That’s sure a fun way to capture genuine smiles out of just about everyone!

I hate getting my picture taken and being told to smile. I can't force that. I've just started giving thumbs up instead to say "Although my face doesn't say it, I'm content with the situation."

Same for me . It makes me feel so weird and unnatural in my pictures

Instead of smiling just act like you’re subtlety laughing.

For photo smiles, I have to think of something that actually delights me, or at least makes me involuntarily smile because it’s so inappropriate.

The things I’m thinking when photographed smiling are usually not anything that someone might expect from that situation.

A good photographer gets genuine smiles out of the subjects.
