It depends how you define beauty. In real life, facial mobility and expressions contribute to your perception of their beauty. In photographs, that doesn't come across. Everyone can look horrid in a photo - double chin, big nose, bitchy resting face, etc. You really have to figure out how to pose and how to pretend to look natural for a photograph. Practice in front of a mirror. Models learn how to do this.

This.  Some people's looks just don't translate well to a two-dimensional still image.  I always look like I have a huge double chin in photos that I don't have when I look in the mirror.  I don't have a really well-defined chin.   I also have a bit of a baby face, and that translates in photos to a fat face.  If I want to take a good photo, I have to pose really carefully, not smile too much, etc.  I know other people like this--in real life, they are perfectly normal-looking, but their photos just kind of distort everything.

My husband photographs really well.  His face is more angular than mine.[/quote]
