Answer 1

Posing and practicing are the worst things you can do !

being conscious about getting a picture taken puts people in odd state, maybe nervous tension, maybe trying  a pose that's fake, makes a bad picture.  

I love genuine and natural in people pictures, not poses !

Answer 2

Right before the picture check your clothes (collar, buttons, etc.), check your hair, if you wear makeup then freshen up your makeup (you might want to wear a little more than normal, not too much though), and practice your smile in front of a mirror (I know it sounds cheesy, but it works).

Answer 3

i think of something funny so my smile is real

Answer 4

In school pictures think of something that makes you smile or laugh. Otherwise you'll have a fake looking smile

Answer 5

Try non set up photos, more spontaneous life shots. A natural smile is worth more than a pretend one.  

Answer 6

love ur self n e ways...

smile..

never go n public w/o make-up

get a new b/f

Answer 7

fluff up your hair and laugh naturally.

Answer 8

maybe you're just not photogenic....

Answer 9

Stare at yourself in the mirror and try different smiles and decide which one is best

Also, when you smile, look at your eyes, sometimes they become small so you might want to try opening them a little while smiling

Your hair also counts

and pick what side of your face you like best- get a three sided mirror and look at yourself and decided which side is cuter

GOOD LUCK!

Answer 10

When you are taking pictures of yourself, do you hold the camera at arm's length and snap it?   If so, you will always have a bad picture, because when the camera is that close, it distorts your features.  

Have someone take the picture of you.  Have them stand back and zoom in.  Or set your camera on a tripod, or even a table a ways from where you are going to sit or stand, and then use the timer.  

Answer 11

Answer 12

well people always make a bad picture.

plus if you think you just don't take pictures

maybe its b/c you think all your pictures are not good

when they really are.

A lot of people do that.

but if you take pictures yourself, make sure they are in a good angle and good lighting..

Answer 13

practice n your mirror... so u kno evrytime u take a pic u make dat same face lol

Answer 14

Practice in the mirror. That's what I do because I don't think I have ever taken a good school picture (and I'm not the kinda person that always says I look bad in pictures) So just find a pose that you think looks good. Make sure the lighting is good too.
