Taking pictures of your girlfriend or boyfriend is just part of a relationship. Taking good pictures, however, seems to only be something that girlfriends can accomplish. In fact, boyfriends might be some of the worst photographers on the planet if these pictures are any indication.
Here are fifty girlfriends who took perfect pictures of their boyfriends – and fifty boyfriends who seriously need to take a photography class.
See for yourself!
She took a nice picture of her boyfriend.
She was hoping for the same in return. Well, it’s a picture anyway.
These tweets all started with @aleeomo on Twitter posting a photo of her boyfriend versus one he took of her.
It seemed like just about every girlfriend on the internet responded with her own.
They decided to take pictures of each other at the beach.
What could go wrong? The answer to that: his ability to capture the right moment.
She takes nice pictures of her boyfriend.
He creates alien art. It’s not quite comparable.
Getting a picture of your snoozing other half can be adorable.
The key phrase here is “can be adorable.” Apparently, this boyfriend didn’t manage the task very well.
Not everyone is happy until they have had their coffee. Maybe he should have just waited until she drank it.
Just because you took a perfect pic of him doesn’t mean you should expect the same.
Never expect the same …
All good photographers consider the background when they snap a photo.
Then there are boyfriends. Boyfriends are so in love with you that they forget about the background and take the worst picture on the planet.
That’s the story we’re sticking to.
Photography is also about capturing those pearly whites in the perfect smile.
Or, you know, you could just wing it and click whenever.
What is the best moment to capture someone while having a meal?
The answer is not while they’re chewing it.
Timing is everything to catch the right pose.
She gets it. He might still need to work on it a little.
Taking pictures with food is acceptable. Just maybe next time wait for a moment that isn’t right after the one in which she ate a hot pepper.
Another thing photographers can teach us is how to capture a crisp image. The first step is catching your subject when they’re not in motion. The next step is not annoying your girlfriend.
Outdoor scenery can add a lot of appeal to a photo. However, you still need to give your girlfriend a chance to pose.
Photos with a baby are always the best. They’re almost foolproof. Almost…
Another secret to taking the perfect picture while eating is to make sure they aren’t actually eating. Oh well. At least the food looks good.
#17 The path to perfection
This girlfriend takes pictures so well that she made her boyfriend look like a genuine model. If only they could manage to have matching modeling photos. She might be waiting for a while.
She took a snapshot that captured his essence and one very natural smile.
He just captured her smile.
Sometimes, it just takes a few tries to get the perfect shot.
Sometimes it never happens, no matter how many times you try. At least he put in the effort.
He looks like a movie star in the making.
She’s just a blur.
Here, the girlfriend actually manages to take a photo of her boyfriend eating and still manages to do it without making him look bad.
You might be a photographic genius. If only it would rub off on him.
You already have a phone.
Just give up and get a photo of the two of you together. Make sure she’s the one taking it!
She captured his personality. He captured hers too, just maybe not with the same awesome lighting.
This is actually kind of cute. He took a picture of her from a taller perspective. Maybe that’s just how he sees her when they stand together.
It’s not hard to understand what the girlfriends are going through.
They’re beautiful, but these pictures really aren’t showing it.
If we must judge, neither of these is a perfect picture.
However, the one of her is just a little too real.
What even went wrong here?
It’s the same location, but she’s squinting, and even the picture quality is vastly different.
You can tell she has a great smile.
He just has to work on actually taking a picture of it.
Maybe there is something about being female that just leads to taking reasonably good pics. Whatever it is, it doesn’t seem to be attached to the male chromosome.
If there is one thing that we have learned from this is that you can take nice pictures of your boyfriend. Just never expect one in return.
At this point, to save the relationship, just hire a professional photographer.
We promise that you will not regret it.
Blur happens when objects are in motion.
She’s not even moving. How did he manage to make her blurry?
Maybe he thought the picture of her would be cute.
She has much better taste when it comes to what will make a good photo.
There really does seem to be an epidemic of bad photos. Why can’t boyfriends take good pictures?
No, this isn’t going to do. Go back and try again. What was he thinking? More importantly, what did she think when she finally saw the photo of herself?
He looks trusting.
She looks distrusting. Maybe they both already know about the other’s photo-taking abilities.
It’s hard enough to take the perfect picture.
Cameras can be the enemy when you’re having a bad hair day. But this takes it to a new level.
We all know how an Eiffel Tower photo is supposed to go.
It’s a basic concept, really. What went wrong? It’s not like they’re going to be able to take another one next month.
They both make awesome models with their dual poses.
We can see how they ended up together. They’re in sync. Well, they’re in sync in everything except photography itself.
Hitting rotate on a pic isn’t too difficult these days.
At least then the photos would line up together.
Girlfriends and boyfriends aren’t the only couples going through this.
The struggle is real.
Putting in extra effort is important.
We can’t promise it will help, but it’s important.
They took these while sitting at the same table on the same day.
Yet it’s uncanny how different the two are.
She took a creative photo.
He turned her into a fuzzy blur. It’s almost the same thing, right? Maybe it’s just artistic differences at this point.
She took a gorgeous photo of him.
He didn’t do the same for her, but the expression on the face of the dog behind her more than makes up for it.
#46 Can you fire a boyfriend?
At least don’t use him as a photographer.
This especially applies if you still want your self-esteem.
These were taken moments apart.
Maybe a cloud saw a boyfriend about to take a perfect photo and knew it needed to intervene. Maybe life is like one of those mystical legends, but in this one, the perfect photo leads to the end of the world.
Hey, you never know. After all, we can’t explain all of these bad photos logically.
There is one more photography rule someone forgot to tell this boyfriend.
Do not move the camera while taking the shot.
As long as we have the people we love in our lives, that’s all that should matter.
After all, there are still selfies. Stick with the selfies …
Actually, this one is unique enough that it has an artist’s touch.
Maybe we finally found a boyfriend with picture-taking abilities. It’s all about perspective.
