Hate my picture being taken

The ugliest woman can be very photogenic while the prettiest woman can be nonphotogenic. So, an ugly woman could look gorgeous in modeling shoot when a pretty woman looks ugly. How good a photo turns out has nothing to due with how attractive you are. Do you tend to wear no makeup or foundation? I am also nonphotogenic. I noticed that I look better when I take digital photos of myself without foundation. I think the foundation must not agree with the camera. I know what you mean when you say you do not want your photo taken. At family get togethers I usually go to another room when photos are being taken. Then if someone says we're taking family photos, I just say "That's okay. I'd prefer my photo not be taken." My family now gets the hint so they do not wait for me to take a photo. It is better for my photo not to be taken than for me to feel sick everytime I look at it! I am curious to hear the advice on this one since it has also been a problem for me.

just say that you don't photograph well and you don't want your picture taken. agree once in a while, but only with warning so that you can make sure to force your eyes open and smile.

Oh that reminds me. I am very sensitive to bright light like flashes. So, my eyes blink when the flash goes off no matter how hard I try. Maybe you are also sensitive to bright light.
