I often wonder at unattractive people who pose into camera photographs. If you are in your thirties, have very little hair on your head and a fairly large belly, then no matter how genially you look into the camera, it doesnt matter. Why is it that these very people are often quite fond of having their pictures taken, even insist on others taking them?
People judge photographs on appearance, thats it. Nobody looks at a photo to guage one’s inner beauty.
Why then bother straightening your collar or perfecting a camera smile? Do they think it helps people overlook their glorious shining tinds? Does the smile make their bellies any less bouncy?
Not to suggest that Im a looker myself, but at the very least I have the decency to let good looking people take center stage instead of ruining another photograph.
LOL. I don't think its about that at all, depends on why the photo is being taken. If they guy wants to have his pic taken in front of the Eiffel Tower, let him - those are his memories and for his family to see. I don't agree with you Rav, photos are not taken purely for vanity and to appreciate a person aesthetically.
attractiveness is relative isn't it.
the way you may not want balding or overweight ppl to be in your pictures, some real studs and babes may not want you in their pictures and may say the same about you.
and who knows, the people who you consider unattractive may be looking down similarly at others.
such is life.
it also depends on how you see pictures as, an exercise in artistry or as a record of an event. if the person you consider unattractive is at the center of the event or an important part of it. e.g. the 90 year hunched up daadi of a groom at a wedding, then like it or not, she will be at the center stage and not the good looking 20 year old who is the groom's highschool classmate's sister typa of deal.
abey ravage yaar, hosla kar ! our exercise kia kar dil laga kar. You are still young, you can reduce the excess fat from your body … then you will fit into the frame easily :k:
catty this isnt about people posing before the eiffel tower. this is about a middle aged uncle getting his picture snapped in a restaurant, and changing his expression to one of thoughtful benevolence right when the picture is snapped. this is also about a couple of my relatives, who no doubt I take after, who insist on sitting through atleast half of the movie session at a wedding.
fraudia, i disagree. for some people, no matter how relative you try to make things, ugliness is absolute. there is no harm in accepting that, in my opinion. now, supposing I were one of those people, I would certainly not impose on the photographs, and even if I were in a photograph I wouldnt try to salvage the blows nature has dealt me with. I agree about the ninety year old grandmother, but as I said to catty.. im not talking about particular situations here.
how meannnnnnn!!!
