Is it true when looking in the mirror or taking a photo?

Looking in the mirror is true, because the accuracy and proportion of photography are not equal to reality.

According to some data, the self shown in the mirror does have a beauty function. In other words, the real self is actually uglier than the self in the mirror.

When a person looks in the mirror, subtracting about 30% from the image in the mirror is our true appearance. The beauty of a mirror's reflection is related to many factors. One of them is the shape of the mirror. The unevenness of the mirror will also affect people's image in the mirror.

The first selfie in human history appeared in 1839. The photo was taken by American photographer Robert Cornelius. It’s just that cameras were not popular at that time, and ordinary people couldn’t take selfies. It wasn't until Kodak introduced the cheap "Brownie Box" camera in 1900 that cameras became popular among ordinary people.

In November 2013, the Mashable website released some selected antique selfies. For modern people, selfies are just a form of entertainment, but for the selfie pioneers in the early 20th century, it was nothing. It is different from a revolutionary innovation.

The vintage selfies include a photo of a British woman wearing a plaid dress and taking the selfie in the mirror using a Kodak "Box Brownie" camera.

The photo was taken in 1900, the same year that Kodak introduced the "Box Brownie" camera. This camera brought revolutionary changes to the art of photography. Before it, photography was only a minority. It is a human patent. After it, ordinary people can also take pictures, so many selfies have been passed down to this day.

Great works that would surprise even modern people, such as the selfie taken by Terry Fincher before parachuting in 1966. There is also a 1930s selfie of a woman holding a trophy, and a close-up selfie of a gentleman in a tweed suit from 1938.
