Is there a difference between a photo and a real person? Where's the mirror?

There is a difference, but the difference is a little small.

It is because of shooting angle, light and other factors that the visual deviation is reflected in the photos. This deviation, whether beautiful or ugly, will always produce some visual changes. Of course, a good photographer will carefully capture your very beautiful moments with technology, and have to undergo later retouching and fine-tuning.

When looking in the mirror, there will also be a slight optical reaction, which is a simple physical light refraction phenomenon. As long as the mirror is not on an absolute plane, it will have a little edge shape, and the difference is subtle. Ha ha mirror just extends this physical phenomenon.

Extended data

Psychological research has found that when people look in the mirror, it is impossible to have a completely true and objective positioning of themselves!

Because the brain will make up for it automatically, the way you look in the mirror may be 30% better than your real self. In other words, you are actually about 30% uglier than you feel. Experts say this is why many people feel different when taking pictures.

Wang Jun, a psychologist and deputy chief physician of Nanjing No.1 Hospital, said: "Looking in the mirror to beautify yourself is actually a kind of self-suggestion." . Whether to beautify yourself by looking in the mirror is related to two factors, one is the mentality at that time, and the other is the motivation to look in the mirror.

In this sense, making yourself look good is related to a kind of psychological self-suggestion, because everyone wants to look good in the mirror, so give themselves a hint and idea. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder is also related to personal suggestion.
