Why do I look so horrible on my iPhone camera?

I can be taking the picture in the mirror and I still look extremely different than my mirror reflection on his camera. The coloring is off too. What's the deal?

Phone and apple cameras stink.

You could try a different angles if your features are out of proportion or you look fat.

When the coloring gets off, show the camera the a bright version of the color that is too obvious in your pictures.

It's okay, everyone does.

What's happening is that mobiles phones tend to use very wide angle lenses. Such lenses exaggerated depth and hence they exaggerate your features, so it's an effect that happens to everyone! Solution have your photo taken with a lens with a focal length greater than 50mm and you'll look much more like you!
