When I was younger, I loved to take photos of people, usually my family and friends. Some people don't like their photos taken, they tend to turn their faces, make faces or get out of the camera view. The result is of course a disastrous capture of them. I was once camera shy, but nowadays if you'd direct a camera at me and shoot, I just smile. I think, this way, we also give joy and pleasure to the person behind the camera. Do you like your photos taken randomly?

When a camera is directed at you, you do your signature pose, automatically. Even without a bribe. lol

I don't think of myself as being very photogenic. I used to avoid getting photographed like it was a plague or something. Now I don't really care. Snap away. If I look terrible that's just too bad.

I think I'm camera shy too though I love to take pictures and have lots of them. When friends say they'd take the pictures so I can join group or family pictures, I usually say no thank you.

I do not always take good photos so do not always like my picture taken. It also depends on who is taking them.

I am very camera shy. I hate having my photo taken unless a lot of work has been put in to make them look decent. I prefer to be behind the camera taking all of the pictures.
