Do you like your photo being taken?

[Hikamaru]

I hate having my photo taken cos I can't smile naturally and my face is a little weirder than you might expect.

 

[Apple Juice]

I hate getting my picture taken without me knowing, but if I know it...

I'm okay with that. :)

Only when I'm with friends or at an anime convention. If it's just family, or worse, total strangers trying to photograph me (which I think some sketchy guy tried to do at the NYC Greyhound bus station recently), then I'm gonna have problems with it.

Basically, I like having my picture taken only when it's with people I enjoy being with.

I don't usually get my photo taken. I'm okay with it, though. But I'm a little self-conscious when they upload it on the internet.

Someone took a picture of me biting a huge donut in Starbucks on a field-trip. They posted it on Facebook and I got really mad 'cause I thought I looked terrible. A year later, I saw that it was hilarious and made it the background for my Twitter page.

I really don't mind getting my picture taking. I'm not shy when it come the taking the photos. But I hate the stupid people that take the the mess up photos when I'm not pay any mind to them.

 

[Eruption]

I'm not bothered as long as I can trust the person not to stick it on Facebook. For the most part they would though so I literally walk away to avoid it sometimes.

It totally depends what kind of picture it is.

If someone takes a picture of me while I'm doing something, or even pretending to do something, it's fine. Like, I don't mind pretending to shove a huge piece of food in my mouth. But if it's anything where I have to pose or I'm looking at the camera, I hate it. I get all nervous and then I look stupid in the picture.

The only thing worse than posed pictures... Photos for like, ID cards and licenses and stuff. I simply dread picture day at school every year because I know the picture is going to be absolutely horrifying, and then I have to look at the bad picture on my ID card all the time for a whole year.
The photo on my driver's permit is also pretty atrocious... But I don't have to look at that all the time, at least.

Noooooooooope. Like, at all. I never knew why until Razor Leaf pointed it out to me: when I smile, my top-lip decides to magically vanish from my face, making me look like some paedophile lusting after a six-year-old. So, photographs are kind of a no-no for me.

Last time I took a photo of myself was months ago....that already tells a lot about my photo-taking interests. I really don't like it when people take photos of me, in all honesty. I have my reasons.

 

[Captain Fabio]

I don't mind taking a photo of myself, but unless I am drunk, I don't like pictures being taken of me as such.​

[Archenoth]

I am not photogenic... I don't mind pictures if I know they are coming, but please please PLEASE stop surprise picturing me and posting them on Facebook dammit!

 

[Briar]

So... do you like your photo being taken, are you fine with taking photos of yourself? If so how often do you do it, and in what circumstances? If you don't like your photo being taken, why not?

i'm okay with having people, or myself, taking photos of me. although taking photos [of myself] isn't something i actually do on a regular basis, it's not something i avoid (unless i'm being stalked or something).

 

[Dreg]

I don't like my photo being taken by other people because I don't trust them enough. I may sometimes take photos of myself, if I'm wearing sunglasses, because without them, I look like a total douche.

 

[Palamon]

No. I hate getting my photo taken. But unfortunately I have a photo-taking loving mother who is always trying to take my picture over everything. I cover my face up so she can never take my picture anymore. I've been camera shy since 2007 and I'm proud of it. I have less pictures of myself now.

 

[.MiKeY]

I was made fun of how I looked that I was ugly and whatnot when I was younger, and have loathed having my picture taken, even to this day I feel that way.

 

[Alex]

I used to not care very much, but now when my photo is being taken, I instinctively think about how it's going to appear on Facebook, and that's when I stop liking having my picture taken. It just becomes broadcast to the world.

 

[Ephemeral Euphoria]

I always hated my photo being taken period. They always came out horribly and if anything they just made me feel bad about myself.

 

[Broken_Arrow]

No,because the smiles in photos most of time are a fake smiles for the picture..that and i feel like i don't look the same as pictures lol

i like to take a photo for my shadow shape it's more of cool for me and for me with the sea wich hardly show my face...i hate taking photos

 

[MEGAS]

I really hate it too. Usually that is because I feel shy, or I am not "stylish" enough. But on rare occasions, when I either have confidence or in a mood to, I'd say yes, but that is only with my friends or girlfriend and it must be away from my family.

 

[User ID]

I absolutely hate pictures. I hate seeing myself.
