It amazes me how many of the women I meet and photograph end up saying something along the lines of "I don't think I'm all that photogenic".

Now in Lydia's case, given what she told me after I got her to smile, I can understand given she'd had... a rough day, to say the least. And the day being gloomy, gray skies and clouds with rain coming through periodically, definitely didn't help.

But my favorite shot (so far) is Chloe and she said she wasn't "picture ready". So it's left me wondering what constitutes "photogenic" or "picture ready". Or whether the women I've encountered merely don't realize they are.
