A word used to describe someone who loves to be photographed [closed]
I am trying to figure out if there is a word to describe a person who loves to be photographed.
Solution 1:
Poser - you can use both meanings.
#1 - a person who acts in an affected manner in order to impress others.
#2 - a person posing for a picture
Solution 2:
You could use camwhore, but it has negative connotations of craving attention.
"The term "camwhore" is also used to refer to individuals who post pictures or videos of themselves on the Internet to gain attention. The term disparages those who post pictures of themselves at inappropriate times or places and usually implies self-absorption. This second usage of the term, deriding vanity and histrionics, is overtaking the prior more intuitive definition."
If you want to be a bit more positive, plain old model might work
Solution 3:
you can call them lens hog or a camera hog
from the sense of gluttony conveyed by hog
I have heard them used often. Although I have used camera whore as well, I admit it can be derogatory when used for strangers.
Another term I have encountered before and considered not to be a particularly inventive one is lensfucker - here's the definition from urban dictionary:
Somebody who loves the camera lens almost as much as they love themselves and the way they look.
- "Amy is such a Lensfucker. Just look at her scene picture on myspace. Camera Whore."
- David and Victoria Beckham are a pair of lensfuckers.
Solution 4:
Photo freak refers to someone who loves to take pictures of everything he does, and could also be used in this case.
