Whenever you see a camera, what comes to your first thought? Would you like to be the one that modeling and posing for a nice photograph, or you prefer to be the one who hold the camera and instruct someone to model for your photo, instructing them on the composition, telling them what do you want to express in the photo, etc ... ...

Well, it is better to take the camera in your hand and be a photographer rather than thinking of becoming a model. If you become a model, no one may hire you. If you become a photographer, models would hire you and you can charge them more amd more! It is as simple as that. Do not take risk of becoming a model.

I don't mind fiddling with a camera but to be honest, I don't fancy either role. I know I hate being in the limelight, so to speak. When I was young and my parents brought me to tour the world, my Dad loves to take pictures of me. I hate it, I would run off and make him angry (not intentionally of course lol). Even when I grow up, I just become more acceptant of having photos taken on me. Just the basics, not excessive shots. As for me being the photographer, I still need more training. Not the best photographer around but you can't really blame me since I haven't found any need to even own a camera all these years. The closest would be my camera phone. ;-)

I would rather and almost always am the one who is taking the photos in my famiy...finding photos of me is difficult because I like to save the "memories" and always have a camera with me.... I do not mind having my picture taken ...I know some peoplw sho really hate it when someone tries to take their picture...I am not one of them! It just seems that I always am the one who thinks to bring a camera....love my digital camera....it holds so many photos and I can download them too my computer and save them or print any of them that I want to.....plus I can email them to my family that lives in other states.

I would almost always choose to be the model because I love posing for the camera. Sometimes all the lighting and settings of a camera can be frustrating for some photographers. As for me...I just be free and wait for the flashes! I love it!

For me I choose the camera over being in the pictures. I have always loved taking pictures and I think it is fun. You can be so creative with the shots you take.
