I take a lot of event photos, and during these events its inevitable that a group will ask me to take a look at the photo. I try to discourage this as much as possible because without fail at least one of them will not like the way they look. It’s a basic impossibility to take a photo of more than 6 people and not have one of them hate the way they look. Everyone wants to look perfect, and we’re constantly being hammered with pictures that aren’t even remotely real. They’ve been airbrushed and body sculpted. Never mind the fact that there are MUA and Hair stylists, an art director, a crew of lighting guys and a professional photographer who will take hundreds of photos to get a single image.
Be happy with yourself. You look good. Genuine. We’ve all got a little extra to love, zits, body hair, and eye crud.
