Poll: Photogenicism...

[Cozmo1]

Searched, Found, was old, starting again, there would probably be more people arrived since feb '09.

So easy premise... do you consider yourself photogenic? me, only really if I know the photo is comming, like when I do modeling or something... lets make it easier... here is my photo album...

In the ones I pose in, I think I look good, in the random ones some person took at college... not so...

you people?

I'm not very photogenic, posed or natural. I just have one of those faces, is all. Sometimes I'll take a decent picture, but not often. Usually the decent pictures are from around Halloween or anime con time, when I'm dressed up in a costume. XD

 

[Frequen-Z]

God no, my smile is often crooked and I look about 13 years old wearing glasses. Which I need to wear all the teim.

 

[Griphphin]

Not posed, but I fix that by looking hilariously bad when I pose if it's not something important. I'm not so bad looking natural, so 50/50.

 

[PureChaos]

i don't think i'm photogenic, even when i'm in a suite. i don't mind my photo being taken but i rarely find a picture where i like the way i look

 

[Kei Kaemon]

In no way am I photogenic. Heavens, cameras run away from me in fear.

 

[Shockolate]

For me, it depends whether I have a full head of hair. Trichotillomania and whatnot.

I also always have a relaxed half smile very any and every photo.

 

[Camembert]

Ha, this thread makes me chuckle.

Anyway, it seems that sometimes I look fantastic in photos, and at others I look more hideous than I could have imagined possible. It works out about 50/50.

By the bye, two other things - firstly, it seems your photographs are set to private; secondly, do you think it's wise to put your Facebook page on this site for all to see?

Edit: My God, your excessive posing was enough to make me blush. Put it away, for fuck's sake.

 

[thethingthatlurks]

I believe HELL NO would be the best way of answering that question. Not that I am particularly keen on being in pictures in the first place

 

[DerpyDerpyDerp]

I'd say I like about a quarter of the pictures I am in. No one has ever brought it up with me either, so I am assuming I'm not far off, haha.

 

[PrototypeC]

I said, "yes" but I predict that as the thread gets more and more people, the general percentage of "yes" to "no" will pretty much stay the same.

 

[Who Dares Wins]

I always end up looking like a moron, so I rarely take pictures.

 

[GrinningManiac]

I don't care, but I went through a period in my childhood where I smiled with my lips because I felt my teeth-smile looked stupid. These days I smile with my teeth like normal.

I do get a feeling, when looking back at photos, that I look kinda boring compared to other people, who are doing wacky things in the photo whilst I just smile and stand.

Meh, I don't care if someone's taking a photo, though

 

[Ironboot]

Well, depends on what I'm doing. I also think that my definition of "looking good in photos" is slightly different from others' since I like looking crazy!

Spoiler: Looking fucking stupid

WHY AM I SHOWING THIS TO PEOPLE?

Spoiler: Looking awesome

 

[child of lileth]

I don't really have much of a problem with how pictures of myself turn out if I'm not the one taking them. I just never take pics of myself.

 

[anthony87]

Well you guys tell me. This is an unposed photo of me that a friend took.

Spoiler

I swear to god that really is unposed, I have no idea what the hell I'm doing...

And this is a posed photo;

Spoiler

If you're inclined to look then feel free to tell me if I'm photogenic or not.

 

[Hurray Forums]

I suck at being in pictures and I suck at taking them. A lot of modern cameras are really confusing, I need a digital camera designed for morons.

Well you guys tell me. This is an unposed photo of me that a friend took.If you're inclined to look then feel free to tell me if I'm photogenic or not.

First one is awesome. I also have no idea what the heck you're doing but you seem to be having fun doing it ^_^.

 

[Ham_authority95]

I don't really care how I look in a photo unless its for something professional(I.D, promotional, etc etc)

 

[Quaxar]

I normally hate photos of myself. Posed ones are the worst, but other ones are nearly as bad because I tend to do weird things at the moment they make a photo of me.

If you're inclined to look then feel free to tell me if I'm photogenic or not.

On the second picture, in the right light and with brown hair you might be mistaken for Ewan McGregor. May the Force be with you.

The second one looks like you stuck a fork in the toaster. And it is AWESOME.

OT: I'm rarely photogenic. I have random moments of success, such as this picture of me as the Maddest March Hare in real life.

Spoiler: Go on, click. You know you want to

And yes, that is my hat.

[HEADING=2]Fuck Yeah![/HEADING]I am wholly aware of how much of a twat I look. And I don't care.
