No wonder all my pictures were years out of date.ĩ9% of photoallergenic people can do just fine in life – until the day comes that they are looking for a job. It’s just that cameras really seem to find all of my facial flaws and highlight them in the weirdest way possible. I don’t have problems with my self-confidence. I employed elaborate choreography to avoid photographers at weddings.ĭon’t get me wrong. It was bad enough for me to develop a special ‘funny face’ whenever I caught sight of a camera, so at least I was ugly on purpose. I am the typical stereotype of somebody who hates herself in photos.
Have you ever heard the term ‘ photoallergenic’? It means “A strong distaste of being photographed, often so strong that an Epipen or a trip to the hospital will be required.” If you came across this term in a dictionary you would find my picture next to it.
