The ultimate face shot...
Jump to: Newest in thread
Does anyone remember the episode of Friends where Monica and Chandler got engaged and Monicas parents wanted to put a picture of them in the local paper? But Chandler was camera allergic and couldn't force a smile for a picture so after many hilarious attempts at a smile which ranged from shambolic to demonic, they subbed in Joey.
I can empathise. I just can't smile in a pic, so any face photo I have looks like I'm either clinically depressed or a potential psycho killer. When I know a camera is on me and I try for the smile it ends up looking like a cross between a grimace and a situation where a Jack Russell has unexpectedly jumped up between my legs and plunged its teeth into my left testicle at the moment someone had a camera pointed at me.
Needless to say when it comes to exchanging the dreaded face pic with a potential match it causes some temporary anxiety.
Anyone else face this or a similar problem? And would it have happened at all if the Jack Russell had just been kept on a leash?  |

I’ve always hated having my photo taken and usually shy away when someone turns a camera on me. I’ve deleted Aloy more fave pics than the ones I’ve uploaded.
You could always follow that example OP and start sending Joeys face in future. |

Couldn't take a good photo of my face to save my life.
It doesn't help that I have a face that only my mother could love but I once had a professional photographer take my picture for a trade magazine and exhibition and thats on my phone
It's the first professional photograph I've had since my black and white school communion photo.
In fairness a few teeth are missing in that one so this one is definitely better. |

Supposedly, the trick is to wait until the very last second before the click to form a smile and look at the camera.
When you are in the process of forming a smile, it looks way more natural then smiling, and then trying to freeze your face like that for the pic |

"Did you ever try with the Jack Russell going for the right ball?  
It was tough enough to train him to sit... "
Ok then try the 'dream' filter in photoshop express, it fluffs and soften up everything to an angel like look. All wrinkles gone in a split second and even your grimace will turn into a sweet sugary smile.  |

Ahhh no, I couldn't use that filter, I wouldn't get away with an angel like face. 
Put some wipped cream on your balls and hopefully the Russell will lick you instead. |

Reckon most of us are the same...
I simply try to imagine something funny in the past while talking a picture...
Probably works well for 2 out of 5 snaps taken...
Hope this helps... |
