Littlejfrey Posted Wednesday at 12:39 AM Share Posted Wednesday at 12:39 AM How do you receive that comment? I always thought of it as a compliment, but then my anxious self started to wonder if they meant that you don't look pretty in real life compared to the photographs.

Goaty Posted Wednesday at 12:47 AM Share Posted Wednesday at 12:47 AM It depends on the context. "Wow you're so photogenic!" when it's the first time meeting someone off the Internet is different than "Wow you're so photogenic!" after taking a picture with some friends. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Contessa Posted Wednesday at 12:54 AM Share Posted Wednesday at 12:54 AM Most of the time I've heard or used this is when the person looks better in photos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trent W Posted Wednesday at 12:57 AM Share Posted Wednesday at 12:57 AM It's very different to see "you're so photogenic" in an instagram comment compared to be told in person 🤭 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galaxy Posted Wednesday at 12:59 AM Share Posted Wednesday at 12:59 AM This is literally the first time in my life I've considered that comment could be shade 10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aesthetic bih Posted Wednesday at 01:05 AM Share Posted Wednesday at 01:05 AM Most normal people would take it as a compliment If you're a petty b*tch, then sure, take it however you want it to be 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vuelve88 Posted Wednesday at 01:45 AM Share Posted Wednesday at 01:45 AM I think it's a compliment. It's definitely better than them saying "You have a face for radio." 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timber Posted Wednesday at 02:14 AM Share Posted Wednesday at 02:14 AM 99% of the time it's a compliment. But I can see how it can be twisted into shade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeAg Posted Wednesday at 02:27 AM Share Posted Wednesday at 02:27 AM compliment, don't overthink it (people have been telling me I'm photogenic since high school and back then I was really weird looking and this girl who HATED me was the first person to ever tell me that and she was like gritting her teeth to try to not express jealousy) (but now that I'm older and my face has grown in more people compliment me in other ways, but knowing that I can be complimented in other ways than just "photogenic" proves to me that it was never meant in a really shady way) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batsy Armada Posted Wednesday at 03:57 AM Share Posted Wednesday at 03:57 AM It's usually the opposite for me. People always tell me I look better in person than I do in pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alldeezy Posted Wednesday at 05:57 AM Share Posted Wednesday at 05:57 AM I used to get that till I ended up becoming awful at taking pictures Id look amazing in pictures then they see me and are like 🤮🤮 Now it's the opposite 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bencharmer Posted Wednesday at 10:40 AM Share Posted Wednesday at 10:40 AM If someone says it to you, it's generally meant to be nice. If you don't like that compliment, you need to journal about it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mariya Takeuchi Posted Wednesday at 10:47 AM Share Posted Wednesday at 10:47 AM Complement but if it's followed by "in the right lighting" it's definitely shade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laqqinq Posted Wednesday at 02:10 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 02:10 PM It just means that you look great and have a face or face expression that felt perfect for the camera or pictures, meaning it made the picture(s) all the more better looking or memorable. It also means that you do not need to try too hard, like you can effortlessly pose well or look good for a photo or candid or such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
