It's a well-known stereotype that guys care less about the details when it comes to aesthetics; we are kind of chill about things like lighting, mood, and colors, just as long as the desired message gets across. This post reinforces that cliché and then some; it's girlfriend's pics of their beloved Vs. boyfriend's awkward photos.
You can see the method in the girlfriend pics: nice lighting, a good angle to make you look photogenic, and the timing of pose that suggests that she took a few photos at the same time and chose the one you are looking good in. On the other hand, there are the boyfriends. The timing suggests they took a few and chose the worst one, or simply waited until they could capture her at her most hilariously awkward facial expressions. Because, you know, it's funny!
Perhaps it's just a matter of goals. Maybe girlfriends want to photograph their guys at their smoldering best, capturing not just their looks but their unique personalities too, because that's what she would want. Boyfriends might prefer funny photos of a goofy shared memory, who cares about your 'good side?'
Either way, the list makes for some hilarious comparisons, so you know the drill: Scroll on down and check the funny faces and the hilarious 'caught in the act' poses out for yourself!

Boyfriends win. The pics of the guys are when they're looking close to the girls' ideal. The pics of the girls are of why the guys fell in love with them.

OMG, my husband is totally the same. He says he loves to take photos but he never wears his friggin glasses and he has a lazy eye so his depth perception is all off. His pictures of me are all "Study #47 of Headless Blob." I'm like, "Babe, why don't you wear your glasses and have the friggin surgery your doctor had been recommending you have for years?" (Oh and take a class on lighting and composition but I don't say that part out loud ).

I think this one of the gf is much more interesting. I like the light just above and behind the head and there is more of a story to it. Has fairly sharp detail. Good job. Good shot.

I can't help but wonder if the boyfriend took this to show her how she eats...face nearly touching the table, frankly, as an animal does. He knew this was a completely unflattering pose. This is very cringy all around.

Really like the shot on the left. I don't normally like when shots are off kilter but this one works for me. Love the little lens flare. It tells a story, like all good shots. Way to go. I been playing around with photography for 25+ years and I have only taken one shot that I felt was really awesome. That's kinda depressing but I already know I am way to critical on my own stuff. You've got a possible future in this! Nurture it.

It must be a guy thing to wait until they are stuffing their faces to snap the pict because the majority of these are that way. Maybe they are trying to be cute / funny?

LOL. I love that! You are on a date and are nervous. I know let's whip out the old smartphone and pose the poor subject for a shot! I'm not making fun of you, I really love it! Way to have fun and loosen up. Great job. I also love that you had to retake his photo but didn't demand a re-take for yourself? He didn't demand to re-take his shot of you? Oh man! Still, great attitude! Great job!

Great story! Typical guy! She's getting yanked under the table by the creature from the kitchen and he just sits and snaps a pic. Don't forget to smile! I bet he tossed the creature a tums afterward. Seriously though, great story. Both pics are in focus, both manage to highlight the fore and background. Nice lighting for a bright restaurant.

Shot of bf is good but I actually love the shot of gf. To me it is much more interesting when the subject is in focus and the rest is a bit blurred. I like the way the eye goes right to subject yet the background kinda teases you into wanting to know what it looks like as well. Great light. I really like this one. Stick with taking pictures, both of you!
PeachPossum 6 years ago
Composition is interesting as well. She is not smack dab in the middle of the frame, which is a common mistake among amateur photographers. They also don't pay attention to what's in the background -- like the building in the bf photo: it looks like he's wearing a big hat.

The shot of the girl is way better - off centre composition adds drama and makes her seem way cool.

I love both of them. The shot of the bf shows that he's an average guy. He's got a girlfriend but prefers playing his video game. Dude, you got a joystick sticking out of your phone! Doesn't that poke your head when you try to answer the phone? Gotta love the shot of the gf as well. Out of focus but still great. In fact, I'd argue that due to her expression and subject matter of the shot it looks more rushed and hurried and more honest. She looks amazed that he was able to put the game down long enough to snap a pic of her eating cheeseballs. Sister, where are you that you got a giant container of cheeseballs sitting in the seat next to you? Both great shots!

I would believe you. Both awesome shots! If I had to choose a fave it would be the shot of the gf. I love the color, subdued lighting and the way she looks so engaged in what she's looking at or thinking of. Awesome job to you both. And I just realized that the shot of the bf is next to oversized table and chairs. Awesome use of black and white colors without going into b&w and the shadows really set it off. Kinda hard to look all serious when you are standing next to 12 foot table and chairs! Just awesome!
