Why do I look bad on IPhone cameras?

When i look in the mirror, my features are fine and in proportion
but when i take either a video or a picture with my iphone camera, my features look weird and my face looks really fat.

but i do take them in fluorescent light in the bathroom too…

i don't know is it just me or is the iphone camera really unreliable?

You arent photogenic… No worries… I'm not either… We also tend to judge ourselves more harshly than others do… So a perfectly fine picture will look terrible to us bc we're our harshest critic. It isn't the camera… Its all in your head… I'm the same way.

I think it is probably the lighting but my voice sounds AWFUL on any voice recorder or microphone! I don't know why either!

  • Why does the video quality look bad when uploaded to the computer? [iPhone 4]? When I upload my video to youtube in HD directly from the iphone, I go on the computer to watch it on youtube and the quality is perfectly normal. But when I copy the file from my iphone and onto my computer the video looks grainy? I wan't to put it into after effects and do some editing but how can I go about KEEPING the quality of the video? I don't get why it gets all grainy when I put it onto my computer vs. It being perfect when I upload it directly from my ipod to youtube?
  • Why does my skin look bad on my iphone camera? I don't have acne but I have a few blemishes (not many at all) yet my skin looks dull and blotchy on my camera! Even my friends say my skin doesn't look like that in real life.
  • Why do pictures taken of tv screens look so bad? Every once in a while I'll be playing a game on Xbox and it bugs out leaving a hilarious image on my screen, but every time I try to take a picture of my tv screen the quality is terrible. My friends can do the same thing with the same phone (iPhone) and I have a normal flat screen HDTV, but they're pictures look great, sometimes even amazing with a little patience of eliminating any jiggle when taking the picture. Why is this? Maybe my tv (LCD) needs to be updated to an led?
  • Why do I look terrible in High definition cameras? I look better in Iphone/not very good quality cameras than HD cameras. Why is that? Is their anything that will make me look better in front of them?
