First time in here so be gentle with me

This is going to sound sooo vain and i apologise in advance i can assure you that as far from the truth!!

Ok basically i look ****e in photos. Not a big deal i manage to avoid them as much as possible. But the bf wants some of us together.

And to be honest i do too. Dont get me wrong i think i am average looking but whatever it is about photos i think i look deformed. my nose looks crooked, my eyes look turned in and my face looks thin and drawn!

I'd love to have a nice photo of myself and the other half (i'm 32 and i dont have one photo of myself with any previous partners!!) but i just look terrible!!.

Anyone any tips on taking a nice photo apart from a paper bag?

Thanks in advance.

'Tis all in your head, you're a beautiful woman Trinity.

Temple Bar have a few photography studios that could easily accomodate your request. Sorry I can't offer more in the way of names or numbers, perhaps try the photography forum here for a few contacts.

Alternatively, grab a friend with a decent camera and take complete artistic licence yourself? Get a nice mix of indoor and outdoor shots in your favourite places.

Ask in the photography forum, some of the chaps or ladies there will be more than happy to help you I'm sure.

not on taking photos,
but listen some people are just not photogenic, no matter what they try do/look. don't worry about it.
my advice is to invest in a copy of Photoshop. You will never have that trouble again

Use a secondary light source apart from the rooms lighting (like a desk lamp) Diffuse the light with some grease proof paper over it. Place it beneath and in front of your face to eliminate shadows which might make you look drawn or tired. Do not use flash. A standard camera flash is a nasty, harsh light. Use ambiant lighting only. Also see if taking a shot looking slightly down from above, slightly up from below, on slightly from one side helps. It's amazing how effective a little change in perspective from the standard head on, red eyed, rabbit in the headlights photo can be.

Most people consider themselves non-photogenic and often squirm looking at themsleves in photos. It's one of those things I guess. Very few people have any notion of what other people find attractive about them, so your crooked nose, turned in eyes, and thin face may well be alarmingly attractive to other people who might seem them as as a nose with character, expressionful eyes, and a sculpted visage

But the low-lighting sounds like a good idea anyway, regardless of supermodel status

Low lighting = dark. Thats the best idea yet !!
