Why does my mirror fool me?


Recommended Posts

Posted

I look like a cute Asian twink in the mirror, but in pictures & video I have a puffy face and look 10 years older than my age.

 

Why is this? :cries:

i have this trick i do when i let ppl take pics of me

 

make them move back really far but zoom in as close as they can, its sm more flattering. 

 

ot: lens distortion. renders ur eyes, can make ur nose bigger, smaller, or narrow than it really is. hope this helps.

Actually they are. Cameras have different lenses than we do, and other distortions. Mirrors reflect the exact object that we see :bird:

So what's more accurate, mirrors or cameras? :redface:

take a picture of you with your smartphone but from the back camera, that how people see you irl.

Camera lens distort your face differently than your eyes, so the image you see in the mirror and on photo are not the same. That’s why there are pretty people in real life but they look not as good in photo, and there are photogenic people who looks better on camera than in real life.

 

Some models are not conventionally good looking but they know how to work their face to look good on photo. It’s all about lighting, angles and controlling your face muscle

Well Idk I have experiences with many different types of mirrors (home, public restrooms, work, hotels, restaurants, gyms, etc.) Many mirrors give different reflections. Some make you a bit taller, some make you a bit thinner, some makes you uglier, etc. Idk

They have to be angular to give you that effect. Otherwise, a perfectly flat mirror will always reflect the object exactly as it is. It's pure physics.

mirrors are flipped, hold up your left hand in front of a mirror and the reflection will be holding up its right hand. its why your phone probably has a setting that lets you mirror your pictures, we are used to seeing the mirrored version of our face so the real version looks weird.

mirrors lie to me too, I look terrible in my photos.  But in person or in a mirror i dont look as bad :skull:

 

when I look at my picture with Allday my face it looks horrible and i ask people do I really look like that then my mum said yes so now I think the mirror is lying and ive been walking around with a horrific face :chick3:

Like others have said, your reflection in the mirror and to some extent with the right angle the back camera of your phone are what other people see. Front cameras and mirrors that aren’t perfectly straight/flat will distort what you see. It’s not to a huge degree tho so if you’re ugly in the photos then you probably ain’t much irl. I have seen some truly breathtakingly plain people take good pictures though so I don’t know.

Truth is, neither the camera nor the mirror are accurate, but it doesn't matter y'all are beautiful regardless
