Its because of the flash its very flat, something you can do is to use your hand and just "bounce" it away or something, I think it will give you a more orange-ish color!. just don't cover the flash with the hand, like cup it or something so it don't touch the flash!.!. I've tried it with my SLR and it works!.

If you are using an SLR - try diffusing a flash, like using a mirror to bounce the light or you know some tissue over it!. I think you can also set it to portrait mode where they'll enhance your skin tones, try playing around with the flash, cause should be the main cause of your "pastey" color

If thats you in the picture, then you look good :)Www@QuestionHome@Com

If your camera has exposure compensation, you can adjust for your lighter skin tone by underexposing 1/3-2/3 stop!.

If you are talking about flash photographs, you can soften the flash on your camera by adding one ply of a 2 ply tissue over the flash!. This helps diffuse the light and cuts down on the strength of the flash!. Both factors will help bring your skin tones down!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

yes, you can edit the photograph by decreasing values for brightness and shadows, and adding saturation!. if you do not have editing software, try taking photographs further back from you to eliminate overflashing!. photographing in a brighter setting may also eliminate the camera's tendency to overcompensate the darkness by adding more flash!. i edited your photo to improve it, but answers does not allow for me to paste it here, sorry!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Don't have the camera so close to you!. Have someone stand back a ways, and zoom in!. That way, the flash won't be so close to your face!. Everyone gets a washed out look when the flash is too close!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
