Brad Pitt Turns Photog; Who Snaps the Shots in Your Fam?
Brad Pitt turned paparazzi on his beloved brood for the November issue of W. While the actor, his partner, Angelina Jolie, and their six offspring — Maddox, Pax, Zahara, Shiloh, Vivienne, and Knox — often find themselves the subject of snapping shutterbugs, this time daddy Brad was behind the lens and calling the shots.
The Jolie-Pitts had Chateau Miraval in the south of France as a breathtaking backdrop and, most likely, state of the art cameras, makeup artists, and lighting technicians, but many moms and pops are able to capture their family's essence on film.

Dear Poll: Do You Consider Yourself Photogenic?
It’s true what they say about everybody being their worst critic; at least it certainly seems to be the case when it comes to our opinions of our physical attributes. Stare at a picture of yourself for even a second too long and it’s easy to start internally tallying all of the things about yourself that you don’t like.
