Ugly people are more photogenic, beautiful people are not photogenic.

Ugly people tend to be photogenic, but beauties are not photogenic

Ugly people are often photogenic, but beauties are not photogenic. Some beautiful girls feel helpless because they are not photogenic. In fact, whether a person is photogenic or not is not a matter of fact. Generally speaking, a face appears differently in different shots. Let’s take a look at how ugly people are more photogenic and beautiful people are not photogenic. Ugly people are more photogenic, beautiful people are not photogenic1

Today’s photography equipment technology is very advanced, any shot will look like a blockbuster, and any shot will have a beauty effect. It’s difficult to even take an authentic photo. Therefore, there is a big gap between the people in the camera and the people in real life. An ugly person becomes beautiful in one shot, because the difference between the photo taken and the person is very big, which makes people’s eyes light up. Once you take a photo of a beautiful woman, on the contrary, the photos taken by the camera cannot make you more beautiful. On the contrary, they feel unreal and do not achieve your expectations.

The reason why it is not photogenic is related to the following reasons:

Field of view

In display life, we see things with binocular vision, and the three-dimensional sense is very strong . As the camera has a monocular field of view, it loses the sense of three-dimensionality. Once the sense of three-dimensionality is lost, the shortcomings of the human face will be more obvious. Therefore, it is not difficult for us to find that people with fewer facial defects will look better on the camera, while those with nasolabial folds, sunken temples, and high cheekbones will look older and unattractive on the camera.

Facial features

People with more three-dimensional facial features will look better on camera. We often say that a certain celebrity has had a nose job, but in fact, celebrities have no choice. Celebrities face the camera every day. They must have their noses augmented to enhance the three-dimensional sense of their facial features, so that they look good on camera and the audience will like them. Once the nose is flattened, the three-dimensional sense of the facial features is gone. Once you take a photo, you will find that your face is flat and becomes the legendary pie face. So for those who don’t take photos, take a look to see if your facial features are not three-dimensional enough. .

Face shape

The face shape is very important whether it is photogenic or not. The oval face can be said to be the most photogenic, because the chin line of the oval face is slanted, which avoids the frame with the camera. Forming a parallel state, the facial contour appears to be more delicate visually. Square faces do not look good on the camera. This is because the mandibular angle line of a square face is not very soft and the mandibular angle is protruding. When photographed, the two-dimensional plane will magnify the protruding mandibular angle, making it appear The squarer the face, the bigger the face looks. This is why people nowadays like to have chin augmentation or mandibular angle augmentation to achieve a square face, because the more prominent the chin is, the better it looks on camera. Ugly people are more photogenic, beautiful people are not photogenic 2

As the old saying goes, "Ugly people are more photogenic, beautiful people are not photogenic." The so-called unphotogenic does not mean that they are ugly, but they are not as stunning as real people in reality.

Psychologists from the University of California and Harvard University once made a famous discovery that people think people in videos are more beautiful than screenshots of the same video, even if you think you look better in the photo. There is no need to worry if you are very unlucky, as others will think you are much prettier as a real person who can move. To put it bluntly, you are obviously very good-looking, but not photogenic. This is the "frozen face effect".

Therefore, a face that is suitable for being photographed must have three-dimensional facial features and well-coordinated proportions. People with slightly flat facial features can only have a clear face when being photographed under strong light. The outline would otherwise be compressed into a more flat shape. A non-offensive appearance like Liu Yifei's makes her look more comfortable and gentle in life.

In addition to the three-dimensional facial features, the face shape also accounts for a large proportion. The typical oval face like Zhang Jiani is more advantageous. The chin line of this face shape is slanted, avoiding the frame with the camera, forming The parallel state uses visual contrast conflicts to show the delicate facial contours.

A round face is a borderline face shape. If you are smaller, you will be cute, but if you are larger, you will have a pie face. The exploded face is very eye-catching, but her face is not big at all! So I look very cute and adorable on camera instead of being too cute.

Many people confuse a concept, round face = pie face. In fact, there is a difference between the two. Pie face refers to a face that is as flat as a pie. The entire outline of the face is relatively large, and the cheekbones are The bones are relatively flat, the nose is low, and the facial features are not clear, resulting in the overall face looking relatively flat and lacking in three-dimensionality.

Zhao Liying’s face is round but not flat. Just look at the recently popular Chu Qiao Biography. Zhao Liying has lost seven or eight kilograms. From the side, her facial features are three-dimensional and prominent. Her mandibular angle is clear and her face is The contours are clearly defined. Facts have proved that a round face is not scary, but a big face is a devastating blow.

Compared with oval face, round face, square face may be the most unflattering face shape in the camera. When you look at it in real life, the facial features are three-dimensional, which will weaken the vision. The mandibular angle of a square face highlights the appearance of the facial features, making it less likely that the face will look big.

Lenses are picky, especially flat photos that will magnify facial defects. The two mandibular angles of a square face will be obviously prominent. Every photo taken by Li Yuchun shows a square face. In fact, in life The face in the photo does not look as square as in the photo.

So, if you have a round face, fleshy cheeks, apples that are not flat but not plump, and a lack of three-dimensional facial features that are not photogenic, what should you do if you have a swollen face? I just want to make myself look beautiful on camera, especially if I take a frontal photo.

So in order to make myself more photogenic, I came up with the first option - makeup, focusing on using light and shadow to shape facial contours, and using contouring to highlight the three-dimensional features of the facial features.

The second option is to fill the face with autologous fat. The purpose is to fill in the sunken areas of the face, make your facial curves more natural and three-dimensional, and help you shape into an oval face. Ugly people are more photogenic, and beautiful people are not. Photogenic 3

Many beautiful people are not photogenic for the following reasons:

1. No makeup. People rely on clothes, and beauty relies on makeup. If a beautiful person is dressed sloppily, it will not look good no matter how beautiful and photogenic she is. So you need to put on makeup so that you can look better and be more photogenic.

 2 Many very beautiful people have completely symmetrical faces. They look really beautiful at first glance, but after looking at them, they turn around and forget what their faces look like. Because a completely symmetrical face shape is difficult to remember.

I believe many people feel this way. For example, Korean beauties have undergone plastic surgery to look the same, that is, their faces are very symmetrical and they look really beautiful. But after reading it, you don’t know who is who. Once the computer is turned off, you can’t even remember what this beauty looks like. But most Chinese female stars have never had plastic surgery. When you look at their faces, you can basically remember the faces of every celebrity after seeing them. This is because their face shapes are easier to remember and have more personality. A face that is truly symmetrical is truly beautiful, but Because her face shape is difficult to photograph and remember, this kind of person is even more difficult to become famous.

Directors usually pick people who are photogenic. Why, because those who are photogenic are easy to remember. I believe many people have seen it in daily life. Many passers-by are really more beautiful than celebrities, but why can't they follow the path of artists? Of course, one reason is because they don't want to leave, but many actually want to leave, but they can't because they are not photogenic.

3. I have not received professional training and guidance, do not understand body language and body art, and do not know how to perform, so I will not be on camera. If a beautiful woman stands there numbly, no matter how beautiful she is, she will not be photogenic, and the photo will not look good.
