Getting professional photos taken of yourself

carlybabe1 · 17-07-2011 08:22PM

I seriously dont know, nor have I ever met any woman (Im a woman) who is soo happy with her appearance she will get prof photos done just to post on FB!!! :eek: Me personally, I HAAAAATE photos of me, I cant stand lookin at photos of parties/weddings/whatever cause I always have that sinking feeling when I see them

I always hate how I look. My OH is always giving out about how hyper critical I am of these photos, but I just hate them

I shared a house a few years ago with a woman who had a professionally taken photo of herself lying down on a rug with a cheesy grin on her face hanging in her front hall. Cringeworthy, tacky and narcissistic. Made me chuckle every time I saw it.

She was full of herself-the type who thought she was hot because was a blonde haired oompa lumpa :rolleyes:

Never understood why some people put photos of themselves front and center hanging on their walls at home. It looks awful.
Getting professional photos of your kids that you display discretely in a small frame on your dresser or sitting room side table is different.

I have never and will never say that to any female friends of mine and if they want to remain friends of mine they won't say it to me either. Quite honestly that kind of talk calls for a swift kick in the taint.

I once paid a professional photographer to follow me around for the day and take loads of photos of me, it was really cool! felt like a celeb or something, he did a great job and alot of them are the best photos anyone's ever taken of me!

Getting professional photos of yourself = a bit weird & extremely vain.

Why the fook would you even want a big photo of yourself on the wall? If i walked into someones house & seen that i'd be a bit spooked/suspicious to be honest.

Live and let live. Who cares? Surely there are more important things to be p*ssed off about other than some girls who want to get professional photographs taken. It's only their own money they're wasting anyway.

I think some of these pictures are hilarious! These girls "modelling" and they don't exactly look quite the model type. Granted, most of them have great figures, but they wouldn't exactly be good looking.

The poses are hilarious, strewn across motor bikes, cars, lawns... and the clothes are generally disgusting. I've no problem with someone wanting one set of really nice, professional photos of themselves- but the girls I know of that get these professional photos done or that "model" tend to do it on a regular enough basis. And whilst I know of a small number of Irish girls that do it, for the most part in my experience it's Eastern European girls- so maybe it's just something that's part of their culture?

All I know is that mostly the photos are just cringey!!

Really? What about the holocaust?
