Haha don't get me started, someone filmed me eating a slice of watermelon once, now I just vacate the room as soon as someone pulls a video camera out. (home made porn not included lol)
Wow dude, we're twins or something. :blush:
Although, I'm totally ok with my naked body. I've got no issues with acknowledging my hotness in the mirror:D. Also, I can do video cameras if I'm being silly or stupid. Like, in high school my friends and I used to go around doing stupid stuff in the neighborhood like pushing each other down hills in shopping cars.:doh: We'd film that kind of stuff. I've got an entire series of "missions" involving us pranking people and making movie spoofs. It's just when things are serious that I don't like cameras and video. Weird.

^ I actually have that with public speaking. Being idiotic and goofy all you want, putting on a show in front of 20+ people, no problem, but don't let me do it when it's rehearsed, prepared or serious, coz then my voice will go on strike and I'll forget how it was again that you're supposed to breathe.

I wonder if it has something to do with how we identify ourselves.
Also, I noticed I don't do sexy in pictures. I do sexy irl, but in pictures? No. Some girls can do sexy amazingly well in pictures. But I can only legitimately pull of "cute", "sweet", "happy", even "beautiful", but not sexy.:steam:

I'm the only person who can take good pictures of me and even then it takes a lot of photoshopping to get me satisfied. Okay, my current avatar was made by a professional, but I still had to photoshop it because it was accentuating the acne I had on that moment (wrong light, I even used foundation that morning and the picture still showed everything!).

Another advice: know your angles. Sometimes being photographed from the left makes you look way fatter than being photographed from the right. Everyone has his or her best angle.

Hahaha. Photoshopping is not ENFP authentic though. Just push delete. Or untag, in the case of Facebook.:smile:

Yep yep lol it's either all or nothing. :yes:

Currently I have a photo as my profile pic, and I have to be honest, it's a daily struggle to leave it there but I try to overide that desire to hide because I know I have to push through it.

I'm not very photogenic anyway, people have told me this.

Bleh, I don't believe that, your facial features look very photogenic.

I love your profile pic. :D

Then don't listen to other people! Everyone can be photogenic, it only takes some practise! Even I can be photogenic and you should see how I look irl!

Thanks :smile:, should have seen all the ones I tried to get her to delete, for some reason I let people take photos of me when I am drunk, who'd of thought ey? :doh:

That's what my esfp friend (photographer and make up artist) always tells me too and she takes great pics of herself, but she is brimming with confidence and I think that is what shows in her pics the most.

I agree. I have a friend who always causes women around him to take great pics... I even discussed it with another woman once, he just makes women feel good, so they take great pics! She had said, "for some reason, I always take the best pics when I'm around ___" How you feel on the inside shows on the outside.

:cheers:I think it's the whole posing thing that does it for me. My natural pictures and videos are ok(me being silly and stupid). It's the prompted stuff,"SAY CHEESE!!", that I just don't do well. Do you feel like you're faking? Cause I do.

I'm always running around smiling like an idiot so I don't feel like I'm faking smiling like an idiot in pics. ;)

I am also camera shy, but I don't really mind it when people try to take photos of me when I'm out with friends. I do usually end up untagging a bunch of my photos on facebook... usually the ones that show me being too intoxicated or unattractive ones. But I do really treasure the photos of myself that I think look good.

I've never met a camera I didn't like. I also have a sixth sense for cameras. It's very hard to get a candid shot of me. I always pose.

I'm curious if any other ENFP's are as camera shy as me. At least any photo that includes my face, which I hate seeing staring back at me in those photos that I feel never capture who I really am. :doh:

I'm superly stupid and even dive into ones I wasn't meant to be part of when we are out and it is group photos, but photos of just me make me feel uncomfortable. And posed photos of just me, especially when travelling don't feel right, except in the middle of silliness when I refuse to not stand in front of the camera. I also don't take photos of people very often.

Im not camera shy at all. But I definitely seem to always be unhappy with the way I appear in a photo. Almost as if I have the exact opposite of being photogenic. Very few pictures do I like of myself.
