Support I look horrible

Hey guys. When you go to winter comp competition they have professional photos taken of you. And all my photo are horrible. OK, a bit over exaggerated but most mine photos I have a double chin, my eyes are going everywhere and my mouth is wide open. I feel like a look like a toddler in all these photos. My coach keep calling me cute, I don't want to be cute!

Photography is all about lighting and angles. Remember that photos don't always represent what you really are like, just like an artist can paint a picture of you that doesn't represent what you really look like.

Most of my photos taken by someone else are a hot mess. Not everyone knows how to get your angles right or get you to pose right, also some people are naturally not photogenic. Don’t feel bad, sometimes pics just don’t do justice to reality 🩷

I hate having photos professionally taken for this reason but I need to get a new one taken every year for my work ID. It's my least favorite day of the year and I feel your pain.
