and took some professional studio photographs.
I posted one of the session's photographs on facebook for my default picture, and got a crapload of comments on it, saying how nice I looked. Honestly, when I feel ugly or not physically beautiful enough, I'll sometimes look through these comments (the photograph is on private now, though). Yet the problem is...
... no matter how many times or how long I stare at the supposedly gorgeous photograph of myself - I genuinely, honestly don't see much beauty in it. Granted, I look clean and have tons of make-up on, but I look so mediocre. It's just a regular portrait photograph. And being South-East Asian, there's no depth to my face - and that's something as a photographer that I really wish I could have sometimes, but oh well, genetics. I seldom know any photographers who are fully comfortable with the way they look, so I guess that's a good thing that I can't see what a lot of other people apparently do.
But then again, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
