I am very photo cautious. I do not know whether that is the right word to explain the frustrating tendency of mine. When someone asks me for having a click I feel a lot shy. I do not know what thing obstructs me. I due to being over cautious fail to give a normal expression for the snaps. It results in absurd photographs of mine which further demotivates me to come on front of camera anymore. I have had suggestions not to over react and control your nervousness, etc but I fail to realize it to an extent where I can implement it on me. Hope your suggestions will be of some help to me. Thank you

There are many people who don't enjoy having a photo taken. It might be a phase for you, where someday, it will no longer be a problem.
I'm okay with having my picture taken, but sometimes when I see the photo, I want to delete it.
We all have moments when we are photogenic.
Allow it to be as it is for now and know...
that someday you might feel better about it.

That is a good advise. Perhaps I should wait a little. Also I had a very less exposure of the world of cameras and photos as I did not a camera of my own. I have seen people with cameras more confident behind as well as front of it. I find your words of quite importance. Thank you

Hehehe.. Perhaps you mean you're "camera shy". There are people like that. I used to be like that - well I still am to some extent. I don't always have good photos but I have learned to have better.
There are a lot of tips for these things, but like anything else it only takes practice so that you can overcome "stagefright" hehe.. Perhaps you could try taking photos of yourself to look for which angle you look good. Another would be looking at yourself in the mirror and looking for your "good side". Soon, you'll get the hang of it.
Have a great MyLot experience ahead!

Hi,
I am not photo cautious. There is nothing to shy or cautious for photograph. Photo is the image of you and why to shy for our image. You should consider you as special and shouldn't have any inferiority complex. I think you lack some confidence. Now, don't avoid the snaps, you will be used to it.

Oh why? Taking a picture feels like facing a mirror. You don't have to be cautious nor shy. You should just have an idea in mind as to how you would want to look like when you've seen its hard copy. Being nervousness wouldn't help you out, you have to relax,stay calm and most importantly, wear a smile. You don't have to have varied poses yet. Practice smiling first in front of a mirror then, do so in front of a camera. Hoping that you'd get it done and see how successful it is. Good luck!
