Bless The Beautiful
August 2, 2007I can’t photograph ugly people. Call me shallow, but it’s the truth. I mean, sure, there’s inner beauty, but that doesn’t come out in a photo.
With the esthetically challenged, there’s no good angle. Okay, so you can use a telephoto lens for feature compression, you can use a certain perspective to de-emphasize unflattering features, but these techniques only go so far.
I liken it to a chef trying to cook a delicious meal with a bunch of ingredients he doesn’t himself enjoy eating. A photo, in it’s essence, is supposed to be visually pleasing.
And nothing beats a pretty face.
