Do you photograph well?

Are you generally pleased with photographs of yourself, finding them pretty representative?
I had a great aunt that was a beautiful person who looked consistently horrible in pictures.
I’ve never been appreciative of pictures of myself. Yet I look back at old photos and I find myself adorable or VGL.
But, this question is about you.
All about you.

I’m not please with them, but not because I don’t find them representative of myself.
I honestly don’t even know what I look like too well. It’s hard to tell myself apart in different photos of me, but I’m not in many photos anyway.
I actually understand that, @dxs.
It’s nearly a re-statement of my question.
I’m not please with myself in a photograph. I always look awkward. While everyone seems so natural, I look like I am a robot trying to imitate everyone.
I’m not photogenic at all. I always look horrible in photos.
I’m not at all photogenic either, I loathe having my photograph taken. Although a number of years ago a professional photographer friend took a whole roll of me interacting with 2 other people, I was totally engaged in conversation and unaware of what she was doing, she kept her distance. The photographs are wonderful, I was delighted, not to mention completely surprised by how good they were.
Not really. I suppose it’s hard to photograph well when you look like this, though.
@SavoirFaire Where did you get that picture of my great great great great great great great uncle Eirik?
Negative. I don’t even reflect well in mirrors.
@Adagio I guess we’re just intergenerational twins.
The three times that I have looked okay in a picture all involved professional photographers and a crap-ton of makeup. Hence, in all other pictures I look pretty awful.
I’m so pale. The light has to be just so. Most pictures of me you can either see the reflection of the flash on me, or just too dark. All the pictures of me when I was a kid I have a tooth missing, and my mother used to cut ugly bangs in my hair.
No! I avoid cameras as if they are death rays.
I look consistently horrible in photos, but much better in a mirror.
