In social situations, when I'm surrounded by people, I become very shy. But if there's a camera in front of me, I feel free.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
As a young person, and I know it's hard to believe that I was shy, but you could take your camera, and it would take you to places: it was like having a friend, like having someone to go out with and look at the world. I would do things with a camera I wouldn't do normally if I was just by myself.
I'm actually pretty shy in real life. But I guess in front of the camera, I focus.
I can work with shyness, but for the most part I want people to feel comfortable with me. It's really more about the photographer feeing comfortable right when they walk in that makes the subject feel comfortable.
As a little girl, I was always shy, but in front of the camera I wasn't.
I'm quite shy. Television presents an amplified version of yourself. When I'm on camera I'm pumping more adrenaline, I'm being a bit more engaging than I am in everyday conversation, but that's normal, isn't it? Otherwise nobody would want to watch.
I'm very shy in a crowd.
When I'm not doing the show, and the work has stopped, I walk into a restaurant and I'm shy; yet, when I'm in the show, when people come up with their phones and want to take my picture, I can handle it because it's almost like I'm wearing an armour.
I feel shy when people are fussing on me.
I am a very private person. I still get shy at times.
Being a shy person, I always felt strange outside with my camera.
