Why does my face look unsymmetrical in photos?

I take my picture on my IPhone using snapchat and my face looks pretty symmetrical, as it is when I look in the mirror. Although, when I take a picture using my camera on my phone, my face looks very unsymmetrical. Is it unsymmetrical or symmetrical in real life?

It's symmetrical in real life. It just looks unsymmetrical because in snapchat and on mirrors the imaged is flipped, and you have gotten used to looking at the flipped image.

What you see in the mirror is opposite of what your camera sees. All the photos you take are flipped horizontally, if you want it to look proper you can use a photo editing app to flip them back to the way they're supposed to be. I do other edits so I use art studio, it's available on AppStore, I'm sure there's other apps that can do the same thing.

  • Why does my face look so long in my iPhone? When I look in my mirror I look okay. I'm comfortable with it. I look pretty. But when I take pictures with my iPhone my face and forehead looks LONG even when someone else takes the pictures from few feet away. I also look horrible in them. Should I rely more on the camera or the mirror? ALSO, I like how I look in a digital camera. The mirror and digital camera give me a similar look, but I look even better in the mirror. Is it just my iPhone?
  • 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 does my face look fat/rounder in pictures? Whenever someone takes a picture of me with either a cellphone camera or regular digital camera I look awful! My face looks thinner in all mirrors I look in to. My mom has a picture of me with my face looking horribly round and huge. It was taken with an iPhone camera. So I don't know if it's the camera or if its me. Pictures make me feel insecure. A lot of times I see pictures of myself I feel like I'm looking at a different person!
  • Why does my face look completely asymmetrical? I know everybody's not symmetrical but i look fine in the mirror but then when i take photos with certain cameras like with a crappy iphone camera my face looks really messed up. Nose bent to one side, one eye higher than the other and different sizes, lips looks messed up do people see me like i do in the mirror or in photos?
