Take a long, hard, look at several photos of yourself and decide exactly what you don't like about them. Then, do your best to compensate when you're photographed.
For example, even after extensive dental work, I still have slightly protruding front teeth, so I always smile with my lips closed. Also, I don't like the way the shadow from my cleft chin makes me look double-chinned, so I always tilt my head slightly upward.
Some things that work for everyone: wear matte face powder, (Shine is bad.) wear flattering colors and no small prints, and look slightly above the photographer, not at the camera, which makes you blink. (No one looks good with their eyes half closed.)
If all else fails, keep this in mind. Photographs aren't for you, they're for the folks that love you, so smile and know you're making them happy.

Sometime people feel a little anxious about having their photo taken, so they end up looking a little tense in the photo.
A way to combat this is to take a deep, relaxing breath just as the person taking the photo is saying '1..2..3..' or 'say cheese'.

a camera shows the real you...The mirror lie's you dont see the real you. A snap shot in sunlight is the most accurate picture. Either you dont know how to pose in front of the camera or your ugly and you don't know it.
