I've recently realized I haven't had any new pictures taken of myself (aside from those straight faced passport photos) in years.

Over the last said years, I think, and others have mentioned, I've changed my appearance dramatically. So much so that when people are first introduced to me they say I look much better and more fit from the pictures.

So, I'm looking for an amateur photographer that'd be willing to snap a few of me. I'm not looking for glamor shots or posed in front of a cheesy paper background. Just natural looking "out and around" stuff. Maybe over a few days or a weekend.

I'd be willing to pay a little for them and cover lunch and travel costs.


Here's the rub: the reason I don't have many pictures is because I am not photogenic at all. I look terrible in almost every picture. I'm a good looking guy in person, but for some reason in pictures and videos it doesn't come across. Some have seen videos taken of me earlier in the day and a few hours later, while I'm exactly the same they say "dude, you look totally different, I didn't even recognize you." So, that's the catch. Hope if you or your photographer friend knows how to work around that.

Hey, I can take your photos! I've a Canon DSLR. Generally, cameras really do add ten pounds, so if someone who is not into photography takes some poorly shot pics, the subject in question will end up looking even worse. LOL, this has happened to me countless times...I take good-looking shots of friends, but they can't return the favor when I'm the one in front of the camera. As a result, I end up deleting most photos of myself. Crying or Very sad Send me a PM if you're interested.
