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.

Yeah if you have poor self esteem you’ll think you look bad in photos. I think part of it is that in the mirror you’re inverted and when you see yourself correctly oriented it’s different and looks like it’s not quite you so you’re more critical of it.

Relax man, you look fine. Just take care of yourself physically and find a style that suits you. You look better than you think and no matter what you look like, there’s people out there who will be into it. So be confident and fun and happy so they’ll talk to you when you find them.
