I edited an image to look kinda like #26 for shits and giggles because it reminded me of pics I saw as a child.  I only showed it to one person, though, haha.

Those are great. I like all of them. It kind of fits the look and feel of Click Hamilton style photography. I might even crank up the knob a little tongue

#24 - what does that guy have in his pants? And why are the top seams of his back pockets cut off?

i bet in some of these cases the clients loved them! i've been gobsmacked by the things customers like. apparently technical quality doesn't even matter a little bit to many people. or they have really bad eyes or aren't paying attention.

I like 18 and 21 hehe

Edit: It's because I dressed similarly to that in middle and high school. I made the same expressions in all the family portrait sessions my mom forced me to go to. Pretty funny to look back at.

#21 doesn't look awful to me and I am a fan of fun/funny portraits - they're for shits and giggles within the family, not fashionable, commercial or editorial but I'll smile looking back on images like these.

It would be interesting to know how many of these people went on to become serial killers.

Haha, OP, I think this was on the news lat night. I think it was called "awkward" something. I want to say moments but not sure.

C'mon man, these are classics!  Thanks for the laughs.  I needed it.  Now there should be a thread of the most awkward photos on MM.
