Posing

I am of the opinion that there are two types person, the extrovert (he who possesses an assured self confidence, not necessarily justified by any discernible talent or skill, example) and the introvert (Paul Scholes).

There is as yet no better way to decide which category a person belongs to than by pointing a camera in their face. The extrovert may display a coy shyness and protest that he or she takes terrible photos, often using phrases such as "...that bloody camera again!" or "no really, let me take one of you." This however is only a front, secretly they're thinking along the lines of a major modeling contract and conjuring up smiles that not only show off their intelligence and sophistication but also betray an as yet unknown to science sexual prowess.

Of course, all of this thought leading up to the moment of click sometimes results in the subjects' face contorting into something less than they might have hoped for. This is described well in the following example (thank god it was black and white):
Here is another example where the subjects' desire to maintain an air of cool, 'nothing phases me' sophistication has in fact rendered the photo void of any element of enjoyment that was there without him:
The introvert is one who wont even entertain the idea of being caught on film and will go to all lengths to ensure they are not represented in any digital format. Some will simply turn their back:

...whilst others use the more advanced technique of moving their head:

Add a comment, let me know which you are. I am of course an extrovert.

The MüVs recently did some professional posing, these are the ones where 1 or all us aren't let down by our covert egos. The others (and yes there are some where our naturalness shines through!) are here, all courtesy of the talented click of Mr. Dave Phunk.
We also did LBC radio recently, this is us talking about girls instead of music:

Posing isn't easy as I've learnt in recent weeks, it's definitely not something I'd like to do more of. I have a new found respect for professional posers like David Beckham, Peter Andre and my Dad - those to whom ridicule on film is now the norm.

Next gig will be The Comedy in central London, Tuesday 27th Feb - also Kate's birthday so if you're not coming you'd better have a VERY good excuse.
