How come some peoples photos are so bad?

By (user no longer on site) OP over a year ago

Cameras on phones are pretty amazing yet there are quite a few profiles with photos that look like they were taken with a pinhole camera!

Why?

I think it’s to do with Fab reducing image quality of non-site supporters

Because not everyone has that artistic eye for taking photos, it is a skill and David Bailey is not on Fab.

I've been thinking the same. The pics look don't look so good and they don't seem to look any better with it without site suporter.

To be fair it's not difficult..just requires a little more thought.

Don't do toilet shots, kids toys or dirty washing in the background..basically just make an effort.

Depends how you perceive your photos will be viewed I guess. Some are truly dreadful, not to mention the scruffy, filthy back grounds

On the other hand, there are some excellent quality photos available to view

Because we

1) Are crap at taking them

2) Can't be arsed wasting time taking them

3) Think the subject matter is a bit shit so no point polishing it and adding gliter to it

4) Are lazy.

Plus when you are wobbling about on stillettos, bent over with your ass + one leg in the air, trying to press the shutter button with your arm outstretched and a demented cat thinking it is play time, it can get tricky :o

Thing is one persons crap picture will be another person's masterpiece it's all subjective.

That said there are some pics that you look at and think "what on earth makes you think that will be alluring" and in those instances I think it can come down to a number of factors:

- Not having a particularly creative or artistic eye

- Not caring

- Mistakenly thinking it is what people want to see

- Simply not realising something is visible

...or any number of other reasons

I think some people just don't have an eye for taking a good photo. It's like some accounts I follow on Instagram (mostly family) take a photo of a zoomed in piece of pasta but then other people really capture that pasta at its finest from a whole different point of view

I don't mind a bad picture to be honest. It's more messy backgrounds that put me off.

Just have fun doing it and don’t get frustrated if it doesn’t quite work.... my neighbours must wonder what’s going on sometimes with my laughter.

As for the other shots not being good quality, everyone posts what they like, think they look good in. Their choice you don’t have to view them

if they offend you that much top tip,

don't look at them.

Stop whining

I'm totally unphotogenic always have been unfortunate but true however I still sometimes get interest... Sometimes.. Guess it's a matter of taste

I quite like playing 'guess the body part' with the ones that are so cropped it's practically indiscernible

How do you know if it will offend without looking at them first?

I think my photos are ok and my top tip is the 3 sec delay function on my iPhone 6. Also I’ve found a place in my house where the lighting works so I just use that spot for all my pics. Note. It isn’t in the bathroom

bad lighting, no thought process, subject matter not photogenic, too forward

Camera phones are like self driving cars. Its hard to take a bad photo but it happens. So some ideas to improve them.

Composition and background: No toilets or messy backgrounds

Lighting: Stay out of the bathroom, hard direct light isn't your friend. If you can use natural light or a lamp.

Low lighting makes it difficult.

The timer function can be good, what is even better is a bluetooth remote and some form of stabiliser. A mini tripod or a suction cup phone holder works.

Editing. Less can be more. Instagram type filters are OTT. I like VSCO but there are loads to choose from

Shooting portraits and nudes isn't easy but some planning and practice helps. Think about your audience, who are you shooting for, you or someone else? What would they like to see.
