Comments on: Say Cheese! http://awkwardfamilyphotos.com/2009/09/23/put-on-a-happy-face/ Spreading the Awkwardness Sat, 11 Feb 2012 17:11:32 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Lee http://awkwardfamilyphotos.com/2009/09/23/put-on-a-happy-face/comment-page-2/#comment-200189 Lee Sun, 08 Aug 2010 05:05:33 +0000 http://awkwardfamilyphotos.com/?p=4450#comment-200189 These comments about this picture just showing "unfortunate" looking people are really strange and disappointing. The baby is cute but is making a funny face. The woman is smiling nicely, 70s fashion notwithstanding. The man however looks likes he's just showing his teeth, with no smile expression at all - maybe the photo was snapped at the wrong moment mid-smile. That seems more awkward than "unfortunate". If you felt like an equal you'd laugh, not feel pity. These comments about this picture just showing “unfortunate” looking people are really strange and disappointing.

Brown Sat, 10 Oct 2009 03:17:49 +0000 http://awkwardfamilyphotos.com/?p=4450#comment-83661 I am a professional photographer and this pose is so strange to me. Why would someone place an infant in a poser and stand the parents behind them in this manner... the posing is completely off. They should have sat the parents down in a more natural pose with them holding the baby. No infant at this age sits up anyway and it is completely the pose itself that causes this portait to be awkward. Being a photographer I can't tell you how many times someone went to speak or readjust as the flash went off... capturing odd/funny expressions at times. Just one of those great moments, and honestly probably a newer photographer who was still in the learning stage of knowing what poses work and what poses don't.
