Which Is More Accurate, How We Look In Mirrors Or How We Look In Photos?

[Sex Luthor]

The mirror. Some cameras have horrible high resolution capabilities..

Jaden Smith said it best...

Would rather look good in my pictures than in the mirror.

I've taken unflattering pictures of good looking people. Most people can look nice given proper lighting and angles.

Facts because cameras have mirrors in them.

There are too many technical variables and oddities when it comes to photographs

I think I’m ok, other people might feel differently. This weekend was my birthday and I would lie about my age just to see what people say.. most people assumed I was much younger than I was (even with the grey beard).



I read that the best way to see what others see is to stand infront of mirrors that are at a 90 degree angle… like an L shape with you in the middle.


I looked this up recently.. not all mirrors are built the same. For example, mirrors in the gym are specifically meant to make you look better. Like they’re angle slightly and etc.

And photos depend on factors such as angles, lenses, lighting, etc.

 

[O.T.I.S.]

Keep in mind that the focal length and distance used in photos can have a significant difference on how one appears in pictures. That's why many people feel like they look different from photo to photo.

Yep

On top of lighting, angles, etc., including distance

It's pictures.

they should have had the model maintain a consistent pose/facial expression. But that’s a good image

I would hope its the mirror because I mostly like the way I look in the mirror

Pictures can be manipulated and then there's angles and stuff, I generally don't like how I look in pictures

 

[buzzkill]

its mirrors

so much can make u look different in pictures.. hell theres a way to take pics to make you look taller/shorter/bigger not to mention when you factor in lighting and camera quality...

 

[MikelArteta]

photos are only a 2d flat image


And to me it’s a mirro, if you’re with someone else and look in a mirror and then look at their face not much changed right?

I would say mirrors, but the difference from natural would Height of the individual looking at you...
