Are you PHOTOGENIC?

No. I'm not photogenic. I look bad in pictures - a good reason why I don't take pictures too often (even if my friends insists) and why I always use another picture for all of my profiles. I feel that since I'm not exactly good-looking in a society's standards, I don't do too much and I don't attract attention to myself. This is also the reason why I am always quite hesitant to place my picture on a resume. I know that people nowadays are open-minded but I also know the people still judge other people due to their appearance. I know that it's not my fault when people don't find me beautiful but I always hope that they would judge me in other criteria beyond skin deep.

That would be a resounding no for me. I just don't look all that well in photos. I think that I can really see a handful of photos that I have ever taken in my life that have looked moderately presentable and they have all been when I was a child. Things are only going to get rather worse as I get older. I look at some of my photos from my teenager years and chills run down my spine. I'm sure that whoever took them did the best they could but you can only do so good when the person getting their picture taken is less than desirable. No photos taken for years. At least to my knowledge. There are a lot of times where I only look something resembling to be presentable when I am prepared. At least I can really just brace myself for the impact of my photo getting taken. Still I am far from photogenic. And I tend to avoid getting my picture taken like the plague. It seldom looks good and it is just a waste of valuable film.

I hate for my picture to be taken. I do not like they way I see myself in a photo. Pictures definitely make me look worse LOL.

I have never thought of myself as being photogenic. Taking a pleasing photograph has never been one of my talents. i am almost jealous of people who enjoy what they look like in a photograph. i wish i could be one of them.

I'm not photogenic either. But I don't wish to be photogenic that much. I'd rather look okay in person than in pictures. haha. I'm not conceited here, and I'm not saying I'm pretty in person, but really, I'd rather that people tell me, "You look better in person" than the alternative, don't you think? haha

Have you ever seen Celebrities without make up's, if not then just once look them with out make up and you won't feel your photographs awful again. No one is PHOTOGENIC in this world without some sort of make up, unless one got bit of make up he/she won't go out for Photography, isn't it ??

No...I hate having my picture taken and everyone knows it. I do have it taken when I am someplace special...if I didn't do scrapbooking I probably wouldn't though!

I do have tons of pictures of me and my children. I love taking photographs and I believe I am very photogenic. I especially like non posing photos, because the capture the real person as opposed to being prepared for them.

Sometimes my pictures look okay but sometimes they also look awful. What i usually do is that i try to pose on my best angle which means my best pose. As long as the pictures does not come out awful then that is fine with me. i have a friend though who just looks okay in person but in pictures she really looks beautiful even without make up on. I guess there really are people who look good in photographs.

I'm a guy and I wish I was photogenic as well. I'm not ugly and girls say I am quite cute as well, however I am quite thin and I look really awful in photographs. Especially in stolen shots, as well as shots taken side ways. I always resort to expanding my cheeks so I wouldn't look as thin. I couldn't even smile as well because I don't have a good set of teeth either. Most of my colleagues look good and cute on camera, and I always notice in group shots that I am always the odd one out. Sigh.. Anyway, I just use Photoshop to tweak the pictures a bit just to look good. But naturally, I'm not photogenic at all. I'm not even that confident in front of the camera. Some people are just naturally gifted. They not only look good, they also look good on pictures as well.
