I can't smile in front of a camera
2005-04-29, 11:48 AM #1
So, what are your techniques of pretending to being happy in front of a camera? I really can't smile on demand. If I get my picture taken for my ID or something, and the dude says 'smile please', I always think 'well MAKE me, *******'. I never say it out loud though, cause that would be cool.

So ummm tactics techniques help info hints?

I just think of this:

I have a great smile. I can just activate it instantly when I need to, regardless of how pissed off I am.

However sometimes my left eye *closes* in a sense, and it makes me look a little stoned.
I can't think of anything to put here right now.

I can't really smile on command, I can, but its with one side of my mouth.
nope.

I always end up looking stoned in pictures. I don't know how I do it, as I've never been stoned in my life. It just happens...

it really is quite creepy how you obsess over pictures of me. you give replies to almost every one in the post your pic threads, and even photoshopped me into one of the 'photoshop game' threads.

it's weird. really it is.

Think of one of your favorite funny moments from a TV show or movie and try to use that to force a small laugh and smile.

Psh, I get more compliments on how cute my smile is than how cute my FROWN is. GIRLS ACTUALLY PHYSICALLY MELT when i give them just the right smile. Really, I have to be careful. ;)

Anyway, I generally am happy all the time so I just...smile. Try keeping your mouth closed? Might make it look more natural...

Any job which has you interacting with customers will instantly train you to "smile".
That painting was a gift, Todd. I'm taking it with me.

Aye. A nice little smile can work wonder with the ladies.

Maybe I'll try something new instead of smiling, like a rap stance or something with an empty look, like I'm from the streets and the world there has shattered all my illusions.

You're so modest.

I've learned that you don't have to smile when using the internet. In fact, excessive smiling is detrimental. :) :) :) :) :)
