I could never be a model/我不可能當模特

我最近一直在練習怎麼拍照。我就發現我是不可能當模特。我身材奇奇怪怪的還有我很不會看鏡頭。有些人就是很自然，生下來就很會拍照但我卻不是那種人。如果我不是太刻意我就是太壓抑，反正不自然就對了。我有在努力學怎麼拍照但對我而言不容易。這些照片全部都在華山拍的。

I’ve recently been practicing how to be a better photo subject. I don’t consider myself a photogenic person and after much practice, I’ve come to realize this: I could never be a model. Some people are naturally born good photo subjects. They interact comfortably with the lens. I am not one of those people. I’m either too forced or too constrained. The point is it’s difficult for me to be my natural self around the camera. All these pictures were taken at Hua Shan.

是不是？ 好刻意也好壓抑。。What do you think? It’s either too constrained or forced, right?

好像我一不看鏡頭就好多了。比較生活上的照片好像不錯，就是直的角度就差很多。哈哈我側面就好多了。

I tend to fare better not looking directly into the camera. I also seem to be okay with secondary shots or ‘lifestyle’ shots as people call them, not pictures that deal directly with my face. (insert joke here-)

我知道啦，看起來像我有一點憂鬱但我會承認我自己的人有時就是這樣。I know, it looks like I’m gloomy half the time. But I’ll admit, my personality is kinda like that. I’m not really gloomy, per se, but brooding for sure.

我會覺得這種照片比較自在，活潑，自然。All in all, these ‘lifestyle’ shots are more relaxed, casual, free.

我不看鏡頭就好了。I’m okay as long as I don’t look directly into the lens.

哦，也許偶爾可以直接看鏡頭。 Well, maybe it’s okay to look into the lens once in a while.
