie.

I have taken a few where i was quite "nice" but on almost every picture i am so noticeable uncomfortable that they can't be good. That's the main reason i hate taking pictures.

I tend to get aggressive when someone tries/threatens to photograph me.

Pictures are just reminders of how awful I look.

I dislike having pictures taken of me when I do not know they are taking one, or if I don't want my picture taken and they do it anyway. I'm fine with on my birthday and Christmas, but that's really about it.
