    I try to smile whenever I'm in a photo, and I attempt make it appear as though I'm sincerely happy; doesn't normally work :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    I like smiling for pics but i look silly sometimes as my teeth are so small that only my gums show. Thefore ive tried perfecting the pout!
     
  3. I can't make a decent phony camera smile, if I try I look terrible.
    Although I did happen to smile in my profile picture which was amazing.

    I also have bad teeth lol, so I tend not to have too many open mouth smiles.

    I just added a photo to my profile then where I'm smiling!

    It's a sincere smile as I was extremely happy... which was probably because I was extremely drunk and that was in the middle of seeing The Prodigy and The Ting Tings!

    I don't smile because I think posing for photographs is so pointless and phony. I would much rather capture someone or be captured unexpectedly. Natural poses (for me at least) always look better and if you can capture them with a real genuine smile on their face then bonus.

    I always smile with teeth, but I believe I look better without teeth.

    As a photographer, most people I photograph dislike their teeth and they feel they cannot smile naturally. I'd say 65%.

    There is also the old stereotype that gay guys smile in pics and gay women don't lol

    I smile in most pictures, but I ahte my teeth so I have a closed mouth smile. When I smile with my teeth showing I hate the picture automatically.
    But I think it's true to an extent a lot of people dont smile cause they're trying to get the "model" look and maybe suck in their cheeks a bit too. I think everyone looks better smiling in pictures though. But taking a picture of yourself on your own it's hard for the smile not to look forced :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    I've had too many people tell me I don't smile with my eyes and then they ask me why I don't.

    To avoid that whole sticky messy area of my life I just don't smile.

    I think I look VERY slightly less goofy in photos when I don't smile. So I don't. That's the only reason for me. :slight_smile:

    I smile all the time. In fact I think I smile too much! But it's one of my good qualities, I look sad if I'm not smiling in a pic
