...smile when you know you are being photographed? I can't. As soon as I know a camera is being pointed at me my expression freezes and I look like someone who has never been amused in his life.

Those who can smile on camera - how do you do it? Do you enjoy being photographed so it comes naturally, or are you good at faking it for the time it takes for the picture to be taken?

I smile all the time, so it comes naturally to me.

I am -very- photogenic though, sometimes I think I catfish people.

I look awkward if I smile in photos. Proper creep/serial killer vibes. It’s not a good look.

No. I find, and I think most do, that as soon as the lens is focused on me I can shift a bit. Be more aware and less natural.

So what I do is make sure there's a reason to smile. A genuine one. Think about that thing, that person etc.

I don’t really like posed photographs, unless it’s a model it’s likely going to be a bad shot. When I am doing portrait work I put silent shutter mode on

I ace the moody serial killer look.

I just look like I've escaped if I smile.

I can smile and pose, I found that it came quite naturally to me. I do sometimes grimace in a most unattractive fashion if the photographer takes too long though

My sister and I developed this bitchy fake smile as kids to cope with the photo ordeal.

She made a career out of it, she works in HR now as a consultant.

She's masterful really, on the surface she can have a perfectly pleasant and amicable conversation, asking about their kids and pet dog Sparky's minor paw surgery - but the recipient - you can visibly see their soul crumble and turn to dust.

It’s difficult to fake a smile. Know what you mean. That’s probably why we say ‘cheese’ it naturally puts your face in the smile position. K

Being told to smile or prepare yourself for a pic is the least sexiest thing ever.

I try and capture a smile when it’s not forced.

It’s best to take a pic during happy occasions so you at least capture a happy time.

I find the best way to get anyone to smile for a photo is instead of asking them to say “cheese” get them all to say “penis”

Then they laugh and the smiles are genuine

Yeah, but some of the smiles will be smaller than others

That’s all good. Not all smiles are the same size. Wouldn’t life be boring if they were
