do you consider yourself to be photogenic?you look better in photos than in person or the opposite is true?do you like photos in the first place? me?i think that i look awful in photos although i am said to be pretty in person,i also like the way people look in person better,something about photos doesn't make me comfortable,they lack the spirit effect,when i like someone's look i like their smile,the look of their eyes,the expressions of their features according to their different reactions....not only their still image...what about you?

I consider myself a camera runner, I run away when there's a camera. If I find a picture of myself on my camera taken by my hubby or kids I delete it. Everyone knows I don't having my photo taken and some will try to sneak a picture but I'm usually on the alert at family gatherings. As for other people in photos, I do prefer to see people in real life. Pictures can lie, someone may happy but be sad, or opposite. You can't see their smiles, you can't hear their voices. The only good part of pictures is that you can share them with people you don't have the chance to see very often because they are too far away. They are also a great way to keep memories alive.

hello i am always told that i am a pretty woman and when i look in the mirror i am always very satisfied but when i see pictures of myself sometimes i say--thats not me-i really don't look the same in photos as i do in person-i do have a few nice photos that i have been satisfied with but not too many-lol-i think its the person taking the camera-the mood-the scenery and the actual camera itself

Hi there dolcias! I do consider myself to be photogenic. I think I do look better in my photos than in person. Not that I look totally different in person as compared to my pictures. It's just that I guess certain imperfections can be hidden that's why. But then again, when I look at myself at the mirror, I realize that is what I like to see -- the real me.

The only photos I look good on are the one I take myself. I just hate the way I turn out on photos, can't even look at them. And I am a good looking person in person lol :)
