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.

As someone with a long face, I hate that selfies make your face look even longer and your nose looks bigger. I’ve always liked photos of myself taken from more of a distance not because I think I’m busted and need to be further for that reason but that my face gets distorted otherwise. But I think some people take advantage of this and I see people with weak midfaces make use of this feature of the front facing camera to make their midface or jaw look more developed. And then you see them irl or in a tagged photo and they look so different.

@Jason Phan No lens distortion is a different thing, usually on very wide angle lenses that warps an image, creating a fish eye effect. This video specifically demonstrates how the distance between the subject and camera creates a different look, but this is entirely due to how closer objects will appear larger relative to further objects in a frame which doesn't change with a different different focal length lense.

@jasonphan2001

Жыл бұрын

@@fan8432 There is least distortion in the very center on the lens, being really close with your face is going to take up more space & be outside of the center & around the coners which distorts the image. Try taking mirror selfie then tilting your phone slighting purposely placing your head at the corner of the shot, it will elongate or widen & distort your face. Most smartphone cameras especially front facing, put wide angle lenses to fit more people in but distorts a whole lot. Girls play with this angle & distortion to get longer legs in pics & stuff. That's why smart phones are now adding tons of cameras on the back. Back then they only had one camera & went with wide angle lens for best picture in most senerios but now added larger mm lenses for those portrait shots.

@Jason Phan just because a camera uses a wide angle lens doesn't mean that it has lens distortion. You can tell if it does by taking a picture of gridlines and seeing if those lines bend. On my phone, even at the widest option, it doesn't have lens distortion on the front or back camera.

I can only look slightly socially acceptably on phone camera shots due to the default filters. When I once had a virtual video call with a doctor over the phone, I saw myself on video and the had turned the filter off. I looked like a gargoyle. Then I learned a bit more about why we look different in mirrors vs cameras. I think there's more to it than just the distortion of your face shape and facial features.

its because your the only one who finds it weird because your so used to seeing yourself in mirror. mirror shows us a left to right version while the camera shows the opposite which is right to left (depends on the camera) but that doesn't mean that mirror doesn't show you what you look like both does shows you what you look like just in a different perspective. a camera might be inaccurate due to the focal lengths or maybe bad angle while a mirror is inaccurate either from a bad lighting and its left to right reversal.

Is this why we look heavier/fatter in pictures too. These phone cameras mess with our minds

Lol I had really severe body dysmorphia growing up, I was always asking google if you really look how you do in photos.

i like myself only on close-up photos. when i move away from camera, my head becomes big and features like eyes, lips, small. i’m glad many people realise that they look better irl, but i’m not one of them xdxd

It’s not about barrel distortion, it’s about perspective distortion, which is a different thing. If you get close to a wide-angle rectilinear lens (a lens with close to zero barrel distortion), your face will still look thinner than it would when it’s further away from the lens. This shows it’s about perspective. If you know about the dolly-zoom effect in movies, you’ll know that moving a camera closer to your subject while zooming out will seem to make the background shrink, while moving further away and zooming in will make the background get bigger. This effect also changes the way the face looks - it can either ‘flatten’ the face in the ladder case, or stretch the y-axis in the former. This is perspective distortion. On the other hand, barrel distortion probably wouldn’t affect the face that much in most cases. Outside of fisheye lenses, most modern lenses don’t have extreme enough barrel distortion to meaningfully alter facial proportions.

If you have brown eyes and really fair skin it does a weird contrast thing where your nose definition or any definition disappears like an alien or something too. Those cameras definitely alter things pretty badly.

The second guy at the start of the video looks like human Shrek 💀

this literally makes my nose look HUMONGOUS and its so annoying, i have a wide nose already like i dont need it to be any wider 😭😭

Me who thinks I look better closer on selfie than in mirror or far lense

i’ve had people tell me I look better in real life okay never take pics, cool, got it

Same. Most pictures tend to capture my Gollum side.

Nice, thanks for this info. I look weird in pictures

Yep, a close camera emphasizes the difference in distance between your nose and the camera and your eyes and the camera. When the camera is further, the relative difference is smaller compared to the distance to the camera

I like how that last one gets hotter the further away she gets from the mirror.

This kinda thing saved me $10k cuz now I don’t want a nose job anymore lol

Take a picture with the back camera and flip it

So, i mean i am acutally beautiful 🗿

so all we need now is a mirror that takes screenshots 🤞🏻

Being zoomed in also lowers pixel quality so , we all look better that way

This is why there is exactly 2 pictures of me in existence. Yes, just 2. This is exactly why I avoid taking pictures and I don't care for other people's pictures. I much prefer REALITY and MOVEMENT. Not some 2D snapshot variation of a human's existence. People have this weird automatic thought process of what a person is like based on a picture i.e. someone smiling in a picture with a group of "friends" gets people automatically thinking "Oh, they're a happy friendly person who is social and/or has lots of friends". Seriously, it's an innate response. Almost like common sense flies out the brains of people, and in that moment people seem to forget that 1. people generally tend to SMILE in posed photos, and 2. It's not difficult to stand next to people. *In reality, the "happy, social" person you see in the photo could be a depressed, depraved, antisocial people-hating maniac* 😊

You can always draw yourself instead of taking a photo. Or commission someone to

Thiiiis! Humans rely far too much on photos to make decisions these days. One of the many reasons I believe online dating is nonsense.

I believe I look better in my mirror then I do in photographs.

THEY LOOK GOOD BOTH WAYS

I'm not a selfie person so I didn't even noticed any difference, and when I do I just tend to move my camera the farthest as my arm can go

Name of the filter please?

I feel like the last girl looks good in both. Her natural features are so wide and spaced out, that when distorted she still looks like a regular person. Just one with wide pretty features and the other more elongated w a more oval face.

i envy people who look good in camera, they would look really good in mirror

I look so bad without filters when i open snapchat no matter what pose i do

I’m ugly in both 😅

Ah I always wondered why I looked so ugly when I took a selfie, thanx for explaining that 😂

thanks for explaining this with science about perception so cool

No wonder I hated taking pictures

So which is the perfect camera lens for accurate photography?

It depends on how much of your body + background you're trying to capture. For portraits, it's 85mm+.

This is why I don’t like taking selfies

Ahhh thank you, I seriously needed this video. The other day I almost freaked out bc of a selfie I took and I just looked so weird, my face shape and my head looked so so different, that I got like "🤔🤨, do I looked like this? Why do I look different in the mirror?!?" Haha But then I also find that in different mirrors I look different. Could you explain that as well? TYSM! Blessingssss

What if you look good in the zoomed in version lol

That’s what I’m thinking lol I think I look better in selfies

People are better looking when further away from the camera

I'm not a techy but I can tell camera phones distort images in a way other traditional digital cameras do not. I thought it was because there are multiple lenses.

Yes!! I always think i look better in the mirror than in photos

This was the excuse Mikayla peterson used to denu her plastic surgery

Thank goodness I look good in the mirror. I hate taking pictures because I always look like shit.

I didn’t know bout this, my mirror be making look hella pretty but I try to take pictures with my camera I look like fish, not the koi or jelly fish type but like a catfish😂, so I was giving the name at work “mirror selfie Queen” 🤣
