It\u2019s not that I hate being in front of the camera, but I\u2019ve just never felt like I quite captured my best side. That all changed the day my personal trainer decided to snap a picture of me mid-workout.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"299\" data-end=\"690\">It was a simple moment\u2014me holding a plank, feeling the burn\u2014but when he showed me the shot, I was floored. The way he had captured the line of my muscles, the light dancing off my skin, and the sheer focus in my expression made me look like someone I barely recognized in the best way possible. \u201cWow, you\u2019ve got a real talent for this,\u201d I said, laughing. \u201cYou should consider photography.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"692\" data-end=\"790\">He smiled and shrugged. \u201cIt\u2019s all about knowing how to showcase your subject in the best light.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"792\" data-end=\"1244\">Ever since then, whenever we have a session, he\u2019ll occasionally take a few photos\u2014always thoughtful, always flattering. But then I go home, and my husband, bless his heart, asks me to take a few shots for social media. I try to explain my preferences, but he\u2019s still convinced that \u201czooming in\u201d is the solution to getting a better picture. No matter how much I adjust my angle, he\u2019ll press the button, and a close-up of my face will stare back at me.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1246\" data-end=\"1390\">\u201cIsn\u2019t it good? You can see every detail!\u201d he says proudly. \u201cYeah, but maybe not <em data-start=\"1327\" data-end=\"1333\">that<\/em> many details,\u201d I think, trying to mask my frustration.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1392\" data-end=\"1645\">It\u2019s not that he\u2019s trying to ruin the photos; he just doesn\u2019t have the same instinct my trainer does. My husband\u2019s heart is in the right place, but sometimes it feels like he\u2019s more focused on capturing the moment than actually making me look my best.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1647\" data-end=\"1878\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\">And so, every time I look at the stunning pictures my trainer took, I can\u2019t help but wonder\u2014why is it that some people just have the magic touch with a camera, while others, no matter how much they try, can\u2019t seem to figure it out?<\/p>\n\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I\u2019ve always been a bit self-conscious about how I look in photos.
