That awkward moment when you don't look good in both

[cyberpunk]

Wondering why I looked hot in mirror but like a goblin in camera shots

[alasurro]

So the mirror is the real one, Thank god!

[Laughingcoyote]

For the longest time growing up, I absolutely hated how I looked in photos and always avoided joining in group photos with friends and family. So much regret looking back with all those captured memories and me not being in them. My self esteem was basically rock bottom as a teen

It's not possible to be attractive in a mirror & not in real life people need to stop worrying! Yes it's a reversed image but look at someone you know in a mirror they essentially look the same to how you see them IRL, same applies to you.

When I was studying photography. I was told the perfect lens to get accurate face portrayal was a 50mm lens.

This is one of those rare YouTube shorts that actually contains useful information…

Okay I look absolutely disgusting in pictures, but I look acceptable in the mirror when I get ready. It’s given me serious photo-insecurity. To the point when I see someone taking pictures I duck out or have a bathroom emergency.

The disappointment of doing this trend with a wide face 😂I was expecting to look cute, instead I’m a potato

Finally someone said it!! Lots of videos trying to explain the difference between mirrors and phone cameras solely focus on the habit of the reverse image. While it's also true, this lens deformation thing is a much better explanation

I truly believe that a mauve larger percentage of humans are actually beautiful and would look great in films. Most of us just never get to be filmed with such high quality cameras, lenses, and oat of us ever get professionals to light the set, most of us don’t have companies and designers sending us free fancy clothes to wear. Most of us don’t have a professional editor to edit and color grade. If everyone had what famous people had, then most of us would be just as captivating on camera. And the masses would come to know our faces and see beauty in our features that they would have never noticed had we just walked by them or posted an IPhone selfie online.

that's why I could ruin my day just by looking at the phone camera to see if my hairs ok and see a musty squished bean just to get home to a mirror and it turns out to be completely fine

[Jennifer_Lewis_Beach_Living]

That’s true. This is why dating profile experts recommend a professional picture or someone take the picture for you rather than a selfie because the selfie distorts the facial features.

I look weird in selfies. This explains a lot. My nose isn't my best feature, but in selfies it looks like I need emergency plastic surgery.

[amarug]

this relates to my "theory of photogeneiety". i always wondered why some people look quite like themselves on pictures while others go from a 8 in real life to a bare 5 on most pictures. my hypothetical answer was always that some people have their features structured geometrically in a way that they appear more invariant under these projection changes.

Technology literally making people insecure

Also that last girl is a doll 😍🥵

[Tamsin_bear]

Well that’s a relief, I often wondered if the mirror was making me look better

[bambeliful]

I *only* look good in selfies. Not regular pictures or mirror
