Whether we are born photogenic or not is a matter of luck that does not depend on our will. In any case, to get a good shot, it is sometimes necessary to make several attempts. This is how celebrities, even with all their glamour, appear underwhelming in some photographs if, for example, they are caught distracted or in the wrong light.
It is not strange, therefore, that we see perfect images on celebrities’ social media. Still, then other shots of the same event taken by photographers are posted with quite different results.
