So on LL, this is the interpretation:
"While useful for showing the importance of photography and visual images, Photographic also relates to the brain’s ability to retain and interpret visual imagery".
Do you think it relates to being photogenic, or sensitive to one's photogenic-ness if it aspects personal planets and angles? I say this because I hate the way I look in photos and it opposes my Sun-Moon conj, as well as being right on my NN so it can't bestow photogenic-ness in of itself. However, I am sensitive to they way things look and have a good visual memory which might also tie into being creative or artistic as a theme for this asteroid.
Shania Twain: Photo conjunct MC Cheryl: Trine Venus, trine ASC, quintile Sun Elizabeth Taylor: Opposite Sun Beyonce: Conjunct Sun Jack White: conjunct Pluto (suspected CR) Helena Paparizou: sextile Venus Ermal Meta (musician, songwriter): sextile Venus Megan Fox: quintile Sun My mum: square Sun, semi-square venus Bf: conjunct Venus (which is the CR). Richard Buron: conjunct Mars
Model friends: #1: Conjunct sun #2: Square moon
Musician friend: Opposes moon, sexiles Venus, squares ASC
I'm aware that my research tends to be basic. I should really look at geometric patterns and themes in a natal to get more info but time is limited so I apologise.

Thanks for the research and info FruityLlama. I'm definitely a visual learner, Cap Photographica semisextile to both my Venus and Mercury, so it's on the midpoint. Not really into taking pictures and showcasing them, just because I'd rather actually be with the people. Also seeing pics of my kids when they were smaller makes me too sentimental. Also I want a high-quality camera and some training so I could have exceptionally good pictures. Cap always wants quality and bad photography kinda gets on my nerves, another reason I'm not on social media. I was friends with a couple for a few years and saw them frequently; one of their sons has a popular YouTube channel teaching photography. I know his birthday but forget the year right now, I do know his moon sign so I can find it later.

Mine is square the nodes, Neptune and Uranus.
Can't speak for the "photogenic" aspect of things, ha. But I do enjoy taking and keeping photos. Moments, places, etc. It's highly personal, of course, so it's hard to describe the style. I even love the accidental "bad" handling and effects that are ultimately beautiful. (Of course not all screw-ups are gold, lol. It depends.). Anyway, it's not really for public consumption, just me and sometimes my friends. I guess the Neptune-Uranus flavour explains my style pretty well.
Linda Goodman was right about photography being a common lunar hobby (I'm a fairly lunar person). Speaking of, my Cancer friend and I like each other's style - so maybe the aesthetic is also somewhat "lunar" (for us). Another Cancer friend is a stunning photographer. I'll check his Photographica placecement.
:ETA: Wow, he has Photographica at 21° Leo, conjunct Mars, biquintile Neptune. His Mars is part of a three-planet stellium in Leo including Venus & Jupiter, all within 10°, so that sort of adds to it.
P.S. I see this being a Neptune thing as well.

Thank you for replying both of you! @ava I know what you mean about bad photography. My photographica is in Virgo showing my pickiness for such things as well! I just realised that being conjunct Chiron probably highlights me being self conscious about showcasing myself via photography- even if its not of me, posting pictures online or showing photos I've taken to others can feel a little out of my comfort zone. I find it weird how things look different in photos. However, I have taken so many photos of my pets now. They're so photogenic hah! My bf is a much better photographer than me and he takes photos of everything. My facebook feed is full of his tags which are mainly of food haha!! Now that I like to look at 12YearsABlob Oh I didn't realise about it being a lunar thing! I am also quite lunar- I suppose keeping memories and holding onto nostalgia is what Cancer/Lunar folks live for (well sort of, I won't exaggerate!!) Having neptune in the mix definitely sounds glamorous and having a talent for such things. I didn't think of that before, but thank you!

I used to be very reserved when it came to photographs, but recently have developed quite a "taste" for it.
For me it is on 27 Virgo - squaring my Sun on almost 26 Sag. HOwever it ALSO conjuncts my Draco DESC on 26 Virgo, and curiously enough P has Saturn on 26 Virgo, DESC on 25 Virgo and Vertex on 28 Virgo. Maybe meeting him had something to do with it, don`t know.
Well I probably would not even have a facebook account, if he hadn`t told me to get one, sort of. lol
my pr Photographica is on 6 Libra, so it must have been conjunct my natal MC on 4°58 - well it seems to be a slow moving asteroid, the conjunction was exact in 2006. lol.
Anyway my pr Moon is on 2 Libra, so in about 4 months it will conjunct pr Photographica and it has been conjunct natal Photographica in mid august last year, and was conjunct by 1 degree in mid september, when the first picture even was being taken of P and me together. lol (yeah, I know it is usual tradition to take pictures, but I´ve just avoided that for all those years), my pr Moon was by then in between my pr Photographica and his natal Vertex (all within one degree). I guess he was a little surprised. lol
Haha, his natal PHotographica is actually partile conjunct my natal Moon, albeit on the next Sabian (A Forest Fire Is Being Subdued By The Use Of Water, Chemicals And Sheer Muscular Energy)
My Moon sabian is: A Man’s Secret Motives Are Being Publicly Unmasked
Not exactly sure what it means, but it seems like we have rather interesting synastry with Photographica. Mine being on his Saturn-DESC-Vertex; his being on my Moon.
In our composite Photographica is on 7 Sag, on the degree of my natal ASC.
And for last september there was:
pr composite Mercury conjunct my natal Moon and his natal Photographica pr composite DESC-VErtex conjunct his natal DESC-Saturn-Vertex and my natal Photographica
BTW I do not really like how I look in photos either, well sometimes there will be the surprising exception to the rule, but generally I am jsut awkward looking in photos, but I do sort of like it to check my appearance and my expression from an "outside view".

I also was wishing and receiving as a birthday gift an empty photoalbum as I had the idea to start doing a "photo-diary" of the upcoming year. with real photos. Hmm danmn it I should get starting. lol I just suddenly understood why people take pictures of events and moments, it is a form of keeping the memory alive in a more tactile/ visible way and also to honour its impact on our lives. THAT is a reason I can justify before myself to take pictures of myself with... people. lol

P.S. I'm not a good photographer either, but I like taking them all the same..as long as they don't interfere with the experience itself. Also like looking at other people's clicks.

I keep meaning to scrapbook but never get around to it (it's a tad overwhelming). I just suddenly understood why people take pictures of events and moments, it is a form of keeping the memory alive in a more tactile/ visible way and also to honour its impact on our lives. Exactly. And memories are all we have. Well, for some people. *trying not to get too neurotic* Ha, anyway. I do hope you get a photo-diary and fill it with lots of colour. <3

Interesting thread Randomness: Ed Sheeren has a perfect trine between 28 Aqua sun and 28 Gem Photographica. (Everyone knows the song "Photograph" I assume.) Robert Smith of the Cure, singer of "Pictures of You" also has sun (0 Taurus) trine Photographica (28 Sag). I'm sure there are others like this but I'm tired and can't remember.

Posted by @lionmind in Friday 11 October 2019 15:11 Hi!😀 here are my sidereal positions My photographika is on 22 Gemini and 7', parallel (like conjuct) with Venus, 5 Gemini and 33' Wow!!! Perfect! Just right now I am seeing this. Trine Neptune 20 Libra and 50' Fairy magic photos I think. In reality, as usual have good photos (is very important the good psychology of curse,) and many years ago someone told me that myphotos is like ... model photos😉 I love this Asteroid💖 Lionessmind
