Question: How can you be more confident in photos!?
I know I probably think that I look bad in 90% of my photos, but what can I do to make myself look more confident without thinking too much about how bad I look!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

That is a very normal reaction to seeing your picture!. I was a company photographer for years, and took plenty of group shots, portraits, and everything in between!. I would say about 95% of the people thought they looked bad in their pictures, but found nothing wrong with everyone else's!. I heard it every time!.

Cameras see you exactly the way everyone else does!. Do you worry about looking bad when you're with family, friends, or in a crowd!? Probably not!.

When someone else looks at your picture, they'll think it looks perfectly normal!. That's because it IS perfectly normal!. Problem is, you never see yourself as others do, and therefore think you look out of place!. And you'll always find fault!.

I'm sure there's nothing wrong with your pictures!. Even though I haven't seen any of them, I can safely say that!. Next time, pretend the camera is your closest friend, and be confident!. You'll look the same to either one!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

The trick is to take yourself out of the photoset and put yourself in your happy place and relax!. While laying in bed experiment with the difference between a posed smile and a natural smile!. a real natural smile isn't about saying cheese, it's about finding a genuine happy thought and letting it flow!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
