[TEST] 10 Types of Photo-Taking Friends We All Have in Our Gang

Rarely does a day go by where we Malaysians don’t take a single photo; whether it’s a selfie, a photo of someone else, or a photo of our surroundings! Since taking pictures are almost a staple in our community, we’re sure you’d come across these type of photo-taking friends! See if you or your buddy is listed on this list!

1. That friend who can’t take a photo to save his life

This friend is also the very last person you’d ask to take a photo for you. Even if there wasn’t a single person around, you’d probably rather take a selfie or use the timer instead. We love you and all, but photography just isn’t your strong suit bro.

 

2. The go-to friend who takes the best, most Instagram-worthy shots

These amazing friends are the ones who’ll tell you where to stand, how to pose, and the list goes on. Not only do these photos almost always turn out looking A+, but they look super hipster too! Their editing skills are also pretty sick. Teach me sensei.

 

3. The one who stands/squats/bends/kneels in the weirdest possible angle when taking photos/videos

You never knew this friend could bend it like Beckham until you passed him your camera that one fine day. That’s one way to work your core and leg muscles.

 

4. The one who’s an actual professional photographer/videographer

Wah so beautiful!

This person is every Instagram addict’s best friend; we can 100% rest assured this guy knows the best angles, backgrounds and settings in order to take that ultimate photo of us.

 

5. That one over-confident friend who thinks his pictures are macam yes

That positioning though.

Padahal, the picture always ends up disappointing you and you always end up having to take another photo, and another, and another, and another.

 

6. The one who has extra lens/a selfie stick with them

This person is ever ready. Need a selfie of you and the background but your arms are too short? They have a selfie stick. Need a wide angle photo of the scenery? This person has an add-on lens ready.

 

7. That friend who only takes selfies

Especially for us girls, we love taking selfies. Who needs a photographer when we’re strong, independent women of the 21st century who can do everything ourselves.

 

8. The one who doesn’t count to three

So you end up with photos like these; with people blinking halfway, mid-cough, looking somewhere else or not fully smiling. If you don’t mind, I would like to know the exact second I’m supposed to stop blinking and when I should put on a proper smile. 

 

9. The annoyed friend who barely wants to layan you

You practically have to beg them to take a picture of you. Even if they agree, one click is all they will do! Want another picture? Nope, not gonna happen.

 

10. That friend with the insanely shaky hands

This is the worst, regardless of whether or not it’s a photo or video, when you’re someone with shaky hands, photos always turn out blur and videos always come out shaky. Sometimes, it’s not even your fault, but because the object in focus is constantly moving or you’re the type outdoorsy, active person, taking blurry photos is almost inevitable. The struggle is real.

If you’re one of those people, we completely relate. Don’t fret though, we have the perfect solution for you, and this solution comes in the form of Sony’s brand new Action Cam.
