On the flipside, I've met and known a metric shit ton of models in Los Angeles that were "average" looking when hanging out (sweats, no makeup, etc.) but if you took a picture, they were absolutely stunning.
The camera doesn't love everyone and most people need help.

Very very very true.
I've dated girls that were extremely attractive - including ones that didn't need any makeup to look great, and yet if I went through any pictures of her or us there would be like 1 or 2 that actually captured their beauty if you just saw her in person. And, to be fully candid, I'm in that same boat. I know I'm well above average in the looks department and done well for myself and all, but I will always know I'm not a photogenic person.
Flip side of that was like Dane was talking about. An old girlfriend of mine was at worst a solid 8 if not higher, but she KNEW how to pose for the camera. She looked damn near perfect 10 no matter what photo she took.
Nothing would freak me out more than ending up with one of these "make up" chicks that look like junkies without being done up / or no makeup
