Anyone else look a lot less attractive in photos?

Don't know why, but ppl tell me that I look less attractive in photos than in person, I can also see why they say this. But I feel like I the effect on me is bigger then the effect on others. This is a real negative when someone online asks to see a pic of me...
Can't answer since I'm not attractive in the first place.

It's because you don't know how to pose. You don't know your angles, and your lighting is probably ****.
I do, I think everyone does as well. I guess it's because it's a perfect still frame of our face at one point in time, whereas normally our facial gestures change all the time. I don't think I look horrible, in some photos i look nice, but overall yeah I can relate to you.

They will probably become less frequent in about 2 weeks (I start college again), if anything it will be academic related threads. Maybe other subjects as well, mans realised he needs to show more self respect.

Yes, I can relate. Cameras don't do me justice.:biggrin:
I look fine when I don't look at the camera, so like a photo without me knowing lol
I look way better in selfies than actual photos.

Yes.

I look like utter ***** in photos. Last year's college ID (which a teacher once put up on the board for everybody to see; by accident, I should add) was horrendous.

I look waaaaay better in real life.

I look alright in selfies though...probs because I can control the angle, lighting, etc.

I look bad in selfies as well tho 😂. Same thing happened with me, my college id photo always comes up on the smartboard. I don't mind it now tho, it could look worse.
