@alyssaalcantara6739 9 лет назад

Two reasons why these tips will not work for me: 1. The school photographer will not give me that much time to prep up. They got other students to worry about! 2. I am not photogenic whatsoever.

@quenniemonteron3868 9 лет назад

Alyssa Alcantara Of course, school photographer, not at always the School photographer will always take photos of you, many students are also taken photos, and they are just doing their job. Try to be confident and comfortable to ur self. Even me I can't really take good photos.

This is glorious, I have been researching "what is facial yoga" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Ever heard of - Jenrooklyn Facial Mummification - (do a google search ) ? Ive heard some pretty good things about it and my partner got amazing success with it.

@dorothyseldura8850 3 года назад

Okay so tomorrow’s my graduation photo day and I remember I watched this video years back and said I’d follow these steps whenever I’d graduate from college. Here I am 8 years later. Re-watching these tips. Michelle will always be one of my favorite influencers and I’ve grown a lot from watching her videos :) here’s to still watching this at 2021. ❤️

@funnytime1111 9 лет назад

Guys, stop acting like you can't take a good photo if you don't look like her. I'm sure it's annoying when she's trying to help you guys by giving you tips from years of experience, and you are all whining like, "ughhh, must be so easy to look good in photos when you're already so pretty." She LEARNED how to take good photos and you can too. I, myself, have a very distinct sense of style, and people are always telling me, "ughh, you're so good at putting outfits together, just come over to my house and throw out all my ugly clothes and put outfits together for me." I seriously was one of the worst dressed, most awkward looking kids I knew up until 18, when I finally started to figured out how I wanted to present myself, I wasn't born with a sense of fashion. So stop complaining when she gives advice that you guys probably asked for. Just learn from it.

@MarieBorgesU 9 лет назад

i'm pretty from what ive heard from others xD also i think im pretty. but hell i never look good when other people take pics of me. i guess they take the ugly angles xD only pics i look nice is the ones i take myself :c so my left arm is always cropped haha

my friends say that i'm gorgeous but so unphotogenic. like for real, if i look in the mirror or when im out with my friends people will say that i'm drop dead gorgeous but when i take pictures i become a hideous beast like for realz.

@luckythirteen2142 9 лет назад

im a little late but daaamn i have the same problem - i look stunning in mirrors but soo ugly in photos. its really stressfull sometimes - i literally run from taking pictures. worst thing is - everyone says that i look normal in photos and it makes me really question which one - the mirror or the camera is lying

@BloodHuntress99 9 лет назад

the camera is lying. 100% camera

@luckythirteen2142 9 лет назад

@iah2762 2 года назад

My graduation/pictorial is in 2 days. And my heart is beating of my chest rn. Probably bc i feel insecure smiling cause i gained like 3 pounds and everyone else only got taller. And Im too shy to ask my mom bc she might think im trying to hard. And the camera lights are so annoying tbh. Did i mention theres like 20 other students they need to work on-

@AtlanticPicture 8 лет назад

..and if possible find a GOOD photographer. Someone who makes you feel yourself, at ease and relaxed.. someone who's professional, communicative (maybe even funny), not there to impress you or hit on you but to get the BEST PHOTOS out of you. Also, always take an escort with you to every shoot, preferably a friend who you can be relaxed with, not mom or dad (unless underage) or significant other..

Who cares about her chin, it's 100% her business if she got surgery and you have no right to demand to know. Michelle is a person too, she has feeling, you can't just berate her because she has youtube videos and puts herself out there. Be kind, you don't know what she could be going through and your nasty comments do not help. Loved the video Michelle, keep doing good work

I know some (but not all) professional photographers pretend they're actually taking photographs, though they really aren't, simply to "break in" the model. I do it quite frequently, and it works like a charm to make the model comfortable. :)
