I think this song is saying that the media and the press takes the worse things about someone and shows it to everyone, and that those pictures could mean nothing about the actual person. The person wants to be loved for who they really are, not judged because of a photo.
I just think it's about how incredibly unfair, random and cruel the world is. Some people are ugly and they can't do anything about it and don't want to be shown pictures of themselves. As with a lot of Morrissey lyrics, as well as being very sad, it's also very funny- especially the desperate last line 'I would sooner be just blindly loved'. The subtext could read- 'well you're not going to be.'
