Is it deliberate that I've never seen a media outlet publish a flattering photo of her?

That said, when the movie is inevitably released they'll probably cast Scarlett Johansson or Cailee Spaeny as her.

Nearly all of the photos of her I can find are of her walking to and from a car. The others (which were very few and only one of which I thought was a good photo) seem like social media pics that news agencies probably couldn't publish. That does make more challenging to get a good picture of her, but I have a hard time believing they couldn't have done better that the one at the top of the article. It's particularly bad.

It's not their fault: https://www.google.com/search?sca_esv=38054e44cdb63b92&sxsrf...

just looks like a normal person who is not posing for a photo, not some influencer

To me it looks like when you take a bunch of pictures while someone is talking and some of them look extremely awkward because their mouth in a weird shape.

So find a better one: https://www.google.com/search?sca_esv=38054e44cdb63b92&sxsrf...

I analyze these in another comment.

How attractive you find this woman really isn't material to how good or bad a photo is. If you've never seen a horrible photo of yourself, it's because your friends deleted them.

Non responsive. All of her photos are bad ... this one, catching her moving, actually makes her look better than most.

And what photos I've seen of myself is irrelevant, and "your friends deleted them" is dumb ... most of the photos I've seen of myself were taken by me, and many of those were on something called "film". (And yes, of course some are distorted because I was moving, the angle or lighting was bad, etc. ... none of this is relevant.)

I won't respond further.

I think you don't understand photography.

or cause I’m just that good looking (I am)

This one is NOT normal person not posing. This one happen to be "exaggeratedly surprised face expression" phote.

That's just how she looks. Hence all the "pin the weasel" mockery.

there are some but they required this amount of processing https://www.bostonglobe.com/2022/12/06/business/caroline-ell...

literally my first thought every time I read an article about her. She's either the least photogenic person ever, or this is intentional.

Perhaps she is just unattractive…

I was going to push back at that assumption ... until I looked her up: https://www.google.com/search?sca_esv=38054e44cdb63b92&sxsrf...

Some people are just not aesthetically pleasing.
