Do you think it's possible to be good looking but not photogenic?

Question

This is slightly an opinion question, somewhat digging for fact. So...do you? Because personally I feel like an attractive guy, but I have having my picture taken because I don't think I take pictures well!

Answer 1

As a photographer, I know it is possible. Camera lenses and position and light all can change how you look. Too close a shot can show every pore in your skin, for instance. We are all more attractive from one angle than from another.

Answer 2

yeah, that is possible. i know lots of people who look better in person.

Answer 3

Yes I am like that! I think of myself as very attractive, but I tend to take horrible pictures!

Answer 4

Absolutely. People expect me to take a perfect picture and then when they look at the result they get confused. As long as my face is moving it's fine, static image though is a different story.

Answer 5

yes the camera can add pounds  i dont take good pix as well am prettier in person way  

Answer 6

Yeah, I know a lot of people who get all tense when they see a camera and make funny smiles, and even if you get them off guard, they still end up making the same funny smile, even if they have a beautiful smile without a camera around

Answer 7

I agree some people just don't take good pictures, and yes they can still be attractive in person.

Answer 8

In real life I look like Brad Pitt, but in photo's I have a beer belly, I'm bald and I'm covered in tattoo's. I just don't get it.

Answer 9

ABSOLUTELY! i know so many people who have this problem. personally, i think its a good thing. people who look at their pictures before meeting them are pleasantly surprised lol!

Answer 10

Definitely which is why I like being behind the camera and not in front of it.

Answer 11

Yes it deffiantely is...I am not naturally photogenic so I have to work at it and know what angles are right for my face.

Answer 12

definitely!
