He's "usually" in the mood for taking a picture

Imagine, just for a second, being Justin Bieber.

You're latest track has been number one in 21 countries but every time you step outside you're faced with MORE screaming fans who want a picture.

Some will have waited for hours but you're just not up for a quick photo. It's a tough gig.

But thanks to some Snapchats from Justin, Beliebers know that if he's not in the mood "screaming louder" might not be the best way to get a selfie.

Sssshhhh! That's not going help

He said: "The way that you ask or approach me when you want a photo with me is going to determine if I take a photo or not.

"If I'm walking somewhere or arriving somewhere and you guys asking to take a photo... if I continue to walk the likelihood is that I probably don't want to take a photo at that moment."

Without appearing in any of the videos, obviously one of the moments he doesn't want to be on camera, Justin explained he "just wants us to be on the same page".

He went on to say that if he's not looking keen, there might not be much you can to convince him to take a picture.

"If you start screaming louder that's not going to make me want to take a photo more.

"I want to enjoy the moment as much as you're enjoying the moment but I can't enjoy it if I'm not feeling like there's any respect given to me at that point."

Luckily, Justin said: "Usually the chances are I'll take a photo.

"But if perhaps I don't, or I'm in a mood where I'm not trying to take a photo at that moment... please just respect me and treat me the way you would want to be treated.

Justin ended the series of posts by asking fans to reflect on why it is that they've waited outside for him.

"Why did you travel to see me in the first place? Was it really to see me or was it to get that moment of you seeing me so that you could tell people about it?"
