What is it like not to be on camera?

In real life, some people have very good appearance and inner temperament, but they are just not photogenic. I often want to take a few photos and post them on Moments, but I don’t have the courage. Some people have average looks and don't look very good in real life, but they look very good in photos. This kind of difference, for girls who are not photogenic and have good looks, the shadow area in their hearts is huge.

What are the remedial measures for such unphotogenic subjects? My personal experience and remedial methods are as follows:

Clear the reasons for the unphotogenic subject

To find the appropriate remedy, we must first figure out the reasons why the subject is not photogenic. The following reasons are often found: the face is relatively wide, the three-dimensional sense of the facial features is not strong, the clothing is not matched appropriately, and the movements during the photo are taken. The expression is dull, the photographer's shooting angle is wrong, the use of light and shadow is inappropriate, the shooting environment is uncoordinated, excessive post-processing, etc.

Find remedies based on the reasons why the subject is not photogenic

In order to make the photos of the subject look better, the photographer should make remedies based on the actual reasons why the subject is not photogenic. .

For example, if the subject's face is relatively large, you need to use makeup or use props to make the subject's facial features appear smaller. If the facial features are not three-dimensional, you need to use makeup and light and shadow to make the character's facial features more three-dimensional.

If the clothing combination is not suitable, you need to choose appropriate clothing based on the theme content, model appearance and temperament. If the characters' movements and expressions are rigid due to their nervousness, making them unphotogenic, the photographer needs to use more appropriate guidance or shooting techniques to make the characters' movements and expressions appear more vivid and natural.
