Why do good-looking people look bad in photos, but ugly people still look good in photos?

This has something to do with the angle, posture, and light of the photo.

1. Angle: The shooting angle includes shooting height, shooting direction and shooting distance. There are three shooting heights: flat shooting, overhead shooting and overhead shooting. The shooting directions are divided into front angle, side angle, oblique angle, back angle, etc. Shooting distance is one of the elements that determines the scene. The above are collectively referred to as geometric angles. There are also psychological perspectives, subjective perspectives, objective perspectives and subject-object perspectives. Choosing and determining the shooting angle at the shooting scene is the key task of the photographer. Different angles can produce different modeling effects and have different performance functions. The angle can be used to represent the scene realistically or exaggeratedly, which has special expressive significance. The wrong angle makes a thin person look fatter.

2. Posture: Posture is very important. Pay attention to the face, chest, and waist. They should not be on the same plane. The photos taken in this way will be very serious and solemn. Generally more suitable for ID photos. If a person’s chin It is relatively large and can be shot from above, which can effectively avoid the chin being photographed. If you have a big chin, it won’t look good if you shoot it from above.

3. Light: If a person has a good outline, you can backlight from the side of the light source, so that the personal outline can be better shown through the light. It’s best to take photos without backlighting, otherwise the beautiful woman’s face will look hideous and scary.
