How scary is your passport photo?

19 Apr 2009

I have had my passport for ages now so am used to my photo but when i went into the bank the other day i spoke with a financial consultant bout stuff and to get things done i showed her my passport photo as proof of id. She looked at me then the passport, then me then the passport - this went on a few times to my discomfort as i was under pressure to get some things done.
Slowly i remembered what my passport photo looked like. i slowly struck up a bit of banter and once we laughed a bit, she said my photo looked like some guy on an american chain gang 100 yrs ago ! charming ! Anyone would have been insulted but i know the pic is very poor and she was being nice i assure you.
Surely i can not only be the one out there with a dubious looking passport photo. i aint no oil painting but i aint that bad looking in real life.
How do you look? Cameras always lie ha ha.

on my previous ID pic I was wearing a bandana round my neck. my mum said I looked like a terrorist who'd just lowered the bandana to appear on the family photo sad

Melting_pot, just me and you posting on this. I am glad i am not alone ;-).
On a different note, i don't suppose you bin to Thailand? Am planning a trip there for between 10 and 20 days and don't no the in's and out's.
Whilst on this site i may post something to get some feedback. My mates say i would love it but they aint been for ages. Not bothered bout the trouble with the protests in Bangkok.

All of my ID pics look, official. Not a smile on my face, even if I have been told to smile.

My old passport photo was hideous, my hair looked like a badly fitted wig!! So...
Knowing my new piccy was gonna be on there a long while I purposely prepared for it.. suble make up, took time wiv me straightners n some gentle lippy.. ok I thought, off to the booth.
I made sure I found a digital one that gives you options to keep or discard the photo just taken & try again, so I stayed there till I was happy
Best of all, you only need 2 pics for ya passport so I used other for my driving licence when I had to change address :D
No more embarrassment for me :P

My last passport photo looks like an escaped serial mug shot. I remember having it taken I only had three days back in the UK and had to get it sorted out pronto. If I stuck it up on here I'd never get anywhere!
Hang on a minute .........I never get anywhere anyway!
DOH!

Mine isn't to bad - I'd forgotten how short I used to have my hair.
I'm not very photogenic so rarely have a piccie taken - unless necessary confused

Join the club, I either look vacant, comatose, constipated or all three in combination . I avoid cameras by being willing to volunteer to take the pics. Or feigning sudden interest in my shoelaces.
