Does anybody know if it is possible for someone who is not photogenic to be able to take a good picture? I hear all the time from friends, my boyfriend, my family, and random people off the street that I am beautiful. Some even have asked me if I have modeled before. But for some reason, I can not take a picture. It is driving me crazy. I really want to be able to take a good picture. Whenever I am with friends and they try to take a picture..they go, "I just don't understand..how can you be so pretty in real life and look so bad in a picture?" It is driving me crazy. Does anybody else have this problem? Is there a way to overcome this? Thanks so much!

You probably dont realize it but you probably change your smile for the picture, and etc. That is why most peoples school pictures turn out bad, because they know the person is taking a picture so they try to look good. Just have one of your friends take pictures of you during the day when you least expect it and Im sure they will turn out good. Good Luck!

I have found that hwne i am just like taking lots of pics with my friends just real quick and not really caring whats happening or how i look they come out better.
