Most Common Facebook Photos

Facebook is a social network site that has become a cultural phenomenon stretching across the globe. Facebook has taken hold as undisputable leader amongst social networking sites. People can learn a lot about you from your Facebook profile. By considering your favorite movies, pictures, quotes and the things other people write on your wall, it is quite easy to get a good idea of who you are as a person.

Common Facebook Photos

A profile picture depicted on the Facebook may work as the first impression of you and your taste. It’s the first thing people see when they look you up. Not only that, it comes up next to every wall post, Facebook message, chat, updates and whatever you do on that website. Naturally, you are going to put a lot of thought into your photo of choice. It needs to be a good representation of who you are, be it an artist, a class clown, or any other type of person.

From a recent article published on “The Best Article Every day” I have read that people usually use only 6 basic types of photos. Here I am presenting those pictures according to the article.

1. The Flattering/Pretty Picture:

Most Common in Facebook: Flattering Photos

This moment is most typically captured by the Facebook user while at home alone. He or she will break out the camera and take anywhere from 20-76 selfies before finding the one that shows off their features the best (Read: the one where they look the hottest.). This photograph can also be taken by someone else for the sole purpose of getting a good shot for Facebook. Because why else do people take pictures alone?

2. The Crop-Out-Everyone-Who-Looks-Bad Photo

Crop out One

This photo most often appears among women (who only care how good they come out in a group shot). The Facebook member thinks she looks great (and that her cleavage is out of control), but everyone else is looking pretty blah. Not wanting to miss out on a top notch Facebook moment or have strangers wonder which girl she is in said photo, she sloppily crops the rest of the subjects out of the photo.

3. The Funny Drinking Photo:

Party or Funny Drinking Photo

This photo is the product of a drunken night during which, every photo taken is followed by screams of, “FACEBOOK!!!” This photo makes the user look cool, funny, and having more fun at their respective college than any of their friends at other (crappier) schools.

4. The Artsy Photo:

Have an Artistic Look

“Look at me! I’m so artsy! I think a lot. I want everyone to think that I am too cool for Facebook and that I rarely ever think about it, but I went to the beach to play guitar just so I could put this awesome shot on my FB profile! Did I mention I love playing the guitar?”

5. The Look-at-Me! Photo

Achivement Photos

This photo allows the Facebook user to show off some amazing accomplishment – be it winning an award, rocking a jump while skiing, or hanging out with a celebrity – without having to sound like a douche bag who announces it to everyone. Deep down, though, they hope and pray that their wall will fill up with posts of people commenting on this very awesome accomplishment.

6. The Happy Couple Photo:

Happy Couples

Everyone wants to show his happiness to all. Because once you are in a relationship, that is all that matters. Your identity is his identity. Everyone wants to show how beloved and serious they are in their relationship.
