Taking Photos (I am severyly unphotogenic :c )

[sigma]

i am very unphotogenic. i wish my bathroom mirror could take screenshots. people say that i am significantly more attractive in real life than in photos. i am sad :c
i know some frauding techniques like squinting, cheek biting, jutting, playing with lighting, etc, but it feels fake and forced. i look silly when i squint and mildly cheekbite. i need genuine tips.
also i dont use filters and i likely never will, so that suggestion is down the drain

thanks for the advice pooks

Pics on your phone are overrated

The lense always distorts your face, making you look completely different, pictures themselves not taken by photographers suck; they’re out of context instants, they take a single part of a bigger thing and don’t let us take in the whole moment

The mirror is more important because that’s what you genuinely look like in real life (at least in that lighting)
Don’t stress it, models are photogenic because their job is posing for pictures, and they’re always working with masters of photography

How Lens Compression and Perspective Distortion Work

We've talked about this before on Fstoppers, but there still seems to be some debate about lens compression. Let's dive a little deeper into perspective distortion. We all know that if you shoot a portrait of someone's face up close with a wide angle lens, their face will be distorted and the...
