i can kind of relate! everyone says i look like keira knightley in person, but pictures of me dont look like her.

unfortunately i dont have a solution for you! its so strange how different people can look in actuality versus in a picure...

I think it would be kind of vain for me to say 'yeah I totally look like a model in person' hahahahaha. I get told I look like a lot of people from Bette Davis to Emanuelle Beart (shocked me I was chuffed)...

But .... oh my goodness I get made fun of for my terrible photo's lol. I've been told in my wedding photos i should have a backless dress and just face the back it would be better that way hahahahahahaha ... I'm terrible the minute a camera is on me. I've been practicing for these photos incidentally ... and have experienced better results infront of a camera Very Happy

so there is hope it's all about a mirror, telling yourself you aren't vain, and practicing Very Happy

Well I've been told in person I have a 'models face' and 'models features' (even though I'm only 160cm), but I don't like my face in photo or video...I know it can happen vice versa too (having 'models face' and 'models features' in photo and video, but not in person).

And yes I have been practising in mirror, I think that's all I can do for now. And yes I realize I'm way too short to be high fashion model.

Any advice greatly appreciated, thanks.

hello, i can relate too, I've been told several times that I could model, but I have bad skin and my measurements are 34a-26-35. Do you think there's any hope for us spotty model wannabes??
