When someone says you're photogenic, how do you take it? Do you get offended and think that they're calling you ugly in person or do you take it as a compliment?

that's odd. this is the second time recently the issue of whether or not photogenic is an insult... photogenic doesn't mean you're pretty in pictures but ugly IRL. it just means you translate well onto film. the beauty pagnents have the miss photogenic award. it's given to the girl who takes the best pictures. i know some really pretty girls who take...really...bad pictures. edit: lol. out of curiousity. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photogenic QUOTE A person described as being photogenic may not necessarily be particularly attractive in real life. Often, a person who appears attractive in real life may look less attractive in photographs. |
