Bad Photo Habits

Duck Face:

Just stop, nothing is more unattractive than making a duck face for a picture.  It is not something you would do in “real life”, at least I hope not.  There is nothing natural about the look.  Super Models aren’t doing it, I don’t see celebrities in magazines doing it either.  So where the eff did girls get the idea that this is a cool and attractive thing to do. 

The only person on the world, allowed to do duck face:

“Gang” Signs:

Chuckin deuces in a picture.  What is this proving? It no longer mean “peace” when your hand is sideways.  Is this a natural way to show dominance among other male homosapiens? Are you trying to prove you have more “swagga” than all the other “haters”? To me, it shows how low on the food chain you should be.  Tool level HIGH, outlook of being successful in life LOW.

Not Smiling:
I’m not talking about a few pictures here and there that you don’t feel like smiling for.  No, some guys will refuse to smile in any single picture they are in.  And you know you know this guy.  Smiling makes them look weak.  They think girls look at the picture and say “DAAAMN, who’s that guy?! He looks tough and mysterious. I want to sit on his face”.

The NOT-Candid “Candid”:

Pretending to be candid defeats the purpose of CANDID.  A candid photo is very natural, a fake candid photo is pretty much the most unnatural thing I can think of.  Its like those shitty commercials and advertisements where it is supposed be be real people, truly enjoying life or a product. Girls are the most guilty of this.  “Take my camera, take a picture of us walking away and holding hands cause we are totally like BFFs and I want people to see how much better our friendship is over all of their friendships.”  “Lets gaze into our eyes and pretend this camera isn’t next to us, and show everyone that we love eachother and no man could ever love us this way”  The walking away picture only works in wedding photos.  Stop making it any every day picture to try and be “cute”.

Mirror:

Seriously, this picture should’ve went down in flames with Myspace. That is all.

Photoshopping:

Seriously, stop trying to make yourself look better using photoshop.  It’s still not helping.  That unnatural blur you put on the picture, doesn’t make your skin look any better.  No ones teeth are that white, lay off the paint brush tool.  Your eyes aren’t even blue, so why are they in this picture, so stop trying to look like us natural beauties. The only tool you should be using in photoshop to edit your pictures is the crop tool, ya know, to crop your ugly face out.
