Why do I look so bizarre?

[hmpf]

(Not ugly, mind you. Just... really, really odd. The proportions of my face are weird, and the face as a whole is just disproportionally huge, as well. And in at least half of all photos of me I look as if I'm *just* this side of manic. How am I supposed to find an appropriate photo for my application papers if I can't look 'normal' in a photo?)

(No, I'm not going to post a picture. But, for the curious, here's some puzzle pieces: *huge*, slightly non-symmetrical eyes; *huge*, oddly shaped nose; rabbit-like front teeth that, obviously, show very much when I smile or laugh; and very thick, dark eyebrows. Which probably makes me sound a bit more bizarre than I do look... The main problem is the eyes, really. I often look as if I'm seeing angels and demons, or something. As I said: just this side of manic. *Not* the first impression you want prospective employers to get...)

Photographers...

[hmpf.livejournal.com]

I've tried photographers, and the pictures are always of a very particular kind of horribleness. *g* I just can't smile on cue.

I'm not really that picky, either. I'd just like a picture on which I look somewhat natural, but also trustworthy and professional. But, as I said - all the pictures I've tried so far either make me look *incredibly* tense (and you may not mind that in an application photo, but from what I've heard, quite a few people *do*), or completely mad.
