Is it possible for you to be pretty but not be photogenic?

The reason i'm asking is because I take terrible pictures only rarely do they turn out good, but when I look in the mirror I think I look really pretty (Not being cocky or anything), so is it possible and why?

Thanks!

    Absolutely possible. When I was young someone was trying to fix me up and showed me her picture. I thought she was fat and looked like an elf so I dodged that date for a long time. When I was finally cornered and agreed to the date I met her at her job. I damn near passed out, she was so pretty! She was actually very petite and had an absolutely beautiful face. I just stood there like an imbecile with my mouth open. I couldn't believe it was the same girl. I learned a valuable lesson that day.

    I think so. I'm pretty, but I look absolutely horrific in pictures lol.

    I just got over it and edited the pics (Picasa3!!!)

    It worked for me and my pics look a bit better.

    Source(s): goodluck! email me for more . . .
  • I'm wondering the same thing.

    I fail at taking pictures of myself.

    =O I'm just like that! I thought i was the only one who noticed lol. I think it's because maybe the camera only highlights our bad features :(
