One study found that people who smile in childhood photographs are less likely to get a divorce.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I don't smile a lot in my pictures. I'm always so... grim.
We had all these smiley family pictures all over the walls of my house, but I always found those pictures to be odd because we weren't smiling all the time. I don't want to paint the picture of a total dysfunctional house, but there were a lot of arguments in that house. A lot of pain.
It's weird being a photographer because you really have to divorce yourself from the image.
Everyone looks so much better when they smile.
Children learn to smile from their parents.
People often expect me to be very serious, but it's not like my record company told me not to smile in photographs, because I was like that anyway.
Divorce doesn't fit my cookie-cutter image.
I think that anybody that smiles automatically looks better.
I didn't know a single female photographer who covered conflict who even had a boyfriend, much less a husband or a baby.
Sometimes when I'm being photographed, I hear the voice of this photographer who told me when I was about six while he was taking my school photo that I didn't have a nice smile, and I shouldn't smile in photos.
