Do you like photgraphs of yourself?

Was speaking to a friend about this last night...

She reckons that most people look crap for photos unless they have lots of makeup. Especially if you are pale, and I am pale...

But she's a girl :p the reason being most people use a flash for pictures taken at night on a night out in a club. The flash directly hit the skin will make most people look more pale than they are. Hence her reason of the make up, get out in the summer sun, and take a picture without a flash and i promise you the photo will come out a lot more natural.
 
When I was ickle I wasn't too bad in a photo:

Not sure what went wrong when I grew up ;) :p
 
Go on laugh it up, I love this pic of me.

Don't think I've changed that much, a little more hair maybe...

I generally can't stand photos of myself. I have really low self confidence about how I look and really don't like my looks at all.
However I won't avoid a camera deliberately because I'd like some photos of me because I hope one day that I won't cringe at them.

I prefer group photos though, or photos of a few of us doing something silly and I'm in it. Good to look back on for memories. :)
 
Not overly keen on them. I think we are all modest beasts and in the main look at ways we can look better rather focusing on our good photgenic qualities
 
I don't know if I'm coming or going.

I still have those trainers.

I don't particulaly like pictures of me but baby ones are ok. I don't look anything like that now.
 
Dont mind pics of me being taken although if i had a choice id rather not have any taken of me. Was worse when i was a kid, now im not so bad at getting them taken.
 
I don't mind most pics of me but most of the time I don't really like them

I look too closely at them and am my own worst critic

I'm not camera shy and there are some that I do like but not that many :)

Awwww cute baby pics!!:D


How can you hate pics of you now, you love great in every pic!! :eek:

Thanks... I have always had a serious issue with my body image but I won't go in to the details of how it effected me. Despite the fact that I have modelled, therefore should know i'm not exactly ugly, I have always been extremely insecure about my looks. Actually if anything modelling contributed to my self loathing. :(
 
Cameras are Evil. I avoid them and have always been freaked out by a camera pointing at me. I even refused the chance to be on telly once. They got the cams out i legged it. :p
My Mug shot was on the news years and years ago. I was gutted wanted across the whole country and looked as ugly as i expected. :(
Cameras + Me = Run away Run away.
