How Come I Look Really Different On Camera?

Question

My Skin Is Pretty Normal But When I had To "Pose" To Get My School Photo Taken by one of those dumb proffesionals my skin looks really red and unhealthy, why? none of the "Because your not photogenic" stuff because i already know that, i just want to know why an expensive proffesional camera and camera man the school decided to pay for still makes me look really red, like john prescott after he 69ed with the secratary in his fortress of bondage?

Answer 1

I take horrible photots to. I think its cause the angle, or the lightining

Answer 2

There are many, many, many things that could cause this, and there is really no point in trying to go into lots of technical detail here. It sounds as if incorrect white balance settings was the issue that caused the problem. The main thing is, this should be a very easy problem to correct. A very simple hue adjustment on the face portion of the photo could correct it in an instant. So if you like the photos except for the redness, tell them that. If they cannot fix it to your liking, then don't buy them. You are correct, however, in that they are supposed to be pros and really should not even be presenting you with poor qualtiy proofs.

rofl, you're funny

it could have been the way the picture was exposed... maybe they overdid the red hues.. might have been the flash bulbs they used... maybe the background ...

if you're unhappy with the picture, which you obviously are, contact the company and tell them so.. you may be able to go when they do re-takes...
