Further to this, UK adults have also said flash makes them feel anxious (22%) and highlights their blemishes (24%). Parts that particularly spoke to me included redefining what success means for you, as opposed to just bobbing along with whatever society tells us we ‘should’ be doing, as well as speaking about the drama and tension within families and how to not let these moments or people control your happiness or affect your stress levels. I also liked the ‘Calm Environment’ chapter, which was an interesting read covering how to make your home emit a more peaceful vibe and encourage good sleep and good feelings. I’m a big fan of decluttering my house and spaces often and it really does help my mood. However, you don’t have to miss out on capturing those beautiful moments and you can start with abandoning the flash all together” Following her own share of ‘flash ‘fails’ Fearne Cotton, Samsung Ambassador, Broadcaster, Author and Founder of Happy Place, said: “I’m no stranger to an unflattering photo and know how annoying it can be when bad lighting ruins a photo. Whether I’m trying to capture a picture of my best mates at dinner or a sweet photo of my kids, a lovely moment can be bleached out if you get too flashy.

As I’ve mentioned many times before, to me mental health and wellbeing are a big, though not often spoken about, part of being a thyroid patient. When your physical health gets hit as it can do with hypothyroidism, so can your mental health. In conversation with ITV host Charlene White at the event, Fearne spoke about how she came to make such a big life change, and focus instead on her work as a mental health advocate and host of the Happy Place podcast.

London, UK –5th June 2023 – Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd: Whether it’s proud pets, a picture-perfect sunset or a strong hair day, the nation loves to get snap-happy. However, flash users have been called out as the ultimate vibe killers, with over a third (37%) of UK adults saying they can’t stand the flash, or it makes them feel awkward. I particularly appreciated the way in which Fearne speaks about looking after our bodies, as something that should be well cared for and even admired for all it is able to do. She also advocates for embracing all emotions and instead of brushing the negative ones aside and she covers accepting mistakes and life lessons and moving on from regret. Recognise that there’s a negative side to life and that there will be tough times and challenges. You have to embrace it. We’ve got to find coping mechanisms to help us move with it, and sometimes it’s just acceptance.’ Let anxiety pass through you

The Galaxy A54 5G delivers stunning images with clear quality. For adventures after dark and in low light conditions, say goodbye to harsh flash with Light Boosting technology. Night Mode enables users to capture the brightest and clearest photos at night, using intelligent AI Pixel technology to broaden the camera’s pixel size and capture more detail. With the largest camera sensor yet in a Galaxy A Series device and optical image stabilisation, users can take blur-free photos and smoother videos even in low light environments. From bad sides to blurry eyes, Samsung reveals the camera faux pas killing the vibe in social scenarios. Capture the moment you’re in, and think, “Am I OK?” We don’t know what’s going to happen in five or 20 minutes, but in this moment we are OK – if we stop the constant future projection. We aren’t in control, and we’ve just got to go with life and see what happens. That’s literally all we can do.’ Life will be challenging, and that’s fine At times while working, she says, she ‘just sort of put this suit of armour on and did it’, but having established her podcast, she has slowly learnt acceptance and discovered how to cope with her mental health battle – something she is still doing. ‘On Monday I drove on the motorway for the first time in four years and I was so chuffed with myself,’ she told White.
Happy: Finding joy in every day and letting go of perfect Happy: Finding joy in every day and letting go of perfect
To convince the UK to go ‘flash off’ and perfect their picture snapping with every shot, Samsung is working with Fearne Cotton, to shine a light on the Samsung Galaxy A54 5G and its awesome Light Boosting capabilities. Sometimes you want to just scream, or shout, or be ratty with your partner or your mate. Just forgive yourself, and get over it. Don’t aim to be perfect in this chaos, because it’s impossible. We’re humans, and what we’re going through is really hard – even the level of anxiety and fearmongering that’s out there is hard work. Don’t aim to be calm every day, because you won’t be. It’s impossible. Give yourself a break.’ Keep the hope Try to avoid letting your inner perfectionist scrutinise every part of the photo. Pictures are meant to capture moments and the best ones are those which show real joy, so don’t feel like you need to be properly posed for every shot. Social media has changed how we take photos and has almost wiped-out un-posed pictures. In my opinion, candid can be the best. Especially if you’re belly laughing. And social scenarios are also a cause for concern. In fact, when out and about with peers, over a quarter (27%) of UK adults avoid being captured altogether, for fear of a bad photo. The study commissioned by Samsung (for the newly launched Galaxy A54 5G) found over half hate having an impromptu photo, as they worry it will capture their ‘bad side’. As many as six in 10 will make people swap places with them if they are on their bad side in a picture.
