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.

Sounds like that’s just what you look like 🤷🏼‍♂️

Just looked through the profile and it’s 100% this. With a caveat that it’s also 90% psychologically self-inflicted poor image and 10% having a baby face you haven’t grown into yet.

As you get older, you’ll get a bit more definition in your face. I was almost 30 before I grew into my nose. But until then, start setting yourself up for the win. Proper fitting clothes, make effort with your hairstyle and as others have mentioned, practice posing.

You see yourself in the mirror everyday and in that reflection, notice all the little details that only you see until you bring it up to others. People typically see the inverse of that (and often have their own reflections to be insecure about) so they’re not as concerned about your imperfections. Dating scene excluded. But you do the same thing there, dress well, proper hygiene, and show your best face possible.

Fake it until you make it. Trust me, everyone else is.
