At first I was like :confused: and then I was like :eek: and then I was like :monster:

Personally I don't consciously take pictures from angles, but when I go back and look at my "self pictures" I guess I have a tendency to go for the same side?

I'm the same way. I don't intentionally do it, but I always take photos from the same side!

That was ace XD

Yep, all the time. People mistake a mole for a spot ¬_¬ *is being honest* Normally from the side but still full on, because my conk is stupidly large-ish for a girl. Damned genes.

And, though not angle-y, black and white always looks good (Y)

I tend to just think "well I'll try this angle" and bazinga! I'm not looking for special effects, I just want a good picture vs bad one :D

When I was younger I would xD

These days they come from someone else's camera.

Don't do self-pix. My fbook profile pic is of my cat, straight-on angle smiling with her eyes. But if I did I would probably shoot the left side of my face and then delete it.

I don't know.. I probably do some stuff subconsciously. But really, I just go for the good photo instead of the bad one.

I've stopped doing self-photos (though I have some for private) and only use inanimate objects as my profile pic

But I usually don't do Myspace angles unless I'm making a funny.

I'm honest, I do this sometimes. I've also got a real habit of not looking at the camera directly when people take my picture. I tend to look off to the side. However Jack has a horrible habit of taking pictures of me constantly (get the pun Psy? Loki I hope you did in that choice of words!) I think it must be love or something.

We all have our angles, I believe. I subconsciously lean to the same time whenever I take a picture. :cool:

If I take a picture of myself I tend to use my right hand so then it becomes like the same angle often o.o

I managed to get mine at just the right angle to make it look like a load of goats.

I think photos just look kinda odd when people are looking into the camera xD

I guess I do prefer to take my pics at a certain angle because they make me look less blinding. xD

I do not. :colbert:

Most of my pictures aren't self-taken anyway.

I feel like a dick if I take self shots, so I'm not even paying attention when photos are taken. I guess if I do favour a side it would be my left, less battle scars on that side

Some of your photos of yourself look nothing like other photos of yourself though. Like two different people :D

You certainly can't trust my Facebook profile pic. It's probably the best photo of me ever taken, so it's been my profile pic for about 3 years now.

I hate getting my picture taken. I've only had one profile pic for the past 3 years or so, and I have a strawberry on my head.

I'm a big photo whore and I tend to take more three quarter shots of myself... There I said it! :P

Especially don't trust my cousin ♥♥Emolicious Eternal Darkness Enigma of Mystery♥♥. He actually admits to being half-demon. :eep:

As for me. Most of my self-pics have been angled from slightly below the chin and pretty straight forward. I usually wear sunglasses because I'm told I look dosed without them. My phase of taking photos of myself ended about two years ago when I met my girlfriend.

Though, I suppose you could see me taking photos of myself using the excuse that it's a couple's photo... even though I'm emphasizing my look over hers. But damn, it takes a lot of effort (or sneakiness) to actually get a picture of her because she hates being photographed. Maybe it's that old Native American belief that the flash is stealing your soul?

Who doesn't take pictures where they actually look good? I'm not going to take a :bou::bou::bou::bou:ty photo of myself like a dumbass.

That's usually what your sister does.

haha, I love that video. I love taking pictures of myself and others and I will sometimes do an obvious facebook/myspace pose for fun but I don't think I always pick a certain angle. I also never put them in black and white :)

You can trust my profile picture...I think :)

Smile and Be happy :love:
