    I'm very unphotogenic. Any time a camera is pointed at me I get really nervous and tense up until it gets pointed away.

    I am very photogenic, but absolutely hated getting in front of the camera because I was so heavy (see my picture below...)

    Now, I'm a camera hog! :D What you see is what you get in real life too.

    I am not at all photogenic. I hate having my picture taken.

    I also always look fat in photos. Even though I am not. I look much bigger than I am. To the extent that last year I showed someone some of my recent holiday pictures and they said "Wow, you've lost SO much weight since then!" I pointed out it was last week......
  • I am hard to get pictures of since I'm a gargoyle. I'm better drawn anyways.

    1 out of a million pictures, it take so many trial and error photos before I can settle on one that I actually like... Ugh and I don't like full body shots.. I'm tall and completely thick and it doesn't look flattering at all...I got lucky with my profile picture that I kind of settled on after a dozens of FAILED AND UNPHOTOGENIC shots lol..
  • Nah I'm not the photogenic type. I pretty much hate every photo taken of me when someone else takes them. When I take pics of myself, I'll like a few of them at least.
  • I take ok photos, when I take them myself. Because then I can control the angle. And this is just for the face shots. Body shots are a nightmare and really don't exist right now because they scare me.

  • It's funny how all of you that are saying that you're not but have profile pics!

    I am not. AT ALL.

    This picture here... taken by a highly skilled professional photographer, assisted by $400 worth of hair and makeup.

    Seriously... not photogenic at all.

    Oh my goodness....do not even get me started on my pictures! Lol I am so not photogenic..the only reason I have pictures is cause my friends or family make me take pictures!! (My profile picture is when I got my hair cut and my mother wanted to take a picture of it :grumble: ) And I'm no better in real life. As you can see, I have no self-confidence whatsoever lol. Maybe that will change when I lose all the weight that I am wanting to lose.

    I am pretty photogenic. I generally know how to take a good picture. Although, I will say that since losing weight my face is more pointy and I have to be careful of angles more. I take horrible photos of myself, again it's about the angles.

    Lucky for me I look damn sexy covered in mud too.

    I love your avatar picture, it has such personality. It is greatness.

    For me it depends on the day, lighting, outfit, etc. It's highly subjective.

    Unphotogenic when someone is taking a photo of me randomly, especially from the side (my profile is chubbier no matter how much weight I lose - ANNOYING).

    Why do friends always do that?! It's like, thanks, it's bad enough that I have this hangover from your party and now I have to untag twenty photos of me halfway through a sentence or pulling some stupid double-chin face while dancing :tongue:

    But I can strike a good pose if I'm ready.

    Being the self-centered and modestly handsome *kitten* that I am, I would say I'm pretty photogenic.

    Seeing me in person would probably make you cream your panties.
