Not photogenic?

I am told i look better then my pics:bummer:

I am up for a photo session at a studio today. It makes me nervous already.
So girls, any tips and tricks for getting photographed(not at studio). I want some collection.

Re: Not photogenic?

Smileeeeeeeeeeee :p

LOL I get told the same thing. There are some people who say I look better in pics. Whereas, some say I look much better in real.

Re: Not photogenic?

practice smile and different poses on the mirror

You SHOULD be told the same thing, cuz i lost you in kum ka mela:p

I met a friend from a forum once, and the first thing he says 'oh you look prettier then your pics':@ Makes me want to have a nice collection of pics. But i think the artistic streak is missing:(

the poses didnt turn out the same. :(

Re: Not photogenic?

awww:hugz:

I am not photogenic either.I take No pics so NO worries:cb:

Re: Not photogenic?

Hahahaahah oh yes the kum mela how could I forget? :cb:

jalpari take ideas from your friends pics on facebook or even get them to guide you. Google around! Bridal poses na banana plz :stuck_out_tongue:

I forgot to mention something do you which is your good side? Everyone has a good and a bad side of their face. I prefer my right side. I was watching NKS once and she was talking about it. Maybe you aren’t happy with your pics because you don’t know your angle? :hmmm: First take pics from your cell phone to side which ones come out better from which angel before going for a proff shoot.

Re: Not photogenic?

Exactly, smile. Act natural. Don't feel tense. It's just a photoshoot. No one is going to shoot you or something. Don't listen to the people who say you are not photogenic or don't feel that way. A good photographer will make you look photogenic no matter what. Wear clothes you are comfortable in and also wear appropriate makeup etc. Enjoy your shoot.

Bridal poses look hawwttt:p Only if i have a hottie by me:bummer: LOL.
I have good pics from all the sides. Its just only a few turn out good outa large number:(
lol FB is a good idea. I am gonna try:p

No one else says i am not photogenic. I say:bummer: Maybe i am camera conscious:(

Re: Not photogenic?

Yeh it could be that.

Re: Not photogenic?

y dont u pose in the mirror .... tu make urself comfortable ..... ur first tym studio pix?

Re: Not photogenic?

ah.. same here,, i look better in real than in pics.. but i guess just be yourself, natural a nice smile and agree with dubaiwali, the photographer should make you look good :)

Re: Not photogenic?

find the angle that makes you look best. Try posing with all different angles till you find the best one. I always thought i wasnt photogenic either till I found the right angle and then all of a sudden ppl think I look like a model when really...its just an angle thing...

Re: Not photogenic?

practice posing in the mirror. practice different smiles etc. be confident that you'll look good inshallah. your photographer should help you though.

Re: Not photogenic?

Right Iyla

Re: Not photogenic?

don't worry, I know many really pretty girls who just don't look the same in pics. Good contouring also helps define face cuts and make a person look more photogenic ;)

Re: Not photogenic?

I agree with whoever said everyone has a good side! My right side is a gazillion times than the left :D It's like looking at two different people.

A trick I learnt was to put a foundation the same colour or very slightly darker around the edges of your face, and something slightly lighter around the centre, i.e. under your eyes. Make-up makes such a difference.
