+I avoid cameras like the plague because Teh Dysphorias. <br>+Unfortunately, so many things involve people wanting pictures of you and I want to be like “Ah! No! Stay back! *hiss*”, but this isn’t always a viable response. <p>+So, maybe I should just take a lot of pictures all at once and sort them by awfulness? Until I find one that doesn’t make me want to crawl in a hole and die? <br>+I mean, with enough attempts, I’d probably end up with something that doesn’t make me feel soul-crushingly dysphoric, but IDK if I’d survive the process. <br>+IDK what do <p>+Is there a manual on how to photo while trans? <br>+(If there is such a manual, I bet ozymandias271 knows where to find it.)
+Was this covered in The Gay Agenda?
+I didn’t do the recommended reading and now I’m going to fail the course :(Your formatting messed up so this is kind of hard to read, but, yeah, that’s basically what I do. In addition to “take like 20 of them and pick the best ones” other tips include:
-natural light! the sun makes everything prettier! IME standing by a window without lights on in the room tends to look best, (i.e. this and this versus this)
-find good angles. putting the camera square in front of my face doesn’t usually work out as well as holding it slightly to the side + above/below
-um… shave?
that’s about all i’ve got. maybe is helpful?
Wow. I just reblogged someone supporting the format. I guess there’s disagreement.
Anyway, thanks for the tips!
Personally, I’m fine with the pluses, but the raw HTML tags are annoying. I suspect that’s what Jade was getting at too.
