Photography: Think Simpler

OKCupid Finds Some Amazing Facts About Attractiveness in Photos

without comments

Alex and Serenity

A friend linked me to an article that dating site OKCupid has on their blog about how photography can make you more or less attractive. According to them:

- Panasonic/Micro Four Thirds cameras make their users look the best. Second being Leica.

- Interchangeable lens cameras make users more attractive.

- iPhone users have more sex (which makes sense because of Facetime)

- Android users like me have the least sex (no comment)

The posting goes on to talk about things like Bokeh, flash, and the times of day to take your photo. Bokeh does tend to mesmerize people when they look at the photos and flash (well, lighting in general) needs to be used to the best effects.

What do you think makes people be perceived as attractive in photos? Admittedly, a pretty girl holding a Nikon DSLR, Micro Four Thirds and Leica is attractive to me. Those myspace shots and the duck lips, not so hot.
