- let's talk about CONFIDENCE + how i edit my photos! try out EPIK here: epik.onelink.me/LMez/oeqfhja3
today we're discussing how to be photogenic and comfortable in front of the camera, how to pose, along with a tutorial on how i edit my photos for instagram (@vuongdustin). i sort of feel like the era of youtube "tutorials / how i edit" is over, but maybe some you guys will find this useful anyways lol. also i sometimes feel nostalgic for old youtube so this is filling that gap for me.
lots of love,
dustin

"learn to accept how ur face looks"
i LOVE this advice. i used to always point to myself that "my dark circles are so obvious" "my eyebrows arent perfectly even" "my face isnt symmetrical" and it pulled me down A LOT. but when i decided to stopped pointing out these little things, i started to genuinely say "that little thing is a part of me and it goes well with my whole face." and i started to actually see myself as presentable & attractive
I love this
love this, the points you made about just accepting your face are so true, life is so much less stressful when you just have acceptance for everything about yourself ✨
Purrrr
ive thankfully started to do this more often, and ive realized how much i hate taking pictures with the filters on instagram. i was so confused honestly.
i've tried- still can't do it.
@@fairyfarms honestly I know how you feel, but please don’t give up
@@hellosarah_ the thing is mirror me is not the same as the me in a photo others took of me..so idk how others see me....
"if you're ugly in that photo, you were just ugly in that moment" idk why BUT THISSS is revolutionary
Right!! And it goes hand it hand with the thing about how no one is obligated to look pretty. Like at all. Looking strange or seemingly unattractive doesn’t have to be a bad thing.
@@lillyblair3056 YUP I AGREE a way i’ve found to practice this mentality is by wearing outfits out even if i think they are slightly ugly likeee- that doesn’t mean it’s a bad thing
@@yatzn02 I love that for you! My favorite thing to do is find pieces that are attractively ugly. I’ll be shopping and just go “wow that’s hideous I need need it!”
😂
My problem is that I like my face when I am taking selfies, where I have 100% control of the angle and how my expression is, but every group pic at restaurants or in general pictures that other people take of me, look so bad. Sometimes it´s meme material bad but sometimes it is just... crazy person on drugs plotting a murder.
Like it physically hurts to look at pictures of myself. idk. anyway, i´ll try lol
Felt
Just know you're not the only one:)
i suggest seeing kaiti yoo's advice on how to get good photos! i learned that when you want someone to take a photo of you, communication is key! tell them exactly what you want; what should be in the photo, how you want the angle to be, etc
altho bear in mind, if you have my luck; my family members would take awful shots and not listen to a word i said 😭
@@nallyaaaaaa omg i love her!
@@Jeatti ah i know how that feels too! i hope we'll both be able to have nicer photos in the future and like how we look ^^
The whole vibe that Dustin gives off is just so calming to me idk (but what I do know is that whenever I feel negative, I would rewatch his videos, feel good, and then go back to acting like a main character afterwards) 🤣♥️
Our queen just dropped a tutorial on how to slay
this came at a perfect moment! i plan to take LOADS of photos this summer lol
the face thing is so important! im dealing with a lot of face and body dysmorphia and sometimes it goes so hard i dont want to go out of my house. learning to just "deal with it" and trying to accept the way you look is very important, even if you dont particularly love the way you look, just accepting it as it is can be more than enough
also the part about embarassment!!!! ive had SO many missed opportunities to take a nice photo just because there were other people around 😭 i need to learn how to pose less awkward and just TAKE THOSE PICTURES. i absolutely need them.
my fav tip to get more comfortable with cameras is taking a lot of goofy, silly pictures first - some pics that arent supposed to look good. if you can make a silly face or do something dumb on camera, you sure as hell can show off your outfit or pose nicely.
i have a picture of me kneeling as if im praying to an art piece by dorian electra in a museum, i have a picture of myself running away from rain, i have a picture of my drinking monster for the first time, i have a picture taken at the new minions movie show - just random pictures. it helped me sooooo much
as a fat person, following other fat people on instagram helped me up my selfie game like 1000% omg seeing the beauty in people who look like me and seeing them taking up room and centering their bodies in that way really made me want to do it too!! anyway great advice and great video!!!
needed this! i’m always embarrassed when taking photos in public and never know what to do or how to pose, so thank you!!
Honestly this was the dragging that I need tbh
HAHA
when i see how many people relate to the part about accepting your natural face is so sad like we are all unique and pretty and beauty is not something you can define bc theres always something beautiful or nice about the other person:( and how social media made us feel bad about being ourselves when we dont facetune/edit our photos ugh i hate beauty standards that no one can achieve by just being born when most of these people (influencers and celebrities) had something done (i dont shame them but they dont admit it and lie about it most of the time) or the edit their photos so much that they dont even look like themselves
my problem is that im not comfortable with other people taking my photos because they know how i look but i don't and at least the people i usually hang out with wouldn't say anything even if the pose looked bad and stuff but on the other hand im very awkward to go out alone and i definitely wouldn't take a picture alone :/
I missed your videos soo much!!! I kinda binge watch your vlogs back in 2019-2020 but i got really buzy and forgot about you tbh but now im finally back and omg let me tell you this your videos didn't change its still as comforting as before
someone asked me recently what made me happy and it dawned on me I've just been doing things to procrastinate but had nothing that made me happy. I'm trying to revisit the things i remembered i loved watching you videos. you make my world feel almost dreamy and mystical. thank you dustin. you make me happy again.
I’m not lying here but whenever I wanna take time off, kinda my self care time, I come to TH-cam watch Dustin. He is so freaking calming and pleasing to listen to, funny, aesthetic, humble. Everything man
a new dustin video is pure happiness to me
Absolutely needed this video from you bae
this is a super helpful video, dustin! i've always struggled with my self-esteem in taking photos, even now that i've come to be more comfortable in my own skin, so this came at the right time. my goal is to feel better in front of a camera, since i feel like i don't take that many pictures of myself. your advice really shifted my perspective, and i'll definitely be applying it in the future!

DUSTIN YOURE A LIFE SAVER I DESPERATELY NEEDED THIS
Lately I have been feeling so insecure and I been wanting to post more pics and this is going to help me so much !! Thank you !!!!
UGH, I LOVE YOUR HAIR SO MUCH
YUUEESSSSSSSS I WAS FEELING BAD AND HAVING SUCH A BAD DAY THEN I GOT YOUR Notification❤️💋
Perfect video to end my birthday , thank u Dustin😁
i am so impressed with your editing skills in this video! it looks like you put a lot of effort in it and we appreciate it so much!
i meant like editing the video not the actual editing a photo but both r super cool!!
LOVE YOU DUSTIN
Ily for this
2:36 the hard truth 😭😭
omg i was about to look up this kind of video and this aperad in my recommended thank u so muchhhh.
i feel like im a good looking girl but i don’t have that photogenic part in me, so i feel like this video is going to help 💗✨
you are sm pretty 💘
slayed with this one dustin
Thank you Dustin now I'm exited to take photos of my self ❤
Why is your voice so soothing ✨✨✨?
thank you 👊
I find this video that i need a whole the time love these tips so much ✨💗
this was so helpful dustin ur a blessing🫶🏻
I like how realistic this advices are
when i was younger i used to take photos ONLY WITH FILTERS ON but because of that i started to hate myself even more for how i look because they changed the shape of my face or they made my face smaller or the nose/other areas of face or made my eyes look so much bigger and now i only use filters to smooth my skin when i have a day with some pimples and i feel so much better about my face and slowly about my body (im midsize/plus size) so these tips/advices were really useful and practical + im gonna use some of the poses now and ill try to feel less embarassed/awkward when i take the picture and give tips to my friends bc i always complain how they dont take the picture how i want to but i never show them in the first place so its kinda hypocritical haha anyways i loved the video and the shirt you have on love ya dustin
you're such a beautiful person
i needed this video so much 💗💗💗 thank q
You inspire me 💜
ayo (not fully related to the editing) but that photo of you looks so goodd

15:33 I ALWAYS THOUGHT THAT ToT
Thank you so much💖
i use epic and it's the best editing app out there!
Similarly, Ive had too completely overhaul the way I approach exercise. My whole childhood, I was obsessed with wanting a flat stomach. I know it came from family - brown, immigrant families have no filter or awareness of the impact of their comments. Now I try really hard to work out because its medicine for my depression and try to remember its not about pushing myself to oblivion every time I get on the mat. I live my the notion of consistent mediocrity now, just a consistent 60% effort for my brain.
I began posting my workouts on my channel, so I'd have a visual to SEE with my own eyes, that I'm getting stronger, and better at yoga/pilates and exercise isnt just about trying to be thin.
i love u and thank u
What happened to me it is that i feel that i am more beautiful when i see myself in the mirror but not that much in photos, i'm accepting it but it's frustrating
Thank you 🙏🏾🙏🏾
the tip about following people who look like you tho. so helpful for accepting you'll never be white lmfao
You’re adorable,Dustin.
☹💕 yayyy thank you for posting
omg you are so cute! and I laughed a little lol>< thank you for this tips! I will use it :)
ah yes my therapy youtuber
First ♡
OMG HAHAHA I just realized how similar we are, especially the editing part where you don't like to edit till 6 or 8 but rather 5 or 10 etc. And about taking bomb pics to show our kids in future and they can look cooler Infront of their friends by showing our old pics etc. The part where you said to accept how we look that's really difficult, I like how I look Infront of the mirror but when someone takes a pic of me omg looks like a potato n that makes me tear up.
I stopped caring how I look in photos when I realized how's many ppl I know who look so freakin good irl butin photos they look "mehh" - i discovered this when I looked at photos of my brother and his girlfriend (professionally taken and all) , i usually don't see many photos of him but in those my thoughts were just, in felt bad for him bc I realized looking at those photos he must think he is not good looking or anything bc he doesn't see himself irl , ya know what I mean? and that realization hit me so hard bc he is actually so good looking irl (i hope this doesn't sound weird since he is my brother, but I think we are allowed to acknowledge if our siblings are objectively attractive) and I used to be so jealous of him (idk if I'm ugly or pretty or whatever, tbh, i just look like me and some days I think I'm actually kinda cute and some days the opposite, but I just used to want to look as conventionally attractive as him)
ever since I have noticed that phenomenon with so many ppl i meet who I think are just so perfect looking but in their photos they sometimes look like a different person (and I don't just mean ugly snapshots, i mean even in their ig pics or sth -they just look miles better irl!)
so yeah that's when I stopped obsessing over it
this was so helpful
dang dustin.. if i only my face was pretty like dat.😔😔💀 i wouldn't need these videos
Am listening to a professional WOW
mengkeren banh 😅👆
Anyone know where I can find the shirt he’s wearing at the beginning of the video?
❤
hi dustin
May I ask what frame rate do you use in recording your videos?
tuyệt vời anh ơi 💖✨
WHOOPP
i opened youtube and this is the first thing that showed up on my home page while i was going on a walk trying to take good photos of me during golden hour…guess what? i deleted all the photos 😍
2:38 dustin you hurt mee
Imagine Dustin starting a podcast…
i have a podcast on my patreon ;)
how does he get the slight film camera effect?
HIII
I just don't agree with "if you look bad in the photo you just looked bad that day" cuz the camera distorts the shit outta you lol I've seen friends of mine look completely normal irl and then look awful in pictures. So much goes into what makes you look bad in a photo, unflattering lighting, angles, camera distortion, etc. Anyway, great video nonetheless!
Whta filter do u useee??
What is the Polaroid camera that you own? 🥕
I need help taking photos as a cubby faced girly/ boxy faced girly
do you have pinterest, i feel like i'd be so good

LOL "Your face is YOUR FACE" but actually facts tho...
Can you share with me some good tote bags (men preferably), please?
Candid photos is my biggest enemy. I look absolutely disgusting in candid photos.
