I dislike posing for photos, but spontaneous, natural ones are nice.

I have very few pictures taken of myself. Even a good number of childhood pictures show me hiding my face with sething.

But there is an expection to show your pictures online, particularry on sites like facebook or linkedin. I am on those for family or work search purposes, but won't post my profile picture s there. Even WP has no less than 3 threads in different forums telling you to post your picture.

i am generally okay with still photos of myself. However, I dislike having my photo taken.

Video is an entirely different story. I hate being filmed and I absolutely refuse to watch video of myself.

I generally dislike photos of myself. I never seem to look right. :lol:

It's pretty rare when I like a photo of myself.

I strongly dislike them but am oddly fascinated (have a morbid fascination) with them when other people do take them of me , which doesn't happen often. I'm not photogenic and am usually making a weird expression in them.

am really not bothered about having photographs as to self,it doesnt feel any different;it just looks like the same plonker albeit theyre holding some gadget/box,have never had the understanding nor awareness of the social rules that freak people out about having a picture taken.
hate it when people think am a piece of clay and can be physicaly modeled into a pose of their choice for the photo, posing for photos is another concept will never 'get', nor will ever do so they have always made use of trying to get a laugh or tickling,or just having the camera out when am doing something,they have to get regular photo evidence of us for our ASDAN towards independance course here.

am greatful for photography as have got no shortterm,working or semi long term memory at all due to brain damage from life long head banging and having photographs helps act like a memory.

the pic of myself in my avatar, is the only one I can consider worthy of display. I find it tough to get a pic of myself that is not odd in some way.
