Why do I look better in the mirror than in photos? - 2
I've seen this question asked many times on the internet and seen responses ranging from the mirror is correct to the photos are correct. My problem with photos of me is that I think they look nothing like the me in the mirror and I get looks from a considerable number of girls and a good number would consider me "cute" but there's no way the real me is in the photo if this is the case; I would have to trust the mirror.
I also notice that other people don't look so much different in photos of themselves and have heard others say how different certain people look in photos. But then again they look exactly as they do in mirror images of themselves except maybe for the paler skin since mirrors tend to take away a little color.
Cameras also have different focal lengths which can distort facial proportions. I've heard many people argue that the mirror isn't the real "you" because it's an inverted image, but that makes no difference to the shape. Words in a mirror look no different in real life other than the orientation. I'm not sure where people got "inverted image" means "opposite" or "completely different." Photos are also 2D representations, not 3D copies.
My main question is which do I trust? The mirror or the iPhone photos that friends take of me? And why do some people look no different in photos? Maybe I don't analyze them as much as I do mine or maybe I'm the one seeing something different about the photo that no one else notices?
Added (1). I also argue for the mirror because it is a direct reflection of incoming light without the series of lenses and computer chips.
Sounds like a good plan
- Why does my face look longer in my iphone camera than in the mirror? I know that the mirror is a flip of what I "really" look like, but why does my iphone camera make my face look long? Whenever I ask people what face shape I have, they usually say round. Buy when I look at myself on my iphone I see an ugly oval. Help! Here are some pictures of me: iice.tumblr.com/tagged/me
- Why do I look so different in mirror photos and iPhone recording? How can I see a accurate version of me like how others see me. I look good in mirrors ok in selfies picture on the front cam and so bad on back cam and recording in back cam. And 100% worse like it looks nothing what I look like in the mirror or selfie when I use the iPhone back cam
- Why do I look more unnatractive on iphone camera than the mirror? I was looking at myself in the mirror and than I looked at myself in the iPhone camera and I looked prettier in the mirror than on the iPhone camera/front camera Does anyone else feel this way
- Why do I look different on my Iphone camera than in the mirror? When I look at myself on my camera it looks way different than in the mirror. My face looks a lot more flawed on the camera which seems weird since the camera is digital and the mirror is in real life. Which one is more accurate?
