Why Do I Look Better In Pictures Than I Do In Real Life?

It makes me insecure when people meet me in real life. They expect me to look better.

    Some people are much more photogenic than others,

    One male friend of mine, can not take a bad photo. He looks great in all photos. He also looks great no matter what he does to his hair. Long, short, curly, straight , highlights, color. In person he  looks normal. Average.   In a photo he could be a model.

    One female friend I have is gorgeous. And never takes a good snap. She doesn’t look half as good in a photo as she does in real life.

    Have you heard the saying “The camera loves you”

    Maybe you carry yourself better when you know you are photographed. Maybe it's your imagination. If you are being yourself on photo, you can't blame yourself for other's perception.
