A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.

This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

Yup my gf is the same, a very awkward person in front of the camera. So, considering I was a fashion photographer, I tell her how to pose to highlight her best sides and she said it didn't feel that natural, til she saw the photos. So yeah it might feel awkward but your regular look isn't photographing well so you gotta try other things til you find what works.
