As someone who was told that I could not be photogenic this makes me feel very confident, you are always so motivational. ❤️
Thank you Jenny
@@DavidSuh will always be here to support you! And your content is one of a kind to me ❤️
wow thats pretty rude that people said that to you. thats like saying your ugly, because when they think you can't get photogenic, than they think its your genes. so... yeah its like saying someones ugly.
you should go to a professional photographer and get beautiful pictures from him/her. they know how to get the best out of all people. it will boost your self confidence again and you will see that its not you, its the skill of photographing.
1. Gets motivated
2. Tries to take a selfie
3. Looks at the picture
"Yeah, I'm never doing that again"
Lmaoooo
Ha ha ha I hate myself, so funny!
skill - you heard that?
I would never want to be in the photos that my friends would take when we were traveling or doing something fun because I really hated how I looked in pictures. After viewing a ton of your videos, I actually find it fun now to be in the photos and also to take cute photos of my friends. Thank you so much, David for helping me to find confidence. I appreciate what you are doing.
i wish i knew this earlier because I hated taking photos for soooo long! I'm still on that journey of learning and figuring out what works for me, but you're literally the reason why I've been working on taking more photos (even before being friends!). i appreciate you and what you do to help others so much 🥺💕
T.T WAAAAAAAAAAAH UGLY CRY IN PROCESS
I genuinely respect how willing you are to contradict the behavior we find so natural. For instance, being so quick to perceive that we lack beauty. I particularly enjoyed the bit in which you compared drawing to photographs and addressed the line between blaming our characteristics or attributing it to our skills and reflect on how to develop them. These are phenomenal.
this is realest advice i've ever heard about becoming a better photographer/model. I love the approach of loving yourself and actually treating this as an art and taking time to practice to become better not just hating yourself because you don't look like an insta baddie the first time.
Brb gotta go share this with every person I know.
This is a game changing way of thinking.
The drawing analogy was a huge aha moment out of nowhere for me
@@DavidSuh I am sooo glad you decided to make a video about it! I am not sure I ever would have made that connection to understand why I treat self portrait photography so differently from other art forms. I think this will help people be more gentle on themselves in the future.
I was told often when I was younger I was not photogenic. So I always felt small in my body. Until I took a drawing class in college. Did draping, still life, live models and...self portraits. I remember one day my professor walking around and around and finally after several rounds stopped, let out this loud frustrated sigh behind me and snatched the charcoal out of my hand and started drawing over what I did, saying very very pointedly. "You are good artist. Draw bigger. You can draw bigger and use darker lines. SECOND!! YOU HAVE A BEAUTIFUL NECK, ITS LONG AND GORGEOUS. YOUR JAW IS STRONG AND LOVELY TOO. DRAW. IT. DRAW IT. I DIDNT GIVE YOU A FUN HOUSE MIRROR." and then slammed down the bit of charcoal that he demolished and stalked off. I wish I still had that portrait, but it was lost during a move. But man. That one moment having an art professional tell me that my features were lovely and beautiful and strong. Opened up a door in my self confidence and love that I never knew was there.
This is fantastic! In my 20s I hated being in front of the camera, but now in my 30s I've taken a big interest in photography, modeling, and filming. I've been trying to learn more techniques. Thanks for your videos!!!
Wowow can we just appreciate how GOOD the editing is! ✨
ahhhh honestly it makes me so happy to know the hours of work that go into editing isn't being unnoticed
I did not plan on crying after watching this but here I am; in tears and moved by your powerful/inspirational video. Thank you David, ill be tuned in for any courses you offer.
Hey man, you inspired me to try photographing myself and I bought a tripod and went out to the top of a parking garage and just started shooting. I felt awkward at first, but some of the pictures I took turned out decent and I'm more motivated to practicing more in the future!
I discovered you on Instagram yesterday and have fallen down a rabbit hole of consuming all of your content. I've spent most of my life being told that I'm not very photogenic, so thank you so much for this message. Your viewpoint makes so much sense after listening to it and motivates me to learn more about photography. You are so beautiful and so inspirational, I can't wait to see you grow more as a person and photographer! I'm running to sign up for your course stat!
This video was more helpful than you may know. I have thousands of photos on my phone and maybe two of myself. I loathe photos of myself and have very few. I have always believed you are either photogenic or not, but this was enlightening. I have been exploring this a bit more and found some advice about trying to take a photo of myself every day to almost train my brain to get used to seeing myself in photos. Thank you for this.
I've always been in love with photography since I was a teenager, and after a few years you made me remember how gentle a camera and this art can be. Thank you so much
Love how easily you help others to find self confidence! You’re amazing David!
Amazing video!
Your kindness and positivity could make a rotten flower bloom. You are beautiful!!!
Thank you so much for offering such a valuable perspective! I struggle with this so much and I am very appreciative that I came across your video! I’ve just subscribed to your email list, I am really looking forward to your course coming out. I would love to dive deeper into exploring this perspective and learning the various elements that you mentioned around learning the skill of being photogenic.
This should be required viewing for anyone planning on taking a selfie or getting on social media👍🏼. I think it would prevent a lot of tears and self depreciating thoughts. Thank you David!!❤️
I’m so happy that I found you and your channel! You are a wonderful teacher of skill improvement and even more importantly self acceptance and self love ❤️ thank you so much 🥰
Ugh you’re so amazing! 😭😭💗 there’s such a long period of time where I really don’t have any photos of myself because I felt like I wasn’t photogenic. Trying to get out of that habit 🤞🏽
bro you've literally opened up my eyes and one of the doors to why I feel like I can't be 100% confident! I'm glad you made this sh**
omg i needed that. my ass year after giving birth to my babe realised that i have about 2 photos of myself.that i quite enjoy. and thats it. Thank you David, you boosted my confidence in the way of learning of taking pics so i'll have beaultiful pics for future. keep fingers crossed!
Thank you for being such a kind soul in this world :)
I needed this message today! Thank you so very much
This is very motivational to get those of us who don't believe we are photogenic to experiment more with angles and lighting. So, I consider myself attractive, have always been since I was a child BUT even as a child, I never felt I photographed well. At least the photos never looked like what I saw in the mirror. In fact, a colleague once said he did not recognize me because I looked so much better in person. Hmmm....So while I do believe that some people are born with facial angles and structures that lend themselves to the 2D camera perspective and never take a bad photo - others like me seem to distort the lens LOL and rarely take a good one. BUT I will definitely try to work harder at taking the best photos of myself so thanks for this video and lots of your other videos. Teaching me a lot and giving me a whole different perspective.
I had the _sudden_ unexplainable drive to learn photography after watching this video. I want to be able to show my friends how beautiful they are, Id love to show them how I see them when they think otherwise. Thank you very much for sharing this very true and valuable perspective with how we relate 'beauty' with photos. This video needs to be shown to everyone, how is it not popular?
As a photographer didn't think I was photogenic. But always being behind the camera has driven a thought about being in front of the camera myself before!
Hello David! So yesterday I had a photoshoot for our school's yearbook and I wasn't confident I could pull much good poses so I went through your videos for poses. And guess what? It all turned well! I am now more confident in posing, thank you so much for your guidance from your videos!❤❤
(To add more, I don't know if it has any effect too, but I even got to go home together with my crush later on🤭 glad I was being more confident and brave!)
If I could, I would like to save money to be able to get photographed by you!
Thank you so muuuch for this. I've been so shy and look awkward on camera. Im so glad Mr david is out there boosting our confident. Thank you so much
I wasnt expecting this deep conversation but i like it thank you for spreading wisdom
Thank you so much. You don't how inspiring you are and how much respect and love i have for you and your work. People around me had always demotivated me. By blaming me not to be more good looking or photogenic or even body shaming and insult. This video was really a push to my back. Thank you very much❤️.
Your work is so so important David, thank you for giving so much knowledge and confidence!! ❤️
You are amazing,thank you for giving me hope , giving me a simple guide to become more confident about myself

How to trigger photographers: omg ur cameras so good
we once worked with a fairly well-known photographer in our country who normally works with professional photomodels, newspapers, companies, etc. He told us something straight: when he picks a girl for a commission and she comes to the studio without makeup, there was often a situation where he thought ''shes so ugly'' [yes, he shouldn't, but well...luckily he was just thinking]. But when the make-up artist painted the girl and she stood in front of the camera, boom boom two, three poses and the photos are ready, marvel, delight! Just the ability to properly position the body, awareness of your body, you don't have to be extremely beautiful to look beautiful in photos.
beautiful. thanks david
Really needed this video
i love this one!
Thank you for making this video I really appreciate it
The sweetest ❤️💘

He definitely gave me a new perspective for
I love your personality
Thank you!!!! You are INSANE!!!!!!!
Thank you !!!
nicely said!
The amount of self confidence could affect how you see yourself is true tho. I used to be very confident with my look. I feel pretty (not pretty like goddess but I acknowledge myself to have a decent good look) almost all the time. I realized it was bc I look at the mirror a lot (I used to live in a small dorm where I only have one table to study, eat and do everything and I placed the mirror right in the middle of it), it somehow tricked me to look at myself every day and it build on my confidence.
But later on I moved away, I dated someone who's not very appreciative and told me I got uglier when I gained some weight which really crushed me. I stopped looking at mirrors and I hate it when people wanted to take my photos. So advice : you don't need others approval to be the best of yourselves. You know you better. Putting this ability on someone else's hand could be so heartbreaking when they chose to not be nice.
Years later here I am trying to rebuild that self confidence I had. The process is slow but I'm working my best to love myself and know myself better. I still feel bad sometimes, but hopefully I won't be anymore in the future.
I was cussing me out for not being photogenic then I saw my childhood photos and realized I just need to go to a pro photographer
brilliant video! It's rlly well explained and I love the metaphor but I have a guestion. What about when our pics look better then we do in reality? so that when we meet ppl in real life they get dissapointed cuz we don't look the same as in the pics? I always feel bad like i am lying or that person is lying to me in a way.(you know the "catfishing" photo trend)
so I am always hesitating when taking or posting pictures. Any opinion on that?
Well, I’m from your tiktok and I’m interested to this
Cant agree more Never five up (Y) Good video, many thx for it, gentleman
We survived!
Hello ! What's the instrumental at 3:15 please ?
You're inspirational bro.
I think I look good in photos I take myself since I know my angles etc but whenever other people take pictures, I look so weird😭
Hey david l wanted to say that l tried taking pictures of my self and they were beautiful
But l am not satisfied with the expressions and the energy from my glares and my poses differ
Want help in that
And then there is me who thinks like this:
"I can look good easily on photos, but I'm too lazy to prepare for it"
"Wow they have so much time to make those photos"
What if the person who constantly ask you to take picture of her (a girlfriend or wife, for example), reject the very concept of self improvement? And she always dictate how you take the pricture (always full body, can't shoot from the left side of her face, need to show her 'long legs', need to invert the phone (WTF??) etc...)?
You two need to talk about it not ask questions on the internet
I agree whole hearted that everyone can learn to look and feel beautiful but the term "photogenic" traditionally describes someone who naturally appears appealing in photographs without making an effort. If you actively work to be photogenic, it contradicts the essence of being naturally so. It's akin to claiming to be "natural" at something, which implies proficiency without exertion.
Nice work!
Please don’t let the course be expensive 😔✋🏼
Phew I’m not hideous, just talentless haha
I think u born with it i try so hard andi just cant i look ugly asf
I don't take photos
Wait... but some people aren't as physically appealing... they need the styling or skill of photographers and editors
All this just makes me sad again and again. The truth is if you were born with an ugly face, the only thing left for you is not to burden other people with seeing it.
"You just don't have skills" - naive copium. Yes, it works in many cases, cases of beautiful people like you or many others. But let's be realistic - you can't make an ugly person look different, no matter how skilled you are.
Of course, I realize that this video was made only to promote the course, but...
